What are some of your favourite and least favourite troupes and cliches in books and why??

Any advice welcome! With the school year starting I had very little time to read, so I ended up pausing all the books I had started. Now I want to continue, but I feel kind of disconnected and like I may have forgotten some plot details. Should I suck it up and continue and see if the memory comes back, or bite the bullet and restart? I'm over 200 pages into the one book (Priory of the Orange Tree) so I'm hesitant to restart, but I don't want to miss out on anything if I've forgotten a key detail! And because I'm indecisive I end up continuing to not read at all, making the problem worse with more and more time passing!!

Hi friends! This might just be something i’m not seeing but do book reviews not get posted on the main page… Is it only people achievements, forum posts, and comments that get posted there. I feel like I haven’t seen book reviews on there and I feel like that should be a feature. Am I missing something?

like you’re not good enough to win that grant tomorrow. Are you, sweetheart?” The fucker pats my cheek.

Oooo he called him sweetheart and patted his cheek!!! 🤭

I’m currently reading a book that has reviews, but no forum interaction. I’ve already posted like 3 times. I think im starting to feel a little self conscious. At the same time, it’s fun and I like seeing my thoughts out in the ether. 😅 Does any one else feel weird when they are the only one posting? 😆

helloo everyone!! I'm kinda trying to be more comfortable on here, and making this post is a step towards it (I don't usually do posts on socials lol). I got a bit of courage after reading some other posts: everyone seems so sweet and kind!! a thing I'm curious of is, how many books can you read contemporarily? I have a friend who's reading five, another who only reads one at a time, and I myself read 2-3 books together (usually a physical one, an ebook and often a fanfiction, if it is long enough)
