  • Problem with reading list

    I woke up and the three books I've been reading don't appear like "reading". Is this a bug?

  • Website suggestion

    Hey all! Hope you're well :) Something I would love to be a feature is the option for custom shelves to be exclusive. An example of this would be if I made a shelf that said "Owned TBR", and I could add books to it that won't go into the standard TBR shelf too. The best way I can explain this is I have books I own that I still need to read (don't we all!), but there's also books I don't own that I want to read. In a similar website to this (rhymes with shmoodshreeds), I could create a shelf and keep both of these lists separate - it was ideal and kept myself organised and I could track what I physically own vs what I don't. I kind of used the general TBR as a wishlist, haha. It would be great if this is possible! Appreciate anyone who reads this and have a lovely day, everyone :) P.S. If this makes zero sense, please tell me and I'll do my best to explain it better!

    ā€œWhy is female vulnerability still only acceptable when it’s neuroticized and personal, when it feeds back on itself? Why do people still not get it when we handle vulnerability like philosophy, at some remove?ā€ Hmmm questioning myself and my own dislike of this book at this quote…

    The way all their arguments and important conversations happen in the booth while a song or adverts are playing for the listeners 🤣 imagine a tech malfunction and all of Baltimore can hear

    I'm looking for recommendations of your favourite books set in non-English as official language countries (that was a complicated way to say not US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand). Any genre is welcome.

  • About "A little life"...

    I'll admit, "A little life" being in the Quiet Novel category...is not exactly right for me 🤣 It's true that it's just, well, the normal lives of the MCs, but it feels so raw, so intense... it's not quiet at all to me. And yet...it has a strange calmness, a beauty to it, that makes me agree with its classification as a Quiet Novel.

  • Wind and Truth (The Stormlight Archive, #5)
    Thoughts from 90% (page 1203)

    I can't believe I'm going to finish the Stormlight Archive (Arc 1) today. It's been almost 6500 pages for me in total. I just know I'm going to be unwell no matter what happens. There are so many questions left to answer. Who will live? Who will die? Will Kaladin senpai ever notice me and let me play with his shoulder-length black hair that's described every single book and yet not one single person has run their hands through it? THESE ARE THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS, PEOPLE! I apologize for the posts incoming today

  • A category i never knew i needed

    I read Freedom by Jonathon Franzen when I lived in China because it was the only English language book that looked remotely interesting at the bookstore. I really enjoyed it and wanted to read more books like it but i had no words to describe it besides fiction. Excited to work my way through this quest woo!
