Mines would be #0513-#0683, Fairy or Dragon & colours include Black, Red and Blue (The Raven Boys). So I got: #0633 Deino

Do you mark books as finished if you read them as a kid?

When I was younger I read so much. My mom had this thing where every time I read 100 books I would get a prize, like going out to dinner wherever I wanted or something. So I would burn through books because of that haha.

I read a ton of Junie B Jones, Magic Tree House, Geronimo Stilton, and in middle school picked up fun stuff like Amulet, Bones, and even Babymouse. I think (can’t remember right now) I’ve added some books I read back then like a Wrinkle in Time, the Westing Game, Charlotte’s Web, and more. But it feels different from the other books I’ve mentioned for some reason.

I don’t remember a lot of individual books, I just remember loving them as a whole. Maybe I haven’t marked them as finished because I don’t remember them well. I’ve been thinking of adding those kid books but I’m not sure if I should re-read them first so it feels more valid to me.

I want to know your thoughts!

Hiiii I’m going through a rough patch and desperately need recommendations for light cozy fluffy happy escapist books to read. The cozier the better. Queer content is a plus but not necessarily required. 💜 Thanks in advance!

For real Kobako is absolutely iconic and I am obsessed with her. The author perfectly captured the personality of an aloof but secretly-loves-their-owner cat and now I want a spin off novella all about her

serial reader is a free app on ios and android that sends you chunks of classic books to read every day! as someone who is trying to read more classics (trying being the key word here lmao) this seems like it would be a good option to try out! has anyone used this before? how has your experience been?

eta: i've downloaded it on my ipad and the UI is pretty clean! so far i've subscribed to one book (the metamorphosis by franz kafka) and it looks each serial you get is 10 minutes of reading! you also know ahead of time how many issues one book is (9 for metamorphosis). to take notes and highlight you have to upgrade, which is $2.99, it seems to be just a one time purchase which i really appreciate! if you upgrade, you can add your own ebooks too. i'm gonna try it out without upgrading for a bit just to see how it goes and then i'll update if i do decide to upgrade 🙂‍↕️

edit number 2, electric boogaloo: i said fuck it and upgraded bc it's 2.99 and i need to be able to highlight

Today's prompt brought to you by my St Patrick's Day hangover (? it's tea, and chocolate coins 😄)

Pick a colour, green vs orange. Vote by suggesting a book with that colour cover. I know orange is harder but it can just include orange. You can vote for both if you want.

My votes 💚 - The Siren of Sussex by Mimi Matthews 🧡 - I was Born for This by Alice Oseman
