Sometimes I like to scroll through the user pages to try to find new people to follow, and so far I think the highest amount of overlap I've ever encountered was around 30%. Curious, how much overlap have you guys had with others? 👀

i like the idea a lot more than the execution.
good points: shows misogyny in work environment, talks about some environmental issues caused by humans
bad points: the characters were boring and too cliche, the romance isn’t really convincing, it’s too much like a caricature (but not on purpose i believe)

this is a game my friends and I play lol so let’s say we’re talking tropes, if you’re above enemies to lovers that means you don’t like it. If you’re below enemies to lovers it means you do like it/not bothered by it!
so give me one thing about books that you’re above/ below!
I’ll start: I am above dog ear-ing pages (sorryyyyy) and below no quotations being used 😳
I’m excited to hear hehe

helebm commented on midnight_ruffles's review of Delilah Green Doesn't Care (Bright Falls, #1)
I liked the romance and the spice of this book. Delilah and Claire had a lot of chemistry which I enjoyed. But the relationships with the other characters felt forced. I’m not a fan of the miscommunication trope and even when it was brought to the open, it still kind of just festered a little with no resolution till the end. It was a nice read. I kind of hoped for a little more though.

I've just realised that I have a few favourite buzz words and when they are in the title (or description/a review) of a book, I will be way more likely to look to see if I want to add it to my tbr.
Now I'm curious if anyone else has this and what your words are? Also, have you had some wins when choosing purely based on a favourite word? Or some duds?
My words are; bones, book, door & anything to do with plants. (and special shout out to the word 'weird' - if i see this in a review specifically, i will be adding that book to my tbr)

Hi, I thought I would start Who’s Who Wednesday. A place where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves, make new friends, and follow each other. So whether you’re new to the app or you’ve been here a long time, tell us about yourself.
I’ll go first.
My name is JadeLovesBooks. I have read 142 books this year. I don’t have any reader friends in real life. I hate cooked carrots but raw carrots are fine. I like to roller skate. I have a border collie mix named Kali.
Nice to meet y’all!

Hello readerss!! Ive got a question for all my people whose first language isn't English - which books do you read more of: the ones in your language or the ones written in English? By the ones in your language i also mean translations, not only by authors from your country
Im really wondering cause lately ive been into reading the english ones and i find it really fun - the beggining of every book is pretty weird, cause its getting into reading in English, but after like 50-100 pages i feel like im starting to fly through it💪🙈 do you also feel this way?
