It's so easy to add read books to my library that I'm finally adding all the books I could never be bothered adding to goodreads 😅
Suddenly I realised how many books I've actually consumed over the years

Heeello everyone,
What's one book for you that was an unbelievable letdown? I'm talking soul-crushing, frustrating, want-to-throw-the-book-across-the-room vibe.
Also, absolutely no judgement here!
Also also, spoilers (just in case)
I'll go first ~ The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd
I love mystery and I love maps (I even make maps for fun) and this book combined the two, with magic, and it had such a promising start as well. Until....for 80% of it, there was nothing but all exposition and treating the main character as if she were ten years old. And the 'love interest' was a d*** 😒. And there was no plot to speak of. I've never felt so drained after reading a book and so so so very disappointed.

Hey all! So I’ve been wondering this for a while: are Sarah J. Maas books worth the read? I’ve seen a lot of people on here and on Booktube rave about her stuff, but with the controversy surrounding her and my pickiness with the fantasy genre, I’m not sure if I’ll actually like her books. Maybe I just have book FOMO idk 😭😭 What are yalls thoughts?

An introduction to the Classics, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

A collection of the pilot books for popular series, for those of us who love to follow a character's journey for as long as an author will let us! Some of the below series have heavily debated starting points and book read orders--in those cases the pilot was selected based on what seems to be the most popular approach.

I'm new here so deal bear with me.
If you see my DNFs having reviews I just wanted to give a reason. I swear I'm not a hater, stay tuned for all my further yapping on books I love (there are a lot)
