is anyone else still using their storygraph account? i feel funny going back and forth between the two but i love the charts and data that storygraph presents you (guess i'm a nerd)

if you're not still using it, what are you using instead?

What are some titles you wish you could wipe from memory just to enjoy again?

Doesn't have to be because they're twisty with reveals you didn't see coming, but just that elusive feeling of discovering something beloved for the first time.

For me high on the list is the Monk & Robot books from Becky Chambers. I've reread them numerous times because of how much comfort they bring me, and that feeling of "wow, I really needed this wholesomeness" would be great to discover anew.

Also the Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin, and that one is for the twitsy turns!

What about y'all?

Hey what the fuck just happened

Assuming, of course, that you like romance in your story at all.

Me, personally, I like anywhere between medium-slow to glacial when it’s done right. To me it’s about payoff!

I'm very unsure of where I saw it, but someone had this book listed in dark academia and I would like to throw hands with them???? I think they mistook the plot for The Incandescent because this is a fantasy book. A very interesting fantasy book, but just plain fantasy all the same.

Hi all! I am back again with another TikTok trend I’ve seen and it’s where they list 10 books they’d love to get to before the end of the year!

I don’t think I have 10 books that I absolutely need to read before the year is over but here are a few:

- The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo - Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (re-reads!) - Ninth House/Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo (re-reads even though I already did a re-read of Ninth House earlier this year 😂) - East of Eden by John Steinbeck - Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

So that’s 7 books for me! What about you guys? 🥰

If you had all the time in the world to read but could only stick to one format… which would it be? 🤔

📖 Hardcover 📚 Paperback 📱 Digital (Kindle/ebook) 🎧 Audiobook

Personally, I’m 100% Team Kindle 💕 I love the color display, being able to highlight passages, look up words instantly, read anywhere since it fits in nearly everything I carry, and never worry about lighting. It’s just so convenient!!

I used to have (and am planning to again) spring for an out of town library card at a library that offers e-lending for a fee. I think having an expanded offering and supporting another library is great!

Anyone else?

I like to think of the My Taste section as a place not only for people to see what books I enjoy, but also to promote books that I want more people to read 👀 so my question is...

What's the book in your My Taste section with the fewest number of ratings? (could be 2, could be 2000!) and/or: What's a criminally underrated book in your opinion?

I'll start: Abigail by Magda Szabó has 19 ratings, and it'll probably be one of my favorite books I read this year! It's about a girl who gets sent to a strict boarding school in WWII Hungary, her relationship with her father, and also a statue that communicates with the students. I think it's the perfect fall academia (only thing I dislike is the JKR reference in the blurb 🙃)

Edit: You all. I've added so many new books to my library list please have mercy on me

as before. What the fuuuuuuuck
