  • What got you interested in reading books in the first place?

    For me, when I was a child my parents gave me magazines for kids. There were short stories about folklore, funny comics, and more and my mother would read it for me. Before the audiobooks existed, my late mom's voice was my favorite ❤️ Since then, I've been growing up buying more books and when I looked back I realized that it's not just me who's always growing but my book collections too 📚🌱

  • Interested vs TBR

    How do you use these?

    I personally use the Interested for "maybe I'll read it eventually, if i have time/ I'm in the mood to read it" And the TBR for "I'll most likely get to it in my lifetime, and these are a higher priority than my Interested books".

    But I'm curious if others use it differently. 🤔 I for sure need to move some old ones I imported to the Interested category.

  • Convincing each other to read THAT ONE BOOK

    Inspired by a recent post by @LemonLime, share with us the one book you have been meaning to read for a long a time AND let us other users convince you to read it. You see a book you love here? Tell the boundling why they HAVE to read it asap. Do it in words, in GIFS, in quotes, however you want!

    Additionally: You can also share with us your no. 1 book you want to recommend to everyone + the reason, and someone might see it and FINALLY be convinced to read it. :)

    My book that I have been meaning to read for so long is The Will of the Many

    A delightful, very well crafted murder mystery.

    There's not much i can say about the characters and plot without giving things away that should be discovered while reading. If you like murder mysteries, this is a really well crafted one. Details matter in this story, and the author rewards you for paying attention and takes you through genre hallmarks with expertly placed clues, red herrings and a satisfying conclusion. Like any good murder mystery, the clues are all there for you to pick up, so that even if you don't put it together before all is revealed, everything slots into place without feeling like things were kept hidden from you for a plot twist out of nowhere.

    It's good to know going in that the writing style is deliberately bare bones to keep the focus on the mystery over atmosphere and strong inner lives for the characters. While I'd usually prefer rich atmospheric details, I think for this particular kind of murder mystery, the bare bones writing style actually serves the puzzle and works very well.

    A bit of a downside to the book's age (published in 1987) are era and culture typical, yet still disappointing roles for the female characters of the story. That is a valid criticism, but the era and setting must unfortunately be taken into account for that. Still, also a good thing to be aware of going in.

    I rate this book "eleven sides on a decagonal object"... out of 10.
