Hello everyone!! Just popping in here to remind everyone, but especially my fellow european boundlings to take extra care of yourself during this very extreme heat wave rn and the next days ‼️

And i don't mean drinking enough water, and sitting in the shade of a tree. I mean stay inside during the day, don't take the temperatures lightly and push yourself to work out or go for a run, try to reschedule them to the early morning hours or later in the evening if necessary. Cancel appointments or dates if you don't feel well. Try to minimise your daily activity to the bare minimum and only things necessary! Heatwave's should get treated like s snowstorm, bc it's nothing else than an extreme of the other end of the scale.

The temperatures we're currently experiencing are seriously no joke, people DIE bc of heatstrokes every day. People in central europe are not used to this conditions, our daily life is designed for colder temperatures, our buildings don't have integrated cooling systems and most private households don't have AC. These temperatures in central europe feel different from the same temperatures in other usual warm countries and regions.

Take care everyone!! 🫂☀️

Europe is currently getting hit by an extreme weather situation, scientists call "the omega situation". Warm air masses are getting firmly trapped between two cold air masses on each side, which leads to a very stable and long holding heat over central europe atm. These week the temperatures are rising over 40°C (104°F), which is a new heat record documented for these time of the year.

How are you guys in the UK protecting your books in this heatwave?

I'm noticing a couple of my books are becoming curly and sticky. I'm keeping my curtains and windows are closed, but in true UK fashion it's not working 🤣

hii, so i am pretty sure i remember cinderella is dead being in this quest over a month ago. however recently i've noticed it isn't in this quest anymore, and i am wondering why? 🤔 do i just remember it wrong or has it been removed? and if yes, why? 🥲 i was really excited to read it as part of this quest 😭

This book feels like a deep dive into seemingly random historical events, and by the time I've almost forgotten what the book is actually supposed to be about, the gay person the chapter is centred on is introduced rather rushed towards the end. And most of the time, I still don't really understand why this person is considered a "bad gay." Will this get any better after Chapter 8, or can someone assure me that I won't spend the rest of this book feeling like I'm listening to my history book as an audiobook?

Hello pagebounders!! Well, I've come across a lot of videos recently talking about the cons and pros of BookTok and Bookstagram. But what I want to know is, in your opinion, does it do more harm than help to the book community? I think for me since I'm only in Bookstagram it doesn't really harm the book community since these kind of people are not very popular there however I've seen a few. However I don't know how it is in Booktok, can someone tell me??
