In which fictional setting would you most like to have a reading day? In this scenario, youâre all alone wherever you choose! No characters to run into or to play in the background! Like the place is a huge empty set! (Nothing coming to scare you or get you!)
I am torn between the library in The House of Wind (ACOSF) and Deathâs manor in the forest (A Dark and Wild Wood). I like the idea of the House of Wind making snacks and drinks appear for me, but a gothic manor in an enchanted forest sounds almost too good to pass up. đ§ Thrushcross Grange would be a fun place to explore, too! I have too many answers!

As many of us are, I'm gradually planning for and chipping away at my HRCYED and I am at an impasse that I need an assist on!
For the birthday challenge, I was born in a Year of the Horse. Here's the thing- I fuckin hate horses. They freak me out IRL, I've never understood the hype even as a child, they're too big and they're legit scary and people are too chill about them. I'm not a mean hater and they do have my respect- but from a distance because I don't fuck with them. So what book am I to read? I know if I leave it to figure out later, I'm going to put it off until the end and have to hate read a cowboy romance because I can't think of anything else.

what book/s would you want to read from another characterâs perspective without changing anything that happens?

If you were able to, which book would you want to read for the first time again? For me I'd love to re-read The Starless Sea for the very first time!!

I've been diagnosed with ADHD for a few years and was recently diagnosed with something else that makes it so I can't take the stimulant meds anymore. I was finding it so hard to concentrate on books or honestly any reading once I was off the medication.
I started doing tandem reading more and more often until it was basically the only way I actually read unless it's a short story or fanfic.
Does anyone have any other ways they accommodate themselves?

Does anybody else feel rage baited by Bloomsbury with the ACOTAR 6 marketing?
Like 2 months until release give or take no title. no blurb. no cover. Nothing.
But Bloomsbury keeps posting ACOTAR content from re-read content, to ACOTAR themed pilates classes, or just things to do with the series. And heavily pushing the ACOTAR series with the new colors everywhere. And the cover artist is posting teasers but obviously they can't say anything. The translators are like "Look what I'm reading"
And in the comments people are, rightfully, fed up. I've seen several say they feel rage baited and have cancelled their pre-orders
Honestly, I'm beginning to lose interest myself but I'm going to an ACOTAR 6 Midnight Release thats non-refundable
I've never known a publisher to potentially rage bait an entire fandom 𤣠And really, just a date would be sufficient!

I am really liking this one so far! Itâs refreshing somehow. Itâs definitely still a fun romantasy, so of course some of the tropes are inescapable. But they feel more fun in this one to me, and less forced. I love having Henryâs POV, and I LOVE that they actually hate each other FOR A GOOD REASON! Itâs not like other enemies-to-lovers stories where their mutual âhatredâ is more of an annoyance/weakly-reasoned farce.
There are some things that donât make sense to me, like why Henryâs friends are on this formal family visit to meet his future bride? Iâm hoping that gets explained later, and that theyâre not just there for Henry to be part of the Magical Token Special Brother Trio Of Brotherhood that we see in a lot of these other stories.

When youâre reading a book and sobbing your eyes out, who do you cuddle with? Show us a picture!!
(Yes, this is absolutely 100% me shamelessly posting a thread to see everyoneâs pets. And if you cuddle a plant or a stuffed animal, show us those too! Iâm not sorry for this post.)
