Guys I just came from the bookstore and I bought new books but I still have quite some on my tbr at home and I kind off feel guilty but also not because I love books but sometimes I just keep on buying books aaah anyone has this feeling too when getting new books?

Hey so my sister is 12, turning 13 on october and want to start reading but idk what to recommend if you have recommendations for books you enjoyed at that age or books who are appropriate for kids id appreciate them !

Subjectively, obviously. But I find myself struggling with giving books ratings because sometimes I really enjoy books that aren't that groundbreaking, and other times books that have a really good style have such a bad plot I just hate them. Today I realized tho my personal measure for whether a book's good in my opinion is whether I feel like rereading it. Finished a book yesterday with conflicted feelings and realized I dont wanna reread it as opposed to the last few books which I gobbled up and reserved permanent spaces in my shelf for :D

After having a really good conversation with a coworker/friend it got me to thinking. Why do you read? Do you read to escape (that's me), for pure enjoyment (also me) or to better educate yourself/learn something new?

picked this for a book club after seeing some good reviews online so im hoping it holds up!

Not sure if there are any crafty friends here, but if so I’d love to hear of any cute book crafts you’ve done! I’d really like to make a book character Guess Who game 😂 I think my fave “craft” was making my own mini books to fit in this tiny little library my sister got me (the ones you shake to knock the books off the shelves). The books were SO small (less than an inch!), but it was so fun to make the cover spreads in Canva, cut and fold them, and then make the foam cores to go inside. I love using tweezers to put them back on the shelves (in series order, of course), and it’s nice to have “copies” of books or series I don’t own, like manga or webtoons I’ve read
