Imagine ,books didn't exist, and the power went off for 24 hours or more, and you lived in the middle of nowhere. No friends , nothing to play with outside , just a plain of nothing as far as your human eye could see . Edit: The sun doesn't do its normal thing anymore and rarely shines near you. The closest sunlight is 10000 km away. Sorry, I'm Canadian, and i dont know that in american

What would you do if you don't work , can't read , just the lights went out? Would you sit in the dark for 24 hours , sleep ? What would you do to spend the 24 hours or more in pitch black?

I personally would try to sleep because the sleep schedule is usually messed up thanks to reading or daylight savings or cats

Do people like my random questions to get people interacting with their minds and possibly other people

Sorry for making people think right away

I love reading about fantasy universes and realizing how dead i would be if it was true.

Hello friends 💗 I have been thinking about this for a while... LOL. We've all heard about reading in the bath, but now i come to you with this concept: reading in the shower. With the rise of cellphones and ereaders, I think it is actually possible to do this. Now my question is... has anyone read in the shower? How did you do it? If you haven't, how would you go about reading in the shower? Would you even WANT to read in the shower?!

My kobo is ALLEGEDLY waterproof (I don't want to test that 🥹) and my phone says it's waterproof (is it bad i care less about my phone than my kobo?) So technically i guess I could bring them into the shower??? But then how to page turn? A remote isn't waterproof... so how would one go about this...

So far I really like Ryland as a character. He is funny, endearing, and relatable. He is definitely dealing with this entire situation better than I ever would but he is still reachable. He feels a lot of things, has a great personality and he has some kind of spontaneity, a mix of knowledge and carelessness that brings life to the story. Navigating between his memories and his present situation in the ship is quite confortable, i'm having a great time so far !

if you feel comfortable sharing - what’s your favourite book from the year you were born?

thinking about this made me realise that mine is a bit of a blind spot for me, but i’m really anticipating sarah waters’ fingersmith!

another banger chapter. i started lying as a kid as a way to hide how dysfunctional my disorders were making me and all it did was create more shame, which exacerbated the dysfunction, which led to more lying, which made me feel totally isolated from everyone. for a long time i thought of it as a form of people pleasing - i want people to like me, so i tell them what i think theyd rather hear instead of the truth - but if im being honest (and i am this time!!), it can be a way to avoid accountability too.

its a habit ive been trying to break lately, for a variety of reasons, but a big one is because ive found that hooks is spot on about lying keeping you from making genuine connections with others. ive made so many great friends over the years and yet it often feels like no one really knows me. luckily im in a better place than i was when i developed this coping mechanism, so being honest isnt as difficult as it would have been back then. its still scary, don’t get me wrong, but the security that comes from knowing someone enjoys having me around despite my various flaws is worth a bit of terror.

Just spent my evening reliving my youth by playing Guitar Hero, specifically Warriors of Rock. (Gosh it runs terribly but that game will forever have a place in my heart)

Reading is my autistic special interest, and music - although I don't know much about the technicalities of it - is generally a big stim of mine; listening or singing along to my same favourite songs over and over.

Have you folks got any favourite books that have music as the key component to their plot, or just their vibe? Or simply just any good suggestions of the sort? 🎵
