This year I have been utilizing TBR prompts to help diversify my reads. I wrote a bunch of different prompts on slips of paper and then every month I pull a few and try to find books that fit the description. Super fun but also can be taxing if you’re not in the mood. I took off two months from utilizing prompts (since I used up all my prompts for the year) and I’m ready to get back into them.

Please share fun TBR prompt ideas! I am low on inspiration and would love to find some more small authors/less popular books in my search.

Examples include “read a translated book from another country”, “read a book where the Mc has a hallmark type job”, “a book with a color in the title”, etc.

I’d love to hear more perspectives on:

1. why you follow someone else on PB and
2. what types of interactions you typically have

I tend to follow people who have similar taste in books and/or a library that I can yoink from! I also pretty much 100% follow back anyone who follows me. I absolutely love following others that reciprocate likes/upvotes/comments.

For interactions, I ♥️ most of my friends’ updates and tend to comment on bigger milestones (leveling up, badges, etc.) unless they do not interact with me in that way. I don’t want to be a bother if someone else doesn’t find value in likes or upvotes, or doesn’t comment on others’ posts.

But then I sometimes get sad when I see users who follow me interacting a lot with others, but not me. If not friend, why friend-shaped?

So, what about you? Are you more of a yapper and not a liker? Does it hurt your feelings if someone follows you and doesn’t interact? And then what do you do - nothing, block them, or unfollow?

Anyway, I realized hearing perspectives and experiences from others could help give me insight into how we each utilize the “friend” portion of PB. As of right now, I’m only limited to my personal experience! Thanks for your thoughts. 💗✨
