doesn’t it bother you when you well and truly can’t remember the name of a book 🤯 when i was a teen i used to read this book series, im guessing it was probably YA but who knows it may have been adult (i don’t particularly remember anything smutty or anything involved though). and it was a group of friends, likely teenagers, who were all working abroad/on holiday together. and as far as i remember it was just them working and there being different couples involved and a bit of drama. i swear the main girl character was named eve or eva. and on the cover her love interest was a tanned skinned boy. any ideas? 🥴😅 a complete long short but i used to looove this series and it’d be so cute to look it up and have a nostalgia hit

Curious to know what the first book of the month is for everyone! For me, it's Winterlight by Kristen Britain. The end of my reread is nigh!

How likely are you to read a book because it was short or long listed for a prize? Which prizes do you follow? Or do you have a feeling of "oh, this piece of ~literature will surely be above my meer mortal understanding" and thus you avoid reading books with prize stickers? I'm excited about all aspects of this discussion. I want to be a reader of prize winning books, but also often gaslight myself into assuming I'm not smart enough for the high brow stuff.

does anyone else pre-holiday try to pick out books to take that are going to suit the vibes of where they’re going? heading to Copenhagen soon and desperately trying to think of Copenhagen-vibed books to take with me 😅

How many books have you read this month? What were your five-star/favorite reads? It's a slow month for me; I was in a reading slump the first half of the month and was busy with moving out of our apartment. I read 3 books in total: - The Strawberry Patch Pancake House by Laurie Gilmore (⭐⭐⭐⭐) - The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore (⭐⭐⭐) - The Dare by Elle Kennedy (⭐⭐⭐⭐) All great books, but my fave is The Dare. It's funny and cute at the same time. Special mention to my favorite discovery this month, too, Pagebound! If it weren't for this site, I wouldn't have been able to get out of my reading slump. ☺️

i have no idea if this would ever be possible, but thought i’d mention something i’ve always wanted out of a book app (literally i think about this every time i use storygraph) i’d looove if when adding a book to my tbr, i could add just a little note where i can document where i found out about the book and why in that moment im so intrigued to read it i just find my tbr can get so long i often look through it and see many books in which i have no recollection of where it was recommended to me, or why i was excited by it. especially as i tend to get my recommendations from many many sources. does this sound like something anybody else would enjoy too? perhaps could be a future suggestion the the page bound creators
