I will delete this post if this is not the right place to ask this. How do you find people to do a buddy or group read with here? Where would you ask?

I really want to reread Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, but I really want to do that in company, I want to discuss and share thoughts.

The only way that I came up with was to post in the book's forum if anyone would like to team up and read and share thoughts in the forum at the same time. But I'm not sure if that's the way to go.

So, how do you look for a buddy to read with on here?

So in my last book a character popped up that shares the same name with my husband and his name is not common. So now, when that character is mentioned I see my husband and not however the character was described lol.

Does this happen to anyone else? Once someone’s name you know is used you just envision that person in your book no matter what? 😂

Book 2 comes out very soon and I’m not sure this character will be in book 2 but it’ll be funny if he’s in the entire series. I think he’s like a young white teenager and my husband is a black man in his 30s 😂😂😂

Brains are funny.

Another week begins, and somehow the TBR pile has grown again. Truly shocking. No one could’ve predicted this.

It’s like time skips from Sunday evening to Monday morning, and suddenly you’re negotiating with yourself about reading “just one more chapter” ... for several hours straight.

Let’s be real. This isn’t about staying organized anymore. Your TBR has become part of your personality.

✨ What are you currently reading? 📖 What’s up next (whether planned or not)? 🔥 And be honest: how many books made their way into your life this weekend with zero resistance?

Share your current reads, unexpected hauls, or the book currently living rent-free in your head. Let’s kick off the week a little chaotic and very well-read! 📚

After ordering three more books today, I decided to stop buying books until I have read everything on my physical TBR. The only exceptions I made are borrowing library books and e-books for the seasonal readalongs. I just want to stop buying more books and "wasting" money. I have tried this before but honestly struggled to follow through because I wasn't very disciplined ("just one more book won't hurt") Mind you, I don't own a ton of books (I would guess 20 unread books) Do you have any tips? What are your experiences with book bans? Do they work for you? Or are they just not necessary? I also struggle with finishing one book, then starting the next one. I always read multiple books simultaneously... But that's a whole different struggle....

I asked this question months back, and the answers were absolutely brilliant, so I thought it would be fun to ask again!

If you were dropped into the book(s) you are currently reading, where would you be and what would you be doing?

I saw some negative reviews for this before I started reading saying that there was no world-building, and now I'm so confused? There's plenty of world-building, at least enough to tell the story that it's telling? I get that it starts a little info-dumpy, but it tells you enough as it goes to explain each step forward of the plot, without telling you everything in advance.

I'm not saying this is the best fantasy book I've ever read, but there's definitely enough there that I'm enjoying this, even if it feels a little more weighted in favour of the 'romance' element
