Hi y'all! This year is apparently the year of me trying new genres. And I actually read a Whodunit. The ending dissapointed be but I had a blast actually guessing and engaging with the book.

So I am wondering if you could give me ither Whodunit books.

The idea is that it's kinda like "Knives out" if anyone saw those movie. So an esemble of characters in one setting (a house, a village, etc.), where a murder happens and we follow along with the characters and unravel things at the same time.

Preferably I would like it without a supernatural twist, however I would also take a Whodunit that is established as fantasy. I just don't want to be suprised by it.

I am open for absolutly everything.

Thank you in advance ♡♡

So, what's the most amount of books you've got checked out of the library?

I've got 7 checked out, 15 on hold.

I’m flying to the other coast of the US today and spent a good amount of the morning planning out my reading. I only brought one paperback, managed to only buy one book- a record for me- once in the airport (Running for the Hills by Kevin Wilson) and have a ton of books from Libby and cheaply from bookshop.org cued up on my Boox (a type of ereader. I tried to include some fiction that takes place where I’m headed, Hawaii after a stop in California, and otherwise prioritized books I’ve been reading or have been on my tbr.

This got me thinking- how do you all plan out (or not plan!) your vacation reads?

I also like to try to visit an independent bookstore while I’m in a new location. Any recs for bookstores in Hawaii and LA are appreciated :)

Aloha Bookaholics!!

My question for you is... 🥁

What is the minimum point you aim to reach before DNFing a book? 🤔

I've noticed that a lot of people on this app seem to have three books at a time listed as "currently reading," which is interesting to me. Especially because these books often (but not always) look to be in similar genres. For me personally, I tend to only have one or two books being read, and usually, one is an audiobook while the other one is print (well, digital print). I might occasionally have a third book in progress if it's a completely different genre, but I can't imagine keeping five at the same time. I also feel like I'm more willing to "pause" or "DNF" books if I"m not engaged, rather than keeping them open for long periods of time. But I'm curious how others feel. How many books do you read at a time, and why does that work for you?

Am I the only one…

So I love PB and interacting with everyone on here but I have a hard time adding friends because apparently you can have social anxiety on an app… I’m always worried people are going think it’s weird if I add them as a friend without any interaction. 😬

I know the point is to add a friend so you can interact with them but my anxious brain doesn’t love that though process 😂🙈

Anyone else that like or is it just me?! (Please lie to me if you aren’t. The social anxiety above would really appreciate it)

I have a really good question, more out of curiosity, when it comes to Dnf'ing books I'm not really sure if I should or shouldn't or when to do it... How do you know when it's time for you to DNF a book??

I’ve been waiting like six weeks to get One Piece volumes 1-3 (while I’ve been waiting, the second and third collections came in and then I had to return them because there were other holds)

What are you impatiently waiting for?
