  • Readers of the World, Unite!

    I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/ares (if they way, not pressure obviously). I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy). Try to find your country and join that thread! Everyone else?

  • Books that feel like early (new) Doctor Who

    I'm currently showing my partner Doctor Who for the first time and getting to really enjoy how Chris Eccleson's season nailed the balance of goofy to emotional while juggling such heavy themes. His Doctor did such a good job at being angry and full of grief while still finding all the light he can and I could really use that in today's world lmao I would loooove to hear anyones suggestions within any genre that feel similar. There's always Terry Pratchett, of course, but I'm hoping to hear some things I've not thought of!!

  • Rereading

    The other day I was discussing rereading books with someone - and it got me thinking. Do you reread? If so - which books do you commonly reread? I reread the Kate Daniels series (or basically anything Ilona Andrews writes) every year.

  • What makes you interested / disinterested in a book

    What are some tropes or storytelling decisions/concepts that have you immediately interested? And on the opposite, what are the things that you hear about a book that immediately make you go "no, not reading that" ? Generally, "there's dragons" will get me to read anything. Magic schools; elemetal magic; marriage of convenience in romance; a MC infiltrating the antagonist side and risking to "lose themselves" while doing it (actually, generally a FMC being unhinged); heroes struggling with what to make of themselves AFTER they've saved the world/defeated the bad guys; unreliable narrator ! all top tier to me. Love Triangles will kill any interest I have in reading a book. Too much smut; love interests alternating between threatening and flirting; miscommunication; I also struggle with generational stories because I don't like "abandonning" characters to follow another one

  • Books vs tv Shows

    I've just realised how different my taste in books vs tvshows are, so I'm curious: What are things you love to see in your shows but not in your books, and inversely? -I usually avoid tragic endings like the plage in my shows, but don't mind them in books (still do, I'm a happy ending girl through and through, but I wo'nt REFUSE to read something tragic) -I hate insta love in books, but I'll eat up a love at first sight with slow-mo in a show. -I'm not into contemporary romance at all, but I'll happily watch a million romance kdrama Or are your tastes similar across mediums?

  • reading 📚

    How did you get into reading? Was it something you've always done? Or did you pick up a book randomly and never looked back? What has changed since then? I started getting into reading around July 2023. I used to hate it because it reminded me of school and assignments. Then I discovered the world of romance books and I've been reading constantly since. It's also made me a quicker and better reader. Although since starting university, I've been correlating everything from my lessons into the books, so it makes my brain work overtime when I read a dark romance book 💀
