Ciao Bookaholics!

How is everyone?

Im currently on an archaeology placement for uni and I recently read an Indiana Jones spoof romace book for a little bit of fun

I want to know....

Have you ever read a book related to your job/degree? And how did you find it? 🤔

After years of never having time to read for pleasure, my return into literature has been joyous. I’m feeling so accomplished with the reading that I’ve done and so inspired to take on more stories. However, sometimes I find myself disappointed by a book. I can be totally captivated by the plot but feel so much lacking from the actual writing. I’d really like to know others’ thoughts about the reading levels that exist within adult literature. Is this something that bothers you? How you do figure out if a book is the right “reading level” for you? Have you ever been disappointed or overwhelmed by the writing in a book that you thought was the right fit? Do you think this is even about “reading levels” or more about the talent of the author or individual taste in certain components of prose? How you do think the concept of “reading levels” fits into the complex relationship that a lot of people have with the trope-ification of many fiction genres? I’m so curious to see what you guys think!

What's a book that you wish had more content avaliable? 🤔

For me it's dinosaur horror. I wish there was more because there is such a good opportunity. Games exist, but I wished more books existed.

I also would like more books about obsessive artists. Like the film Black Swan and Whiplash. If you're looking for a rec like it Boy Parts by Eliza Clark is great.

I’m wondering what the general consensus is on posting in the forum of a book that is an Advanced Reader Copy(ARC). I normally avoid them, just in case something changes in the book. But I was thinking today what if I tagged the post somehow saying it was ARC? Or should I just keep thoughts to myself until it’s been released? Thoughts? ETA to correct spelling typo
