I have been tortured over the books that I've chosen to display my taste in reading ever since I created my profile, and I'm guessing that others probably have this issue too?

I read so many books of so many different genres that it feels like a military strategic endeavour to try and narrow it down to 5 books, I've tried keeping it to my favourite in each genre but even then I love more than 5 genres and choosing which genres I favour the most is difficult.

I've seen some people's profiles who have books that I loved showcased as their favourites and it's made me stop and think "I love that book! Why don't I have it selected?"

And it kinda feels like I'm lying to people who look at and follow my profile because I haven't got the most accurate books to describe my reading tastes.

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone happy with their chosen books? Anyone have any advice for picking your favourite books?

please please i need a true enemies to lover book, i feel like every book ive read that says it’s enemies to lovers is basically rivals to lovers. i need LOTS of tension and yearning with great world building and plot driven!

ideally would love a completed series but wouldn’t mind starting an incomplete series IF it’s good!! (maybe nothing more than 5 books HAH)

in different on the smut tbh, its there then that’s great and if not it’s ok!! i just like it when the smut adds to the plot vs just feeling like filler

I think it's a bit weird, and I wonder if the author approved of it, that the information about who Grey really is, is given in the summary of the book 🤔 Anyway, Grey's and Kier's relationship is still giving 👌🏻

February is one of my biggest book release months to look forward to. I’ve got a few on my radar:

• The Red Winter by Cameron Sullivan
• Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett
• Hallowed Be Thy Name by Brooke Winters
• The Resurrectionist by A. Rae Dunlap
• Weavingshaw by Heba Al-Wasity

What releases are you looking forward to in February?

I’m working on a list of fantasy romance books that could be considered Romantasy, but we’re published from before the coin of the term Romantasy.

Any recs?

I recently picked up a book with a fantastic premise and was dismayed to find it was full of orthography and grammar mistakes 😭 Each mistake ripped me out of the story and I only finished it because the story was gripping. In the end, it did affect my rating because the enjoyment just wasn't there...

Mistakes happen, and with self-published books it doesn't bother me but in this case the book was published by one of the biggest publishing houses in the country. In my opinion, it's disrespectful to the author who was expecting editing, as well as the reader who is encouraged to buy a copy only to find it full of mistakes.

Having seen the book industry from the inside while also being a reader, I noticed the shift from 'we publish books' to 'we publish content' 🤔

Maybe I'm old for expecting correct grammar in my reads 👵 but I still think we should maybe slow down and perhaps not publish 20 books in a year that were rushed through editing, and instead focus on properly editing 10?

I'm curious, what do you do when you find yourself reading a book full of grammar mistakes? 👀 Continue or stop reading?
