I love reading all genres, but my favorites are fantasy, horror and cozy mystery/holiday

    It's coming up to my favourite time of year....Hallmark Season!!

    Now I'm a horror/high fantasy type of gal, but as soon as October hits I just want to dive into the cheesy, cozy, predictable, sickeningly sweet worlds of Holiday Romances. I have the hallmark channel on 24/7 once November hits all the way to Christmas Day. I would LOVE to know some of your favourite must read holiday romances, the cringier and cheesier the better. If I get enough recs, I'll make a list of them all so anyone who wants to see them can, or if you already have a list, I'd love to follow it!

    KU vs mood reader

    I bought Kindle Unlimited for the second time and tried reading only from KU ! 😬 But i couldn't read anything after one book..

    The first time i got the free trial, it was ok, i could actually read entirely from KU bc I was out of reading slump and was so excited to anything and everything.. but this time it almost pushed me into a reading slump!!!!! I never thought being a mood reader can be this challenging. Now I cancelled my KU subscription and just started reading something I'm actually interested in!

    Have you ever faced anything like this? Any mood readers here? - Tell me about the weirdest thing that happened to you.

    Okay, I'm on the second chapter and I think it might actually be too much like Gilmore Girls because I'm literally picturing the actors as the characters

  • what book would you want to be adapted into a movie/tv show?

    fun little question for y’all: if you could choose one of your favorite books/book series to be adapted to the screen, which would it be and why?

    follow up questions to that: would you want it to be a tv series or movie/movie series? animated or live action? and for extra fun, who would you cast for some of the main characters as actors for a live action, or voice actors for animated?

  • Only one posting in a forum

    I’m currently reading a book that has reviews, but no forum interaction. I’ve already posted like 3 times. I think im starting to feel a little self conscious. At the same time, it’s fun and I like seeing my thoughts out in the ether. 😅 Does any one else feel weird when they are the only one posting? 😆

  • Favorite book that embodies feminine rage?

    I support women’s rights and wrongs, what’s your favorite story that has to do with feminine or female rage? I’ve read Hungerstone, They Never Learn, and a few others. I have Poppy War on my list to read. Anyone got book recommendations for a lady angry at the world? 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️

  • First book boyfriend?

    Who was your first book boyfriend and where did you find him? Did you find him in the depths of KU or did you find him on the covers of a penguins publishing co book?or If you're like me, you found him on wattapad. My first book bf was Blake Eaton from the book "i sold myself to the devil for the vinyls, pitiful i know". He was everything and more I could ask for, still one of my top book bfs of all time🥺🫶 So, who was yours?

  • Readers of the World, Unite!

    I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/ares (if they way, not pressure obviously).

    I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy).

    Try to find your country and join that thread!

    Everyone else?

    Audiobook: I haven't read any of the other books in this series so I'm not sure why I started with this one, but it was super sweet. I love a Holiday Romance (especially Christmas!), I love a cozy mystery, I love a short and sweet book and I love a great audiobook narrator. This also made me cry quite a bit as someone who just lost my nan who I was very close with and we also loved and had many Christmas traditions...this was just everything I needed leading up to a difficult season. I loved it.
