Libby had released a statement on January 12th stating that they will not be excluding books created with the help of AI, just that they ask publishers to “self-identify AI content” which we all know is something these “authors” would never willingly do.

I will be providing a link to the official Instagram post that they made. And for those without Instagram, the images of their statement will be here pictured below.

What is everyone’s favourite book by R.F. Kuang? Or do you not like her books at all? I’m about to dive into Babel which has been the book I’m most excited to read by her. I’ve read yellowface, which I thought was okay, the first Poppy War, which I thoroughly enjoyed (but it kind of broke me), and recently finished Katabasis, which I found incredibly underwhelming, despite it having a very interesting premise. Since my ratings and enjoying of her books have been all over the place I’m curious to hear what other people think!

It's giving Fox News for me... I'm so curious where this is going! I feel like so many reviews have said that Margaret's story doesn't interest them, but my interest is definitely piqued! And EmHen's writing is my happy place.

If you start reading a book in December 2025 and finish it in January 2026, would you count it as a 2025 read or a 2026 read?

PageBound and other apps put the book as 2026, but my brain is conflicted because I started it in 2025 so it doesn’t feel completely right to say it’s a 2026 read even though I did finish it in 2026. I also track my books in notes still (idk why aha) and I list the books under the month in order of when I started them with book title, author and dates read. So in my list it’s in December 2025 which I think may be why it doesn’t feel completely right to say it’s a 2026 book.

I am probably thinking about this way to much but curious to hear other peoples thoughts hehe

basically the title of the post. i’m an asexual lesbian who doesn’t really care for sex in books. i don’t mind if it’s a small amount i just don’t really get much out of it. are there any good horror books y’all have read with heavy focus on a lesbian relationship between main characters? thanks!
