hey PB! (peebs) i was just curious... how long do you tend to wait before starting a new book?

i was asked this recently and while i jump into the next one as soon as i've got the time, my partner said she has to sit and let it simmer first before taking in a whole new realm/plot/etc!

and for my fellow peebers that read So Many Books simultaneously, this question goes for you too!

had the most random thought ever omg 😭 as a big kdrama & book fan, I was wondering: is anyone else a kdrama watcher? if so, what books remind you of or would you compare to some kdramas? like, they give off the same vibe or if you enjoyed one, maybe you’d enjoy the other? just randomly curious.

i can’t stop thinking about if hell looks the same for everyone in this iteration or if alice is seeing a specific type because she’s a PHD candidate and because she goes to cambridge. Does somebody who dropped out of high school and dies with a laundry list of actions that would land them in hell also have to write these dissertations? Or does the action of repentance look different for them?

Surely, a dissertation is probably the best action for hell (because i would rather die (again, hypothetically) than write a dissertation) but it all seems like a very elitist way of viewing the cosmos — even here, those that can afford grad school are inherently (seemingly, at least, by the very virtue of having greater experience with it) at an advantage. Classism won’t leave you alone, even in hell.

Hi everyone! So I kinda have a minor, (okay major) obsession with DnD and dimension twenty(shoutout drop out fans). Cause of this I was wondering if anyone had any book recommendations that either like had DnD in it or have a kind of DnD vibe or dimension twenty vibe to it?

hey all!!

i was just wondering if you ever go back and change ratings from books you read a while ago? i personally gave a lot of books at the start of my reading journey very high ratings, that i would never rate that high anymore, but changing it feels wrong? in what cases do you go back to adjust your rating? do you change your rating/review when an author gets cancelled? etc.

curious to hear all your thoughts and opinions about this!

You can check out what the people you follow are reading and their progress under Discuss on web! Is this a new feature?! It's pretty cute and concise way to check what others are reading. I like it!

Does anyone else get distracted while reading - not by your phone or anything, just your own brain? 😅 I’ll read a whole page, realize I absorbed none of it because I was thinking about literally anything else. Or I’ll start skipping lines and feel guilty for skimming the page for dialogue.

How do you stay mentally present when you read?
