  • If We Were Villains
    Going in Blind

    So… I’ve never read a synopsis of this book or anything like, it’s only ever been suggested to me. It’s been suggested bc one of my fav aesthetics/themes/sub-genres to read is Dark Academia & this is always a top recommendation (after the obvious ones). Tbh I am pretty excited to read it, since it’s been recommended so often!

    Is this a bad book to start blind or am I gonna be okay?

  • Thankful the for “Plan” tab!

    Yesterday I finished a book & spent almost 12+ hrs trying to figure out the book I had planned to read next. Puzzled & puzzled the entire time UNTIL I remembered the “Plan” tab on here & there it was, the next book I planned on reading. Just wanted to share something I loved abt this app! Something I didn’t know I liked or needed, until I did 😅 Here is a reminder to use that tab if you haven’t yet, bc it is a time saver! On a related note, what’s is something on this app that you love that was unexpected?

  • Bored?

    I know we all love reading, but do you ever feel "burnt out" from it? Like, unmotivated? I planned to read today, but I felt so exhausted that I wound up rewatching Hunger Games instead 😅

  • What is your ideal book length?

    My personal sweet spot is 200-400 pages, though certainly I read and love books that don't fall in this range! But I think this is a good length to get engrossed in a book without it becoming too much of a time commitment.
