There is readathon I'm participating in coming up, and I am getting most of the books through my local library (as is tradition), but one of the books is currently with another patron and not set to return until just before the readathon starts. Usually I would be like, "well, I have 8 other books to read that week, so I'll just hope the person actually returns the book and I get it that week..." but I get a little extra about this particular readathon (if you couldn't guess based on reading 9 books in that one week, aka my bid to knock out all of the 16 prompts).
Out of curiosity, I checked to see if this book was available at the major retailer nearest me (which usually doesn't have what I want in stock because it is a small location), and they have one copy! I planned to just go pick it up after work, but the weird thing is it is cheaper to buy it online and then pick it up than it would have been to go pick it up and pay in person.
So, my question is: what are some weird/strange/funny things that have happened to you in this online age of book buy?

Okay so I hope anyone can help me at all... I remember reading a book which I really liked but I just can't remember the name. It was about a group of women who wanted to pull of a heist on the Titanic? Like I think they were trying to steal some kind of jewelry or something? They had like different roles for everyone of them and I think I remember there being a kind of Jack and Rose ending between two of them? Again idk if anyone knows what I'm talking about or whether I just maybe dreamt about it... Please comment if you have an idea

What is the most unhinged book you've read in public?
I'm talking something you're embarrassed to have read it in public and try to hide it. I will definitely not be taking recs 👀

So i realised 7 of my 2025 read books are missing from my 2025 reading challenge. As its more than 350 books, manually checking and updating is a herculean task. So if i import my Goodreads once again, will it get updated? If i import it once again, will I miss all the updates I did here in pagebound?
I hope my questions are clear

hii, has anyone here read Les miserables, by Victor Hugo in french? directed mostly at people who don't have french as their mother tongue lol I was wondering how hard that would be? I know the book is very long, and I should have at max a B2 level (more like b1, but B2 is the final goal)

hi all!!
me and my friends are doing a reading challenge with prompts for the winter months, and would like some input/recommendations for a few prompts i’m struggling with:
for the last 2 prompts i’m specifically looking for recommendations for someone that doesn’t generally enjoys scifi or smut.
thanks in advance!! 💖

I'm really interested in the decision to narrate this book in a way where it feels like 3rd person omniscient but the narrator is also an old friend of the titular character but obviously wasn't around for most of the conversations and internal thoughts... I'm looking forward to seeing if there is a reason for this, and why this book made it onto the Feminine Rage quest.

I love the increidbly audacious plot and subplot of this sequel, with characters all swarming around, scheming and just trying to survive. I didn't see any of the reveals coming, and am excited for the next book.
