I've made a post about our gorgeous female MC's in a novel, now what personality traits/quirks are you craving to read in a male lead of a romance novel? What do you feel has been overdone?

Tomorrow, September 6th is National Read A Book Day! Do y'all celebrate in any way?

My family does blind date with a book for everyone. We just started making a day of it last year and it was a hit. We have cookies, coffee, and our blind date books and read for the day together.

I'm finishing up wrapping their books now and am nervous to see everyone's reaction tomorrow bc I went off list when choosing books this year.

Hello everyone,

I am in a mood to be destroyed emotionally. Therefore, could you please give me book recommendations that feel like the below:

I told you things - Gracie Abrams You’re losing me - Taylor Swift tolerate it - TS this is me trying - TS my tears ricochet - TS How Did It End? - TS So Long London - TS

I am looking forward to every title!!! 🤍

What personality traits/quirks are you craving to read in a female lead of a romance novel? What do you feel has been overdone?

I'm curious: what are your favourite types of settings in what you read?

Are you excited when a book takes place somewhere you've been? Do you prefer when it is somewhere you'd like to go? Do you strictly prefer places that don't exist in our world?

DISCUSS!

Two weeks ago I asked for your favorite romance book and recommendations. Most of the recs were Book Lovers and Beach Read both by Emily Henry. Anyway, I got one of the blind date with a book book (haha) for national read a book day and well the book I got was Beach Read! I guess it was meant to be and so convenient, now I don’t have an excuse to not read it hehe. And that’s it, I just wanted to share how crazy that was lol and thanks again for the recs and for all the support! I love the PB community 💜

i’m wondering how everyone views being stuck in a reading slump, how do you know you’re in one?

is it when you haven’t touched a book in a couple of days or is it in a couple of months?

or is it when you get this feeling that it’s a chore to read a book instead of an enjoyable thing?

or is it something else? i’m happy to hear everyone’s opinions.

i think i’m currently in one, because that feeling of enjoying a book isn’t there & i wonder what can i do to feel motivated again to read
