ALEXA PLAY RUN AWAY WITH ME BY CARLY RAE JEPSEN

I've just started tracking my reading and books and hope it is a long lasting habit.

I am wondering, what is the difference between 'interested' and TBR?

happy disability pride month! this month is for all disabled people to celebrate the uniqueness and fights for liberation for disabled people across the world, and to support your disabled friends and loved ones.

i thought i'd share my personal recommendations of books to read for disability pride month, so here they are below (both fiction & nonfiction)

• disability visibility and disability intimacy by alice wong • against technoableism: rethinking who needs improvement by ashley shew • godkiller by hannah kaner • the viral underclass: the human toll when inequality and disease collide by steven w. thrasher & jonathan m. metzl • get a life, chloe brown by talia hibbert • i'll look so hot in a coffin: and other thoughts i used to share about my body by carla sosenko • being heumann: an unrepentant memoir of a disability rights activist by judith heumann • the sign for home by blair fell • silver nitrate by silvia moreno-garcia • iron widow by xiran jay xhao • the invisible kingdom: reimagining chronic illness by meghan o'rourke

please feel free to put down any others you recommend!!! :D happy disability pride!!!

i just recently made a shelf for all my beach reads, and it made me realize: is “beach read” a completely subjective category? is it just books about the beach? is it a beach read if i read it on a beach? are beach reads fast-paced, slow-paced, somewhere in the middle?

what do you guys think are the best beach reads? taking recommendations as i am, of course, currently on the beach.

Is that there is so much pressure on picking your next read!

I just finished The Starving Saints and it felt like it was created in a lab for me, like it had everything I could possibly want in and from a book in it. I have so many books I want to read and in my TBR pile but I have no idea what to read next after finishing a book I loved so much.

i’m back with a weirdly specific book rec ask because life sucks and its numbing to deal with.

i wanted to ask if anyone knows any books that deal with loneliness even when surrounded by people, dealing with people who never show up for you even though you give your all to them? I’ve been going through a really rough time- feeling so alone with no one who’s truly on my side. so i bottle everything up so i can just…..be what they need me to be. perfect daughter, friend, older sister. and at the same time, i’m grieving the loss of my true self and i feel like im slowly becoming the shell of who I once was. it hurts and im drowning with no one around to save me. i have to save myself.

i know this became a bit of a rant but, i was wondering if anyone had books with a similar situation or that helped them get through a similar situation. hopefully i can read them! with how horrible life is atm, I’ve been in a huge reading slump which sucks but I hope to get better.

and if anyone else feels like this, at least you know you are not alone anymore ❤️‍🩹

EDIT (04/07): thank you, thank you for all your recs and kind words 😭😭 i’m trying not to cry at work today but you all are so kind and heartwarming, makes me believe that maybe people can be in your corner. all your recs have been added to my tbr and interested tabs!! thank you once again ❤️‍🩹

I've been using PB for almost two months now, and the number of books on my shelves have gotten to the point where my feed has become overwhelming. I'm thinking I'm going to need to mute some books in order to limit the number of new posts I see every day, but it feels weird to just decide to stop seeing posts for books I've read or want to read (even if I really hated the book). So I thought I'd ask the community. Do you mute books from your feed, and if so, how do you decide which to mute?

Where are you reading today?? I’m cozied up on a pontoon in a lake chilling under a sun shade with a nice breeze reading There is No Antimemetics Division. Share your reading vibes this weekend!

And a Happy 4th of July and America 250 to all my US friends! 🇺🇸 🦅 ❤️ 🤍 💙 🥰

Hi everyone!

I recently bought an omnibus, The Realm of Fae Marked series by A.J Knight. It's five books, and I was wondering how would y'all log this? Would you log each book separately and count it as finishing five books? Or would you log it as the collection and count it as finishing one book?

Also, is it intimidating for anyone else when starting a big book? These five books put together make this book 625 pages!! GOD DANG! I'm excited, but intimidated at the same time. 💀😂
