    she’s already so insufferable thank god (Him?) for unlikeable main characters it makes for juicy storytelling

  • Multiple failures... will try again

    A different post in this forum reminded me... Does anyone else have a book that they've attempted to read multipe times and still continuously fail to get through? For me and obvious one is War and Peace just because it's such a brick. A newer one would actually be The Will of Many, I've tried a few times to get into it and then at about 100 pages in my brain just shuts off.

    Or more happily: any books that you read once a year happily? Like a ritual read?

  • Happy Distraction Reads

    My mind is reeling from unexpected scary medical news. What are your favorite comfort reads? I’m talking something I can read that will send me to sleep (in a good way) I can’t turn my mind off and I’m exhausted

  • We Listen & We Judge

    What's your most diabolical reading flex?

    Mine has to be reading spicy audiobooks without headphones.

    Now hear me out, it's only in the comfort of my own home. In public, headphones all the way (obviously 🤣)

  • Ideal airplane reads

    I'm finally going my honeymoon... three years later! I lost my job one month post-wedding so it was postponed. Me and my wife will be going to Italy later this year and looking at a full travel day to get there. I have an inability to sleep on planes, so my Kobo is my lifesaver.

    When reading on an airplane, what is your ideal book lineup? Specific genres? Books about travel or your destination? Ideal lengths of books? A mix?

    I love a good romcom on a plane, as well as novellas.
