Hi hello,

I have a small general question to pose for y'all - when do you call it quits with an author?

I'm not talking about cases where the author does something that puts you off, but rather their writing style/plot progression / etc.

I bring this up because there is a specific author who puts out books with such intriguing and fun premises (to me), but the two times I gave them a shot, I was greatly disappointed by the execution. So, I decided their books were probably just not for me. But every time I see one of their books and read the synopsis, I'm like "hmm, maybe I should give it another chance?" So I was wondering what you guys do in situations like these? How many "chances" do you give an author before you just accept that as much as you'd love to love their books, it's not going to happen T_T

When I added emoji to Hemlock & Silver, I wanted to choose a mirror emoji. (It’s a very obvious choice for anybody who’s read it.) There was no mirror emoji available.

But, I see that it is one of the overall emoji chosen by other readers. Why are some available or not?

(I previously had this happen with a missing 🩸)

what a RIDE these last two chapters have been. The most painful thing is to be an insignificant footnote in someone’s story, when they were the entire chapter for you.

Ok. I'ma little high right now. But hear me out. Jiang isnt the master of lore because he teaches old lore. He's the master of lore because he makes NEW lore 🤯🤯🤯

the poppy war? 👀

Hi everyone !

I cannot get the sparkly badge for the fall readalong and I do not get why.

I read Blood Over Bright Haven in March so at the beginning of the readalong, I commented in the forum so I could get the badge and make sure this one was done. Then I read Tender is the Flesh and the Spellshop in September, A Dowry of Blood in October and lastly, Don't let the Forest in, a few days ago. But no sparkly badge. I commented in a few posts in the forum of Blood Over Bright Haven but still nothing...

Anybody else has the same ? Did I miss something ?

Am I supposed to believe that on this farm, where they have ~one thousand cows, they milk BY HAND????

Maybe the title of the Quest could be updated to USA classics or something similar? America is a whole continent
