I want to read a cozy fantasy So here are my choices 1. A witch's guide to magical inn keeping 2. The irresistible urge to fall for your enemy. Which one should I read first?

Just a thought but I think it’d be cool if there was a way to create more personal reading goals on here, sort of like the reading challenge where you can see how many books you’ve completed toward your reading goal for the year. If there was an option to create your own reading goals, ex. read 3 adult murder mysteries or read a book about colonialism, I feel like it’d be a more holistic way of looking at your reading experiences instead of just focusing on the overall reading count. I know there are quests, but I think our own hopes for what we read are sometimes more specific and personal than what’s offered through there. Thoughts on this?

Not a debate but just curious to see how other readers approach reading. I generally read contemporary lit fic and have tried my hand at reading classics. I have really struggled to finish these books sometimes. I understand that it takes a while to get into them but I am always like, there are SO many other books I could be reading instead of this so I prefer to DNF. But people who love classics tell me I am missing out on a lot in life if I just let my mood guide my reading lol. I still think life is too short to read books you dont enjoy soo✨️😂 What's your take? Do you DNF occasionally? Rarely? Never? ("I WILL NOT LET THIS BOOK WIN") how do you make your decision? Are classics worth the effort and time? Tell me erryythinggg

With regards to the rumoured SJM's new book, I really don't want to ruin the vibe but let's hold authors accountable and not consume content from problematic authors. Never forget how SJM quite literally used Breonna Taylor's murder to do a cover reveal for her book. If youre truly desperate to read it, I guess you could consume it ethically (from the library/borrowing instead of spending money on them). But I still think consuming it is free publicity, especially if you still make content about it and continue to promote it on your page (booktok/booktube).

I don't know if it's my fault or a bug or something, but this year I've read 112/180 books for my reading goal. When I imported my data from Goodreads it didn't count all my rereads, so I made sure that it was up to date. At the time I had read around 106/108 and it was marked that I read 80/180 (on here), so it took me quite a while to fix it and I made sure it was at 106/180 before continuing. I haven't missed updating a book on here or Goodreads since, but now my reading goal on here Is 110/180 instead of the 112/180. I also can't seem to find the missing books on my goal. Am I the only one to have this problem?

I'm looking for recommendations of your favourite books set in non-English as official language countries (that was a complicated way to say not US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand). Any genre is welcome.

Is there a way to request quests? I'd love like a supernatural/vampire one but my page isn't loading any. Or is this a list kind of thing?

Assuming most of us here are adults, do you still read middle-grades? If you do, please recommend ones you think are worth a read even as an adult :)
