I’m so mad that I’ve been working sm because all I wanna do is read this book!
So far, Scarlet is the better sister imo- more of her please. Also, as of rn, I’ve got a feeling that Matty is the werewolf. I’ve got NO proof, nothing in the book has directed me to that though, just a suspicion.
That being said, I’m genuinely surprised by how much I like this within the first 30 pages!

Since there are so many new people here after the app release (welcome everyone!!) and we all share a love of books and reading, I was curious of your interests outside of reading.
Mine include:
• anime (one piece especially, but I have many other old school favs) • I also love watching asian drama and I’m obsessed with historical c-dramas (my irl friends make fun of me for this but idc historical c-dramas are god tier 😤). • Tamagotchis • D&D (I don’t play but I love watching campaigns) • cats
What are your interests besides reading? 🥰

Please recommend me your favourite engaging reads, something that will take my mind travelling to "other worlds", discoveries, adventures, etc. Recently I read Atalanta and this was exactly what my ADHD mind craves, as it follows the quest of the Argonauts and included lots of different exciting scenarios. It doesn't necessarily have to involve travelling, but if a book gave you this feeling of being constantly engaging, discovering new things, or exploring new topics/territories, please let me know! thaaank you!

I’m so excited to read this! It’s a book that I’ll be trading with my best friend, with annotations.
First Impression: the cover is iconic & sorta refreshing because it genuinely sticks out compared to the copy-and-paste covers that have been popular lately. You know, the paper back mass produced ones with a dude (usually brown haired) & a girl (usually blonde) that are semi-opposites & involve some sort of hobby. Also, I haven’t read a novel that pairs Werewolves & Trauma together before, I’m curious to see how the author pulls that together.

Such a strange but interesting novel, Kafka has an odd sense of humor. Very weird, a good book for getting in the Halloween vibe. The development of the characters was one of my favorite parts of the novel- hands down. Especially Grete, she was particularly interesting to read about. How Kafka managed to write this novel from a perspective of a beetle while not losing the human aspect shines on his writing skill.
I’d consider this book an acquired taste, to be honest! If you like The Fly, with Jeff Goldbloom, you’ll probably like this book!

Do you ever have the urge to read many books at the same and you end reading any because u simply can't choose?

I learned that oleander can symbolize danger/caution and Jonathan’s last glimpse of the inn, that he says he’ll never forget, he sees oleander right before he goes to Dracula’s. The people and the plants giving my boy warnings.

Chapter 2 has been both fun as well as bittersweet.
The perspective of Gregor feels suspiciously accurate for someone in his position & it makes me aggressively curious to know what type of insect he is! Also, how did Kafka determine the perspective to take with Gregor as the narrator? And why did he decide on Gregor as the narrator, it does make sense, but why not Grete or one of the parents? The development of the cast has been interesting, his sister taking on the role she has was not what I expected. And his parent’s reactions later on, half way through chapter 2, are surprising but, arguably, realistic.
Throughly enjoying it so far, but also looking forward to it ending!

Whether you love to hate or hate to love 'em, these literary bad girls are anything but well-behaved. *Disclaimer: we do not literally support the illegal and oft cruel behavior of these protagonists (usually); we support the authors bold enough to write them (always).

Although this quest leans more literary, I'd love to get a rec thread going of books from all genres that center unhinged women. Pop in your nominations that should be included in the quest also!

Just finished the 2nd chapter, and I'm not in love with the story yet. Mainly because the family is so privileged and rich- it's a bit unrealistic. It's difficult to connect with Lori because her problems are so... first-world and impersonal. However, I do like this idea of a Vampire lurking around and the ancient Aunt Dimity, whom I am very excited to meet (hopefully soon!). It is a pleasant read so far, though, easy to understand and follow.

So, as it says above, my best friend and I are going to trade annotated books this fall season. Every year, I read one completely for fun, "junk-food" book. For example, I read "Gil's All Fright Diner", which was very fun and an easy, quick read. (I do recommend it.) Another year, I read "The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic", which I highly recommend, HIGHLY. This year, Bestie Girl and I are trading books, but I'm having a difficult time finding a book! Originally, I was debating picking up "A Village Librarian Demon Hunting Society" and, upon reading the reviews, am unsure if I'd like it. What drew me to it was that the MC was a librarian, and the idea of a "demon-hunting society" reminded me of Supernatural. What specifically in the reviews repelled me was that there was (1) light demon-hunting and (2) the mystery was lackluster. So, I'd love some suggestions! Perferably something cozy, magical/supernatural, and with a female MC. Romance isn't necessary; however, it wouldn't be a deal breaker. A standalone is ideal, but I wouldn't be opposed to a short series. I'm so excited to read through these suggestions!! 🎃✨🍂☕❣️

Tell me about a time you picked up a book solely based on the cover and it ended up being the most amazing (or worst) thing you’ve ever read!
