I got this through my library, paperback, and the pages are WHITE, like stark which is pretty unusual, kinda hurting my eyes at first. Is the published version the same? Or perhaps this is an older version and its been changed?

The question is intended for things that are either less popular overall or that you never see anyone else who is into a particular book or series you love, but once you've added that on you are also welcome to go "and this popular thing also!"
For me it's novels in verse; I fear most people were presented poetry in an unapproachable way and it tainted the idea of it for them and they miss out on some very quick reading but absolutely heart-wrenching stories as a result.
(my more popular answer would be The Raven Scholar. Go Read It.)

I honestly think it’s a habit I need to start but can’t bring myself to it. There are so many books that I have DNFed cuz I didn’t want to read a triggering description but was nervous if I didn’t read it I’d miss an important detail. Do u skip chapters/ paragraphs? Why or why not?
Edit; I appreciate everyone’s advice and the validation in DNFing. The reason why I’m asking for how other people deal with this is bc I am a huge horror fan and if I DNF every book that triggers me, I’d miss out on a lot. The reason why I read horror is bc I feel like it is a safe way to explore trauma (I’m sorry, I shoulve led with this), but unfortunately sometimes the descriptions r too much for me. I really do enjoy reading how all of u deal with triggering books and as I said thank u all sm for ur advice and honestly, I do feel a lot better abt when I do have to DNF <3

I think I'm particularly inclined to love anything that has to do with Jack, who has been my favorite since book one, honestly

How do you normally decide or pick on books to read/buy? Example, do you randomly walk to a book store and just pick random books and read their synopsis? Or do you have a list ready and just stick on that? 🤔
