I mostly put any book I want to read in my TBR. But do most people put only books they own on their TBR list? I put books i definitely want to read on my TBR and books I think about reading sometimes on Interested. I own less than 10 books and just use my library so maybe that's why I never thought of TBR as owned books. I would love to hear what you do. All ways are valid ofc

Have you guys ever imagined something from a book incorrectly and then realized it too late? Like, maybe you somehow missed a descriptor while you were reading and you only realized it when it came up again later on?

My BIGGEST screw up was imagining an MMC with dark hair only to realize he was blonde… on my third or fourth reread of the series!! I have no idea how I missed the description of his hair color MULTIPLE times but, I did, and by the time I realized the truth, it was too late to change the image in my head. This happens to me on occasion with hair color, eye color, etc., but it also happens sometimes with setting. For example I’ll read “She set the remote down on the table to her left”, and I’ll be like LEFT?!? Since when is the table on the left?!? But then I go back and reread and… yeah, it’s always been on the left.

This, however, is different than when it’s the author’s fault😡. Like, sometimes authors will wait until 60% of the way into the book and randomly throw in a line like “I gathered my blonde tendrils into a loose bun” and it’s like ummmmm excuse me?? You’ve already given me NOTHING but time to imagine the characters how I want, and NOW you want to tell me something crucial about their appearance?? It’s actually one of my pet peeves while reading when authors don’t establish things early on. Obviously I don’t need every book to start with some cheesy scene where the character is looking in the mirror, unsubtly describing themself for me- but I should at least know the basics by 15% in or something.

Anyways… any thoughts lmao?

Hi guys! I'm trying to look for new fonts for my e-reader and wondering if you guys have a favorite or suggestion. I usually use Bookerly and has no problem with it. I just want to try new ones. ^^

Another round!

1. lush descriptions / minimal prose
2. morally grey leads / pure-hearted leads
3. cliffhanger chapters / clean breaks
4. tense atmosphere / relaxed tone
5. dialogue-heavy / action-heavy
6. unpredictable structure / classic structure
7. myth-inspired stories / entirely original lore
8. dual timelines / single continuous arc
9. messy characters / polished characters
10. book you finish in a day / book you savour for weeks

This is so random but does anyone else get different smells from each book? Like some books have a specific type of book smell, so when I reread them, the book's contend AND SMELL 🤦‍♀️remind me of the first time I read it. Like I like all book smells but specific authors or publishing companies have different smelling books. Am I crazy?

Hi PB club! Lately, I’ve realized that most of the stuff I read is from American authors, and as someone who doesn’t live in the US I’d love to expand my horizons. What are some of your favourite authors from outside America?
