Hey there!

I am looking for fiction book recommendations that have chronically ill/disabled main characters. I myself have multiple chronic illnesses and am disabled and would love stories where the main characters overcome their circumstances despite their limitations. My favorite genres are fantasy, sci-fi and anything with a found family trope. Thanks in advance!

Okay so, Sunday and Monday I was in the ICU and then I transferred to the ”regular” hospital. I did not read anything during Monday. Because if I were not in the hospital, I would’ve read. I have a reading streak of over 2 years and I feel like I can keep the streak going. But I always overthink everything and I guess I just want some more opinions; Should I keep the reading streak or should I restart?

Edit; To be clear: for me, a streak helps me stay consistent, it doesn’t take the fun away from me. However I do know that’s the case for some people and I am not trying to say that a streak is like this huge-mega important thing and the only reason for me reading. I have ADHD, and streaks really help me to pick up a book everyday and stay consistent with habits in general. Because when I start reading, I love it! Just wanted to add that :)

Hello Boundlings! Hope you're having an amazing week! I have a question for you: does your IRL bestie read, and if so, what is their reading taste is like?

For me, my bestie does read! Although we are basically the same in everything—habits, clothing style, family relationships, school, literally everything—our reading tastes are COMPLETELY different. Polar opposites, really. I read in English, she reads in our native language (Arabic). I'm trying to get into reading Arabic, meanwhile she's trying to get into reading in English. I primarily read fantasy, thrillers, and romance (at least as a subplot), whereas she prefers horror, psychological thrillers, on occasion dark romance, and just anything really dark and bloody and has murder in it. I am quite the scaredy cat when it comes to horror, meanwhile she can read it with a straight face. I easily cry during emotional scenes, she doesn't even budge. I'm usually a fast reader, while she's a slow reader.

It's quite funny to me how such similar people can be attracted to such different books. I was wondering if anyone has the same experience!

hi boundlings!! 🫛🐝 there has been a similar post recently by @Allonsythornraxx, so pardon me if this sounds a bit repetitive! sooo, a few fellow PBs inspired me to make a bucket list of 100 books to read ✨sooner or later✨ (that's genuinely gonna be the name of my list lmao), so i wanted to ask for advice! the reason im making this post despite there being a similar one is that i didn't find many recs under it 🥹 so my question is, what's a book you think everyone MUST absolutely read once? it doesn't have to be a classic, but if it is id lean on the "digestible" ones more! and i can't read romantasy for the life of me (not straight at least) but other than that I'm open to pretty much any suggestion! i have a few in mind already, but I'd like to build this list based mainly on community recs 🫶🏻 hit me with your favourite book(s) or the book(s) that changed your life !! 🪻🔮

I don't usually ask for book recs on the main forum, but I thought I might for what I'm looking for, does anyone have any Fun, lighthearted, hopeful, optimistic book recs? Maybe short too but doesn't need to be lol. Just want a bit of a pick me up : )

I’ve been thinking about getting one but I’m not sure yet. Are they really worth it? I mean the books are cheaper on kindle (from what I’ve heard) but does it actually help you read more or is it just an occasional thing? If I get one I want to actually use it one than once lol

Are you adverse to DNFing? Did you have to read it for school or a book club?

My entire bookclub struggled through American Psycho, (thankfully it's pretty short.) One of the rare times the movie is better imo.
