I'm curious ā considering a lot of us readers are collectors, have lots of cozy hobbies, and take care of curating a space that feels like our own ā what's your aesthetic?
I'm a pink and glitter lover, which means my kindle and Kobo are decorated with pink, and I like pink and glittery things in my cozy gaming and reading space. I think mine matches my fave genres, which is romance.
I'm curious how everyone else is curating or decorating their shelves/reading space/ hobby space.
And does it match what you read?

Kwentong Butsero is bloody, dark, unsettling, and deeply Filipino. It explores the ways that people can be cruel, the way we can butcher others because of greed, vanity, and sadism. What's scary about the stories within the book is not just the horror elements or possibility of evil forces, but how close it is to the reality of the darkest parts of the Philippine society. These are real people you might meet or have met, and that's terrifying. The anthology is cohesive, with interwoven themes and callbacks to different stories within the collection. The illustrations add to the tone of the stories and are unapologetic in their gritty aesthetic. Chua's writing is sharp and witty, though I wish it could be more descriptive at times. It's the first time I've ever heard of transgressive fiction (a genre of literature that breaks social, moral, and literary taboos to explore characters who rebel against societal norms), and this might be my first foray into it, but it surely won't be my last.
By the end, I was left deeply thinking about Chua's words in an interview: "We may not physically butcher people, but are we not guilty of cruelty in other ways? Underpaying employees, backstabbing friends, spreading lies, indulging in vanity at the expense of othersāthese, too, are acts of butchery.".

Almost no plot, all vibes and smut. Generic yaoi š¤·

technically speaking, iāve only read 36 actual books and the rest are just manga volumes, does that count?
in my head, mangas arenāt technically books. i mean they are art, thatās not where im getting at, itās just not the same type of art as actual novels. the same way you see movies and tv shows separate from broadways and novels. theyāre all arts, just different forms.
so does that make adding mangas in my reading goal as cheating? i did it so i can track whatās the last volume i read and where i need to pick it back up from. but i gotta admit, it does make me feel accomplished that i read 100+ books even though theyāre just manga volumes. i can get through 3-4 volumes in a day easily, on top of my regular reading.

I was struggling to imagine what a "deep voice, soothing" and "soft, deep tone" sounded like and it so happened I got distracted by ig reels right after this chapter. I came across the perfect example of a guy and š³

I need men on their knees, tears streaming, desperately begging for forgiveness. In the books I've read, their attempts to grovel are never enough, and the FMCs forgive them far too quickly.
I'd appreciate any recommendations! Any genre, any trope, just: š§¹ no cheating š§¹ no bully books š§¹ for dark romance: no SA between the main characters
Thank you!
