    The writing in this book and the way it described just what it's like to be in an abusive relationship was exquisite. I will have to reread the physical copy of this at some point so I can highlight all my favorite quotes. (If I have time, I'll be back with more in-depth thoughts after I think on it for a few days)

    It was fine. Nothing spectacular but interesting enough that I listened within 24 hours.

  • May Readalong - Finding The Mother Tree, Suzanne Simard

    Happy Timezone!

    The results are in and Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard has been selected for our May readalong!

    Some reminders: • This is an unofficial readalong, meaning, there is not a badge awarded for participating - but participating will get you closer to a quest badge! • A readalong means mostly just knowing that a bunch of people are reading the same book as you at roughly the same time. • Use the book forums to engage in specific discussion about the book, and use this forum to discuss engaging with the quest, or bigger picture thoughts that come up not specific to the book.

    We'll "officially" run this readalong in the Month of May, 2026, but feel free to start early, join late, and in general go at your own pace! I'll personally plan on starting around May 1st, as library holds allow.

    I hope you'll join us! Happy reading!

    This was such an Alice in Wonderland coded retelling of Snow White. It was actually lovely.

    Bless T. Kingfisher for once again writing an over 30 character.

    (Before anyone comes for me, we don’t see that often for a femme main character in fantasy series)

  • Author Etiquette

    I've wanted to make a post on this for A WHILE, but how do you refer to authors during review and posts?

    While reading reviews and posts, I see some people refer to authors by their first names, others by their last names. It's made me quite conflicted on how to refer to them myself.

    But a pattern I've seen quite often is that male authors tend to be referred to by their last names, while female authors tend to be referred to by their first names. I wonder if I'm the only one who noticed this. Personally, I don't really think it's fair towards female authors. If you refer to an author by their last name, then you must do so for all authors no matter their gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, etc.

    Now, I just usually say either the author's full name, or just refer to them as "the author" in posts and reviews.

    This isn't EXACTLY what I'm trying to say but idk how to phrase it, but I hope y'all understand what I mean 😭😭
