Hey folks! I was listening to music when I had an idea/question come to mind.

What is your favourite music genre? Favourite book genre? And do they have any correlation?

For example, my favourite my favourite music genre is punk. My favourite book genre is sci-fi (especially dystopian sci-fi).

Punk is very much a genre of awareness and resistance. Overcoming oppression through struggle and grit.

Not all sci-fi is like that, but the stuff I tend to gravitate towards usually has the protagonist working against the status quo in some way. It can be looser (like in Scythe, the world's status quo is still roughly the same, but the internal one is challenged) or more direct (The Hunger Games, for example).

So I'm curious if this is coincidence, or if there's a trend with this, so I figured I'd ask y'all!

Hello everyone! i have a few questions as regards how these things work, i've tried to find the answer in previous posts but couldn't find anything (at least with the key-words i tried).

So, question here: if I join a quest, but i've already read some of the books on the list, do those books count towards the quest count? Or does the book need to be "finished" after i join the quest?

#2: Can you abandon a quest after joining? I thought about joining one just to see what it looks like when you join but I didn't know if you could leave and i didn't want to commit beforehand

Now, #3: for Readalongs and Special Events, do we have to "join" like we do quests or just marking the book as read and participating in the book forum counts and you earn the badge?

I apologize if these questions have been answered already but I seriously couldn't find the answers in past posts. Thank you in advance!

How do you do it? My library often has the books I want as audiobooks with no wait, so I am trying to become someone who listens to them. Emphasis on the trying. Every time I try to listen I get so distracted by other stuff and miss whole chapters and important details. I think being able to listen to my books would suit my daily life and schedule a lot better, but I just can't seem to make it work!

Does anyone else feel that way?

What do you do when you're listening to audiobooks? How do you stay focused?

Edit: thank you, everyone, for the thoughtful comments. I will definitely give it another try with some books I've already read!

Hey folks!

Just wanted to hop in and say that I really like using the plan feature on the website, especially from an aesthetics standpoint and I hope it'll also be on the app when it drops.

Would it be possible to add a date section to the plan so we can visualise a little better when books are releasing during the month? At the moment I'm dropping back to other apps/websites that shall not be named (:P) to double check this and it would be neat to list it here somewhere.

Probably not as easy as it sounds from a dev perspective as the book publication dates are currently only listing the year but maybe it could be at the bottom of the no doubt, very long roadmap or to-do list if it isn't already :D
