What book did you recently drop some cold hard cash on?

I’ll go first ! Rebecca Ross “Wild Reverance” (Finally got it at the library after many many weeks holding. Loved it and didn’t want to have to rush through it! My first romanatasy purchase)

Rebecca Wait “Cry Havoc” page turner mystery comedy that was random pic at the bookstore. It sounded too unusual to leave behind.

Both purchase at an Indigenous owned independent bookstore so I’m happy to support them.

P.s you don’t actually have to tell me anything P.p.s why they both happen to be Rebecca authors I only noticed much later. Also idk why but these UK women with masters seems to write amazing novels for my current mood reading.

How many books do you read at once? I tend toward one at a time for pleasure + textbooks. Recently, though, I am reading heavier material and therefore want to break it up with "lighter" books. What about you? More than one, or too hard to keep it straight?

How do y’all approach a playlist in a book (or when a song is listed at the beginning of each chapter of a book)? Do you listen to the playlist before/after reading the book (or chapter)? While you’re reading?

I don’t think I’ve ever listened to a book’s playlist, and I was surprised by how many posts I’ve been seeing in the forum for The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop about the playlist at the beginning - I noticed it, took a quick glance, and jumped right into the book 😅 curious to hear other people’s thoughts!

I wonder if someone else has this experience. After some automatic update, my e-reader lost a function I loved: export of notes and quotes in a .txt file for each individual book. Is it possible to do something about it? It isn't like I'm devastated, but annoyed: now, instead of export I got a drawing app (why?????).

What’s a book that’s been so hyped up, only to let you down?

For me it was The Ritual by Shantel Tessier. It was so overhyped on booktok, even on goodreads (when I still used it) i remember it having a 4 star rating. I was honestly so shocked once I finished it. That book had so many plot holes and questions unanswered, all spice basically, and even the spicy scenes were not cute (fmc was drugged for half of those scenes it felt like). This is when I learned to never trust booktok again lmao
