Hello! Lately I've been struggling with my shelf space, I have a shelf on the wall and then two more as part of my desk, but I still live with my parents and only my room is really mine. To be fair, there is a BIT of extra space I'd get if I cleaned up a little bit, but does anyone have any tips on making cleaning a bit more fun or other spots where I could keep my books?

For me it happened 10 minutes ago. I hit up the library to get Palahniuk's Fight Club, and saw the titular book "Haunted". Now I heard a lot about that fucker, especially online, mostly about the short story "Guts". I never heard anything good about that thing, everyone said it its one of the nastiest things they have read in their lives. The back of the book said "67 people passed out in readalouds of Guts". So I obviously read it right then and there.

I really shouldn't have. Its 100% my fault that I laid my eyes on it. I already sent the synopsys to my best friend, just so he can suffer aswell.

So, what was your "I ignored all warnings and I regret it" story of yours? It doesn't have to be something disturbing, it could be just and overall very bad book.

There are many people on this app I have yet to meet. But unfortunately I cannot go onto everybody’s profile and see what they’re reading. So I would like to ask you: what are you reading at the moment? And how do you like it?

I am currently reading:

Bury our bones in the midnight soul: I’m liking this a lot so far, I’m 37 percent through. The writing is pleasant and smooth, but unfortunately my attention has gone to another book I’m currently reading…

As good as dead: the 3rd book in the a good girls guide to murder series. I loved the first two and finished them so fast, I devoured them lol XD I am loving this as well, unfortunately i am just a tiny bit hesitant to read more and finish because I don’t want this series to finish hehe.

The poppy war: the book that has been stealing my attention, it’s not what I expected so far, but I’m constantly at the edge of my seat in preparation for a twist to happen. I’m loving this as well

So for me, reading is going quite well, but how about you? 👀

Yesterday was the last day of my local library's adult summer reading program! My friends and I made it into a contest to see who could read the most (results to be determined) so I have all my stats for the last 66 days really dialed in. From June 9th to August 13th I read:

For 186 Hours and 9 Minutes 28 books, start to finish For 257 distinct sessions For an average of 43 minutes a session For a longest session of 6 Hours and 52 Minutes

Did/Is anyone else participating in a Summer Reading Program? How'd you do? Back to recreational reading.

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's time for my three "W" questions again:

1. What are you currently reading?
2. What have you recently finished reading?
3. What are you planning to read next?

Feel free to answer in as much or as little detail as you'd like, and don't forget to check out what other people have said, you may find some new friends to go "book same!" with!

I can't believe we lost Dolly and Tim in the same day (he passed late last night apparently).

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tell me your favourite Tim Curry show/movie/musical/game, and give a book rec based on that piece of media.

I also read Tim's memoir, Vagabond earlier this year, and definitely recommend it.
