can yall read at your job? i have two jobs. i bartend on saturday nights so obviously im not reading then but i also have a regular 9-5 in the social work field monday-friday. although i have busy days here sometimes there’s just absolutely no need for me to be here 8 hours a day so if my stuff is done… i read. i banged out a ton this week and since its friday i have basically nothing left to do (knock on wood… now that i say that it’ll be chaos 😭) but no seriously im hoping to plow my way through my current book today before i clock out. i even got an ereader so its more discrete (not that anyone would say anything, my stuff stays done but). but yea do yall read at work? if so, what days do you get the chance to read the most at work? fridays are usually pretty laid back for me.

sidebar: why does it feel more socially acceptable to be caught on your phone at work rather than reading? 😭😭

Hello! I'm on my manga grind right now! What manga have you guys read so far? Right now I've read, Yarichin bitch club, one piece, and im about to pick up blue lock! Whats everyone's favorite manga at the moment? Mine so far is one piece!

Hey! So thought I’d ask and answer a few general questions just so we can get to know each other!

1. Where are you from? - Wales, UK 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
2. Favourite book genre? - Thriller. 😨
3. If you had to recommend a boon to someone who have never read a book in your favourite genre? - any Claire Douglas or Lisa Jewell, they’re good and easy reads! 🤩
4. What’s your favourite reading setting? - I love to read once I’ve put baby to bed, the house is clean and quiet and I can peacefully read with a cup of tea and some biscuits 😋
5. What’s something you’d like to tell us about yourself? - I have a 3 year old golden retriever, a 3 month old baby girl and getting married in June! 🥰

How do you organize your physical book collection:

1. Alphabetically, by author's name
2. Genre and/or series
3. Spine color
4. Vibe/themes
5. Combination of above (what combo?)
6. Other

As I begin to build my own physical collection I'm weighing the pros and cons of how to organize them. What works for you?

hello fellow bookworms! while we clearly all enjoy reading now, did you enjoy reading as a kid for school? did you read all of the books assigned to you, or were you a sparknotes and prayer kind of person when it came to tests? what was your favorite and or least favorite book you read for school?

for me, i always read the books assigned in grade and high school because i liked reading and am a pretty fast reader. however i did read half of Frankenstein at 3 am in the bathroom the night before it was due when i was 13 (#ADHD). college was a bit of a different story, again thank you ADHD, but i at least tried to skim or read some of everything because i hated going to class unprepared. not sure if i could pick a favorite, but man do i remember hating Tuck Everlasting. couldn’t tell you why, but i think i dnf’d the last chapter out of spite.

love to all, thanks for all the fun discussions! 🥰🥰

Happy Wednesday, Boundlings! 💜

We are officially ✨halfway✨ through the Spring 2026 Readalong and today is the last day of the Cherry Blossom Festival Readalong! 🌸🌿🌸🌿🌸

What are some readalong ideas you think would be fun? What books would you include? What’s your dream readalong badge?? 😍

From the top of my 🗻 hill, with my last dying breath, I shout “Floppy little paperbacks are a superior to hardbound editions in every way!”

And “Keep your filthy movie/tv adaptation covers off my books! The OG cover is ALWAYS better than whatever capitalistic Hollywood veneer they slap on the front!”

👉🏻 All right, tag, your it!

Silly, serious, unhinged. Let’s hear them all! 📢
