  • Recommend me books based on a song they remind you of šŸŽ¶

    **I mainly read classics and adult fiction, am open to crime and thriller, and don't really touch much fantasy or romance. But anything welcome for anyone.

  • Pride and Prejudice
    Pride and Prejudice screen adaptations

    Are we bigger fans of the miniseries or the film? At first I loved the film but I recently watched the miniseries and I realised how much they nailed the humour and characterisation. Now I fear the film slightly pales in comparison- it’s still enjoyable and has many merits but the miniseries is far more faithful whereas the film imo is trying harder to pander to what they think modern audiences want by leaning into the yearning and the romance. Lmk your thoughts.

    Hey, I'm new here and I'm so far loving the app but I'm curious about this counter with upward and downward arrow with each post. Can somebody tell me what this actually is about, like what'sthe purpose of it?

  • How many books do you have in progress at the same time?

    I was trying to update my status on a few books and realized I usually have more than one book going at the same time. Whereas before I used to be a person who could only have 1 going at a time.

    How many books do you have going at the same time?

    Mine:

    1. Physical book, or Kobo - my main read. The one I'll sit down with at home when I have free time.

    2. Audiobook (at work) - I have a really hard time getting into audiobooks but I'm experimenting with a few different styles, narrators, etc to find what I like.

    3. Phone, Kindle app - my ARCs on NetGalley, or Amazon First Reads on the Kindle app. I'm trying to get better at only requesting books I'm very interested in, rather than everything and anything that catches my eye. And I'm trying to read my first reads in the same month. So now once I'm caught up, this third book slot is out of rotation.
