Guys is everyone just in a reading slump now because I just made a post about being in a reading slump then realised there are lodes of other posts been made about people being in slump as well. I think it could just be the time of year lol but hopefully we will all get over it soon!

so one of my absolute favourite lore is the great tomato war, where one user posted in a forum that they read a book where one character ate a tomato like an apple, and they felt disgusted by that. it set off a massive “war” and it was hilarious to read. jennifer from pagebound even did a list based on that.

one lore i have just discovered today is there is an “user” called deleted. i was so confused. i saw that they got a level up badge today. i swore i saw one like 5 days ago. how the hell are they leveling up when i don’t see any activities or any books in their library? is it a user called deleted? or it was deleted but a glitch meant it kept gathering points? turns out that that is where all the points from deleted posts/comments goes to, into this one user called “deleted”. (unless i am mistaken???)

is there anything i missed? i only know those two!

eta: oh my god i was working and came back to so many comments! i will go through them and reply but oh my god so many entertaining lores! thank you ☺️

i have just seen an episode of starfleet academy when one of the characters literally ate a big tomato like an apple. 🤢 🤮

i am firmly in the tomatoes are really lovely, but i can’t understand people eating it like an apple. but… pizza? pasta? bruschetta? papaya salad? salsa? YES.

then i realised… how can one judge another if i have never tried it? so i gave it a try today.

and….

IT IS NOT RIGHT YOU PEOPLE ARE MAD FOR EATING TOMATOES LIKE APPLES YOU MONSTERS

edited to add: after 8 years of marriage i have just found out my husband likes to eat tomatoes like apples, what should i do? 😭😭😭

ETA2: eating a whole cherry tomato is FINE NOT BIG TOMATOES LIKE APPLES GODDAMNIT

ETA3: SOMEONE JUST STATED THEY EAD RED ONIONS LIKE APPLES THIS INSANITY CANNOT GO ON ANY LONGER

So in the middle of a 5 part series I get confused because the first part of the book feels like a badly done recap and I don't get much of the plot as if I have missed a book. So after some research I find out I need to read another trilogy before this book makes any sense. Why why whyyyy do writers do this... I do not object to read the trilogy, I have it, I just wanted to read on another topic first but oh well, pausing book again, getting back to it later.

Anyone else who has encountered this? I sewar, RPG-worlds with multiple writers can have so many issues.

What are your thoughts on using multiple tracking apps at once to track your reading stats? Yay or nay? Personally, I use four: Goodreads, StoryGraph, Pagebound and now Fable again. But I’m crazy

Kobako is my fave, she's so real, kobako doing her lil stetches and cat loafing everywhere, amazing, 10/10, no notes !

I mean, I chose the witch because I would love to be a witch, but I'm curious if that's the way other Boundlings choose across the board. (That said, I would jump at a dryad avatar.)

And for those of you who use the ghost or food/beverage ones... obviously this doesn't apply, right?👀

Currently trying to put together my March reading plan and I'm wanting to read a couple more quest books, and I'm just curious what other people's opinions are:

Would you rather work towards getting more new badges and keeping them at bronze until you've got all the quest badges you want, or would you rather work towards getting higher badges (sapphire/emerald/ruby) and just stick with fewer badges (for the moment) because of the higher tiers?

It's something I've been pondering for a while and I can't decide between them, on the one hand I love seeing so many badges on my stats page but on the other hand I have one sapphire badge and that is my pride and joy at the moment!

If you chose the anonymous route for your username, how/why did you pick what you picked??💭
