i might get my feelings hurt with this one because there are a lot of well known/popular writers that i really love and enjoy. i read a freida mcfadden book recently and was genuinely disappointed. i grew up on agatha christie and i generally really enjoy mysteries/thrillers, and its been so long since i've enjoyed a good mystery. unfortunately for me, the writing felt very simplistic(? idk if that's the best word for it) and did not impress me at all. yes, this is a risk we all run when taking opinions/thoughts from strangers online, but i'm wondering if there are any super hyped up authors that you didn't/couldn't like at all. (this is exlcuding any authors you don't like because they are problematic in some way or the other)

Edited to update: I have changed my username from pagesandpine to grassangels, thanks guys 🫶🏼

What is everyone’s thoughts on changing usernames, profile pics, etc?

I’m a gal who loves to curate certain vibes and when I feel like my profile doesn’t fully accurately describe me, I get real frustrated, lol. Do you guys get upset at new usernames or profile pics for people you follow?

Just asking bc I have mutuals in here that I really enjoy interacting with and I’m worried they’ll stop if I change my username lol.

I know this isn’t book related but it is PB related so I figured I’d ask opinions 🫣🫶🏼

I've been in a reading slump for a week now. Reason? Anime. 😭

I watched Yona of the Dawn last year and then The Apothecary Diaries this week.. finished it within 5 days. Now I can't stop, I'm watching demon slayer & Frieren now. I couldn't even read a single page this week 😰 and I'm freaking out.

But on the good side i think I just found out how amazing anime is 🤩 it all started with some animated series like Blood of Zeus and Castlevania. • So please recommend your favourite anime with a side of romance. (and also a book rec for reading slump)

PS: yona of the dawn season 2 is announced!!! I can't!!! 😭❤️‍🩹
