hi all!! i recently saw some discussion on streaks and mixed reviews on whether people think they should be public or not; on that note, if you are comfortable with sharing comment what your current reading streak is!!! mine is 61 🥰🫶🏻 (this is not meant to be comparative or disheartening for anyone, i just want to share in each others achievements!! whether you have a two day streak or a 20 day streak all should be celebrated ❤️)

I’m sure this has been discussed before but I couldn’t find anything when I tried searching 😅

I really wish people would take the time to look through the forum and see if there’s an existing post they can comment on for what they want to share rather than making an 8th post saying the same thing. Particularly if you’re at a plot twist or important part of the plot and it’s a relatively popular book, it’s pretty likely that there will be an existing post already. Maybe it’s just me, but the forums just get so clogged with these short reactions to the same part of the book and it gets tiresome to scroll through. The one for a book I’m reading now has over 10 posts at a particular plot twist that are mostly a variation of “didn’t see that coming,” “no way,” “I knew ___” and it truly could all be consolidated into one post with comments and then there would be less to scroll through later.

I don’t know if there’s a way to moderate this or remove the repeat posts — it doesn’t really seem like a content violation but a lot of the posts don’t really spark discussion or lend to forum engagement (as evidenced by people continued to make repeat posts saying the same thing) and it really clogs the forum, especially when it’s a more popular book.

I'll go first! I have two cats. One named Ruffles Cheddar and Sour Cream Potato Chips [my last name], The other, Special Agent Dale Cooper. We go by Chips and Cooper.

Chips is my sweet precious baby angel. I call her Tiny, Baby Cheepie, Keety Girl, Peep Peep, and Peeper (she does the tiniest little peep peep meows when she talks to you), and the Murterer (she gets very ferocious when she's frisky). There are a few others that aren't coming to mind, but those are the main nicknames. She is a 10yo (rare female) orange floof and she weighs 6 pounds.

Cooper is my whiny naughty velcro boy, and he is always up my butt. He does a lot of vocal yearning (for what, he does not know -- only that he NEEDS IT). His primary nicknames are Boo Hoo Baby, Woo Boy (inspired by the woo girls from HIMYM but with a whinier twist), Mommy's Bad Boy, Pooper, Corporate, Car Park, and Kyerp Yerp (those last ones are just me mangling his name on purpose, lol). He is 3 years old, 12 pounds, and a tuxedo (because of course he is). Chips tolerates his presence, much like a beleaguered older sister with a brother twice her size who keeps trying to test out WWF Smackdown moves on her. She'd rather be in her room, alone with her feelings and thoughts. 😂

I know it’s the south, but these women act more like 1950s Stepford wives than 1990s moms. And I was raised in the 90s in the south 🤨

Hi all! I sometimes find myself not agreeing with my initial rating of a book weeks, months, or even years later. I find that when the book has had more time to settle, my thoughts about it change, too. Usually I don't change my rating though; the only times I remember doing it, it was within a week of initially reviewing it.

That made me curious: do any of you ever change your rating of a book retroactively? If you do, does the amount of time between you initially reviewing it and you wanting to change your rating affect your decision to actually change it?

Also for clarity, I do not mean rereads! Just you thinking about the book at a later point in time and thinking you should have rated it higher/lower.

I just accidentally clicked on a spoiler and I hit that scroll button like my life depended on it. 😂😭😱
