  • Bloody Late…

    How am I JUST NOW finding out abt this reading challenge now??? I’m such a massive Vampire fan! I scrolled through it & thankfully I’ve read a few books, but I’m so excited to see so many unread ones!

    Also, did any one else read “My Sister the Vampire” book series when they were younger? It was my very first vampire book, I think I was 10/11, but I recently passed it on to my niece
    What was your guys first vampire books?

    🧛🏼🦇🧛🏼‍♀️

  • Halloween Countdown! AHHHHH!!

    Bloody hell, where’s the time gone! (the blood, because it’s the blood… sucker… you got it) We only have one week left until Halloween ushers in the end of October 🧛🏼‍♀️

    How has everyone’s TBR goals been going and did you manage to read anything for the quest? If you did, what was your favourite and what would you recommend others try out? Will you try finish anything for Blood Suckers in the next week?

    I loved Hungerstone! Highly recommend if you love character studies focusing on female rage and self discovery, and highly recommend reading shortly after Carmilla!

    I am so happy I’d chosen The Cemetery Boys for the special event! Both Yadriel and Julian were so lovable and I learned so many new things about Día de Muertos and Latinx community in the USA.

    Maritza was a favorite 🙂‍↕️

  • Compare Overlap %

    Is there a way to compare overlap with another user? To me the intuitive action would be to click the overlap % button on another user’s profile, although that doesn’t currently perform an action.

  • How do we feel about ghostwriters?

    We had this discussion in class today, but I wanted to hear more opinions. How do you feel about ghostwriters? Is it acceptable to use a ghostwriter?

    I feel like it’s so accepted in nonfiction, but what if it came out that one of your favorite authors had a ghostwriter or a team of ghostwriters? How would you feel?

  • so i just found out about the kobo ereaders

    how did i not know these existed???? i desperately want one now, but i know i don’t need them 😭😭

    i primarily read on my phone, and it’s pretty convenient and easy. getting a kobo would literally mean more work and prep. but omg they’re so pretty and i could put stickers on them 😫

  • Desperately need good LGBTQ romance recs

    Hello! I need some good (relatively short under 390-400 page) LGBTQ romance recs. I am afraid I'm not going to reach my book goal this year, so I really need some suggestions. My favorite books are Red, White & Royal Blue and God of Fury if that helps. I love any kind of romance trope (except for miscommunication or cheating). Check out my page if you need an idea of books I've read or Dnf'd. Thank you all in advance lol

  • Reading status to none

    I see there’s a none option for reading status as well as the option to delete the book from the library. What is the purpose of using the “none option”? I’m assuming it keeps one’s posts, reviews, and other activity with the book, but what’s the reason to switch to none? Temporary leave from specific book updates because there isn’t a “hide book” feature?

    Just trying to press the boundaries of the app to see why things exist.
