  • What's your aesthetic? Does it match what you read

    I'm curious — considering a lot of us readers are collectors, have lots of cozy hobbies, and take care of curating a space that feels like our own — what's your aesthetic?

    I'm a pink and glitter lover, which means my kindle and Kobo are decorated with pink, and I like pink and glittery things in my cozy gaming and reading space. I think mine matches my fave genres, which is romance.

    I'm curious how everyone else is curating or decorating their shelves/reading space/ hobby space.

    And does it match what you read?

  • Libby’s new feature for inspiration

    Has anyone tried the new feature in Libby? You insert #inspireme in the search function and it will come up with a set of choices available in that particular public library. It eventually narrows to about five or so choices.

    I picked “fiction” for “adults” that is “rogish” and a wide variety of categories across multiple genres were provided. From that list I chose “scoundrels gambling, scheming, and seducing in Regency London.” All the choices seemed to fit the bill, and I’d read none of them before.

    It was fun, and (IMO) a lot better way to use AI than trying to use it than creating new works in creative spheres. I suspect if I’d been in the library itself though, I might have preferred speaking with the librarian. Well, at least if it wasn’t romance I was looking for (you know: stigma, misogyny, and all that).

    Edit: I should add the books were all available immediately.

  • Cookbooks = reading?

    Do cookbooks count as reading? My friend's grandma likes to say she reads a lot, but all she reads are cookbooks. It's not a problem either way, it just got me thinking.

  • Non Fiction Recommendations

    Hey, I'm definitely a novel/non fiction gal. But recently I've been going through a bit of a non-fiction phase - have loved Cult-ish, Men who hate women, jailbirds and Witchcraft (a history in 13 trials).

    Does anyone have any recommendations of non fiction they love? Please no self help/autobiography style as I've read a lot in the past and don't want anymore and find a lot of the recommendations fall into these categories. I just want to read about interesting topics, in a way that engaging - would love any help thanks in advance.

  • changing preferences?

    I have noticed myself drifting away from genres/books I intially loved. Has anyone else dealt with something similar? How did you find it? For me, it feels like I’ve outgrown old friends in a way.

    I only just started reading again this past year after many years of not reading at all. As I’ve kept reading and exploring - I have found that the genres and types of books I used to devour, I have no interest in. Even gotten a type of ick for some.

    Also, I think I need to break up with booktok/gram - I just feel bamboozled by the hype of some books.

  • Books you collect?

    Is there a specific book or type of book you collect?

    I try to thrift Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas Historical Romance from the thrift stores and it's like a game.

    I was curious if there were books people tried to collect specifically.

  • Another type of reading!🌷

    I was thinking about how the are 4 types of readers(of what l have seen and heard!)✨️ ★First is your normal reader:they are reading the physical book and well it's ofc the classic one😌 ★Second is the audio reader:They don't read the physical book but they listen to it!(thank you to all the voice actors for making our favourite books sound so good!🥹) ★Third is the kindle reader:they also don't read the physical book but the "online" version of it!(and ofc they buy the physical copy as a trophy 😉) ★Fourth and lastly we have the audio and normal reader:They listen to the audiobook while reading the physical copy!(it helps some people to focus to the story😊)

    ->Well,which reader are you??🤭 Personally lm a classic reader ✨️ 😌l love the feeling of the physical copy🫶🏼Also l kinda have a very bad focus when lm reading online,l get easily distracted by everything 😶But l would love to try to read in kindle,it looks fun!😁

  • Books you can't recommend to anyone you know IRL

    Sometimes you really love a book, but for whatever reason you can't recommend it to anyone you know in real life.

    Maybe you don't know many readers! Maybe it's a genre your friends don't like! Maybe it's too spicy or too violent! Maybe it's just too....weird!

    Recommend that book here that you can't recommend anywhere else and maybe it'll find a new home with someone in the comments :)

    ⭐️ The book I can't recommend IRL but desperately wish I could: No One is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood. It's definitely in the "too weird" category. It's a commentary on how we relate to each other and ourselves in our online brainrot age, and it's written in the form of these disconnected stream-of-consciousness blurbs. In the first half of the book, the narrator describes going on a world tour after one of her posts goes viral. Her life exists online entirely. In the second half, something happens in her real life offline that changes everything for her. The whole book is strange, esoteric, and deeply moving. It's one of those books that I'll be thinking about for the rest of my life, and anytime I see a review from someone saying they don't like it or don't get it a little piece of my heart dies. It's not a book for everyone, but it WAS a book for me—and I'm desperate to find someone who got the book and loved it to way I did.
