    Story behind your username ✨

    Hey, beautiful people 💫 After that post I made in the forum I felt so surprised to see so many people relate to my situation, and it was overwhelming (in the best way) to feel everyone's support and understanding. So I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to give me a little uplifting, it really made a difference.

    This made me think that we really are a community of dear anonymous friends, who support each other through the love of books. Which led me to this thought: There are so many beautiful and original usernames... What's the story behind each one? (except for one_crazy_eliott, I think I understand the reason behind Mr. Crazy's username 🤭🤭🤭)

    So, if you feel comfortable, share the story behind it. I think it will help bring us closer and keep everyone's anonymity anyway.

    I'll start: The OGs know I started PB as fantasy.betareader but decided later to change my username to Pipsy to help me feel more connected here. This is a nickname my sister gave me when I was 3 or 4 years old, and it stuck until today. My whole family calls me by it, my friends, my teachers, my bosses, etc. Even on my passport, my signature says Pipsy. So that's basically my name 😊

  • Unproblematic authors recs

    Hi! First off, love this app and community!

    What I enjoy most are mystery/thrillers, fantasy and dystopian stories; even better if they have plot twists you really didn't see coming BUT actually make sense 😫 What I like when I read is:

    1. Being hooked from the beginning
    2. Being surprised at the end

    Now here's the twist. Do you have recommendations of authors that are NOT: racist, sexist, zionist, homophobic, fraud, sex offender, transphobic, and/or with a shady past?

    Because OMG 👀

    Be honest, am I asking for too much? 😆

  • pjo reread

    i’m getting the urge that reread the pjo (percy jackson) series for the umpteenth time, when my tbr seems to be never ending. i know y’all are enablers (affectionate) and are gonna tell me to just go ahead and do id and i probably will but i just wanted to discuss rereads/how often you think is acceptable to reread books? my excuse for this reread is a) i never read the Trials of Apollo books and i need a refresher on the rest and b) i’ve never annotated my pjo books 🏛️

    Enjoyment: 2.0Quality: 2.0Characters: 1.0Plot: 1.0

    I REALLY wanted to enjoy this book but it was just lacking in too many areas for me. The plot was weak, characters infuriating, and needed a severe trigger warning for EDs. Overall I found this unsatisfying across the board.
