heyy all🫶🏻🫶🏻 i saw someone else do this on here as well so i wanted to join!! drop an interesting fact, literally anything (abt yourself, animals, books, anything at all) and we can follow each other!! ill go first: did you know that when mosquitoes bite you, they pee on you as well?

hey all🫶🏻 do you guys prefer reading with music or without? and if so do you all use the playlist the author provides, if provided? I've tried reading with music but i just cant focus💔

I have had quite a few songs in my head lately that I just keep singing so that has inspired this question!

Songs I've had in my head lately and the genre I think they fall under.

Seven by Jungkook featuring Latto- Romance specifically steamy reads

Skyscraper by NCT 127 - Sci Fi

Faster & 2 Baddies by NCT 127- Adventure since these songs are about cars specifically (they are from the same album. So is Skyscraper)

No Longer by NCT 127- This song would be under Romance, but one with a bunch of heartbreak. The boys sing as if they are heartbroken.

Fact Check by NCT 127- Nonfiction (They are telling you to check facts 😭😂)

I know most of them are NCT songs...they are currently my favorite to listen to...though I will be taking a massive break after the news of Mark Lee leaving them.

So what are some of the songs that have been in your head?

Are there any tropes you hate (or well, dislike) and prefer not to read, or absolutely won't read, books with them?

(No shade to anyone who does enjoy these tropes! They're just not for me 😅)

For me the trope I hate most is probably RH (reverse harem). Idk why but whenever I come across books with those I keep thinking about if the genders were swapped and then I can't stomach it.

I also hate love triangle tropes (unless they all end up together 😈). I think I started realizing this when I first got into Sarah Maas books; iirc (it's been a while) both TOG and ACOTAR's first books have love triangles. I think the only cases I enjoyed the way they were handled were in Cassandra Clare's books, in TDA and TID.

sorry for yet another recommendation thread 😭 i unfortunately get frequent/chronic migraines (i'm not sure if i meet the requirement for "chronic" 100%, but they're certainly frequent) which makes it hard to read properly. on a "good" day/when i'm recovering in bed reading something easy is a nice way to spend time as it doesn't involve much movement or energy. unfortunately a lot of the books i tend to read don't fall under the "easy-reading" category so i find myself struggling and thought i'd ask here so...

what books would you recommend that are good for migraines? i'm thinking like, cozy/comfy fiction (ideally), low stakes, non-confusing plot etc. i've not read much (modern) fiction in the last.. 10 yrs or so, so i'm not really sure what my typical genres are anymore, but i'm going to try to compile a list, ty in advance 🫶 (also happy to answer questions that clarify i just dk what else to put rn sorry 😅)

ETA: thank you for all the recs! i've compiled them all into a list here, feel free to suggest more 🫶
