To play devil’s advocate for Terracotta, if my sisters were named after the Rosetta Stone and Altamira Cave, I think I would also be a bit evil that I was named after any number of terracotta things. One of these names is not like the other Lillian. Did you really run out of specific archeological wonders after two?

Hello beautiful people ! I recently realised that my younger sister read books that, in my eyes, are wayyyy too explicit for a 13 years old (ie Not in love by Ali Hazelwood). I have no control over what she reads but do you have romance recommendations that are more teen friendly ? I am also curious about when people encounter spicy books because for for me 16 to 18 would be a better age to start.

Just curious to know what you guys do to get out of reading slumps. Some months I read a lot…like 6 books back to back (a lot according to me lol considering I have 2 jobs, a side hustle and a house full of kids) and then sometimes I slow down to half a book a month. I dnf so many books in that phase so much I end up just going back to Netflix, Tiktok and scrolling FB What do you do to start up again, quickly, before you lose your reading habits

Okay so I absolutely hated everything about a kiss of deception. It had a promising plot, but the way it was executioned was sooooo boring and completely lost me.

I didn’t like the pacing of the romance (as in, everything happened way too early without any real development) and the fmc was extremely bland and boring.

Should I give a dance of thieves a go or just completely scrap it? I have this book in a physical copy already and I still have a chance to get an exchange at waterstones.

Hi friends!

My library's summer reading bingo just dropped and I need help with a few prompts! Some of them are a little tricky. Since this is a summer challenge and I can't read that many books per month, I'm looking for books that are maybe on the shorter side? I'm thinking that will be easier. I can technically use one book for up to 2 prompts so if you know of a book that hits multiple please let me know!

I primarily read fantasy, sci-fi, horror, etc. Basically not much contemporary!

Here's the prompts I'm sorta stuck on: A book someone recommended to you (Luckily anything you all suggest will fit this one!) MC is the same age as you (I'm 32 but I'm thinking anything close would count? Also my aunt who is doing this with me need someone who is 51 ish. Similar genres but she'll read contemp romance too!) Make a recipe from a cook book (I have no clue for this one!) MC is neurodivergent Winter themed book Spin wheel and read non-fic category (I have to go into the library and spin a wheel but if you have short non-fics please recommend those! Not memoirs though, I won't read them.) Title has 5 words Classic published before 1900 Book with multiple timelines
