Any recommendations for sad ending books? Or heart wrenching? Warming plot that melts your heart? I'm in the mood to cry. I know it sounds silly but well I'm in a luteal phasee 😭 Thank you so much! 🩷✨

Not for me. And I am already reading one book I am not vibing with, I don't want to push through 2.

Brainwyrms
Alison Rumfitt
From Alison Rumfitt, the author of Tell Me I’m Worthless — “a triumph of transgressive queer horror” (Publishers Weekly) — comes Brainwyrms, a searing body horror novel of obsession, violence and pleasure. When a transphobic woman bombs Frankie’s workplace, she blows up Frankie’s life with it. As the media descends like vultures, Frankie tries to cope with the carnage: binge-drinking, fucking strangers, pushing away her friends. Then she meets Vanya. Mysterious, beautiful, terrifying Vanya. The two hit it off immediately, but as their relationship intensifies, so too does Frankie’s feeling that Vanya is hiding something from her. When Vanya’s secrets threaten to tear them apart, Frankie starts digging, and unearths a sinister, depraved conspiracy, the roots of which go deeper than she ever imagined. Shocking, grotesque, and downright filthy, Brainwyrms confronts the creeping reality of political terrorism while exploring the depths of love, pain and identity.

Hi! First club post, but I’ve been thinking about book-to-screen adaptations recently, and I got really curious. I’m sure a lot of people on here, as book enthusiasts, often prefer the book to the movie (myself included) because a casualty of filming can be cutting details and missing minor plot points, etc. A lot of adaptations are known to irritate book-lovers for not capturing the source material the way they were hoped to.
So, on the positive flip side, I was wondering; what’s everyone’s favourite film/tv adaptions of books they’ve read? And does anyone have an outlier where they actually enjoyed the movie/show more than the written source?
I do really like Del Toro’s Frankenstein (2025), because thematically, I think it was good (compared to most Frankenstein media anyway)! And I have one movie I liked more than the book, and that’s for The Fault in Our Stars (2014) when I watched the movie as a teen after reading, as I just found it more enjoyable. My own personal opinions, but made me wonder if others had any!
woo!!!
i just ordered the boox go 6 brand new unopened off of ebay for $150. i'm literally so excited (i won't have time to read bc of college but that's okay!!!) i've wanted a boox for months but they're sooo expensive... i really hope i love it!
curious if anyone else on here has the go 6? if so do you like it/have any tips?
