I really enjoyed all of the thoughts presented in this book. I thought they were well thought out and well argued. I think I read this book too far along my journey, this is a book I wish I had picked up in college. I felt as though I went in wanting to learn and was ready to read to learn however was met with ideas I have learned and had most of my life which is a testament to how far women have come; but is ultimately the reason I gave it a 3 out of 5

So how do you guys read books and use this app, specifically the forum.I usually read books and update the percentage but forum post... How do you do that😫 cause do you stop reading for the day and go to the forum and post? Or you stop in the middle of reading something and go post in the forum?? Pls tell me what do you guys normally do?

I'm a little in the dumps lately and overthinking everything surrounding romance (which makes up 90% of the books I read). I'm thinking of cutting down on my romance reads apart from what I already have. Genres I'm thinking of exploring are women's fiction, literary fiction, thrillers, fantasy, and memoirs. Looking to dive more into YA since it's likely to lack subplots romance in other genres. I'm also interested in reading family centric or platonic relationships. I'd love if you could suggest some recs with little to no romance!!

Contrary to a deserted island, this home is in a neighborhood with cheap bookshops and a well-stocked library, so you don't have to bring something that will entertain you for months or that you want to re-read at all.

I really wanna start this book for the spring season!!! I read the blurb and this is a must-read!🙂↕️ And omg the little calico cats at the beginning of every chapter🥹😍 the book is gorgeous , i feel like that’s that initially drew me to pick this book 🫣 -> Also i see there is a playlist? should i follow it? i usually don’t use book playlist 🙈 I might read this at the same time as Red White & Royal Blue 🌸
-> OOTD: Is anyone enjoying it so far??

I tried searching for lists but didn't find any, so I'm here to ask the hivemind for more books featuring my favorite fantasy fixation: elves. Obviously LOTR is the classic, but does anyone have other titles that feature elven cultures or characters in interesting ways or settings? Bonus points if it's outside traditional fantasy in some way, and/or diverse, but I'll take anything quality. This was actually inspired by my weekly Frieren watch, so manga is welcome too. I'm all pointy ears!

This might be a weird question but do you sometimes feel like a book belongs to a certain season?
Like when you read it, you feel warm so it has to be an autumn/winter read or you feel cool and then it's a spring/summer read. And this isn't related to the season the book is happening on, it's more like the vibes.
Do you havr books that make you feel this way?
