Hey Everyone, as you might have seen most of the Quests are doing unofficial readalongs for during the winter read-along. Is there interest for this quest too? It’s open to any book in the quest though I do think one that takes place in winter is great. So please consult the last two posts which discuss what books take place in winter/Christmas time. Please vote and then if you see the book you want please upvote that proposed book. Options are

1. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
2. Mystery in white by J. Jefferson Farjeon
3. Another little Christmas murder by Lorna Nicholl Morgan
4. An English murder by Cyril Hare

I absolutely adore the way this book is written !!

I'm spending my evening today cutting and glueing tons of paper to turn it into tiny book ornaments and miniature versions of my tbr pile, wishlist and books I've read this year and that made me want to ask: Have you ever done any kind of bookish arts and crafts?

This is How You Lose the Time War is one that's been recommended to me a million times and now... well, it's too much pressure. I'm sure it's great! I'll get to it eventually... probably 🤭

Are there books people say you'd adore that you can't quite crack open yet?

I'm usually not one to do something like this but I feel like there should be a space where people can get out all their feelings if they didn't like a book (or of course if you absolutely HATED it) so tell me... What's the most recent book you disliked and why? Spill the tea my friends☕️ And if you feel like it, share a book you'd recommend over reading that one! Please be civil and friendly!!

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's okay to read at your own pace, whether you read 10 books a month or just 5 a year, that is okay💜 Lately, I've noticed on TikTok people hating on those who read 50 books a year and I'm like ¿? Because yes, I, personally, don't read 50 books a year, but one of my closest friends was able to read more than a 100 this year after years in a slump and I'm extremely happy for her. But I saw videos of people saying "But are you actually reading? Understanding? Underlining paragraphs? Making annotations? Analyzing what the author is trying to...?" NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THAT, YOU JUST NEED TO ENJOY YOUR BOOK AND LET OTHERS ENJOY THEIRS.

WARNING: This doesn't apply to people who asks AI for a summary of the book and then counts that as read, this is NOT a safe space for you and I don't like you, you're not the people I'm talking about in this post, shoo!
