Are there any features on your ereader you discovered after a ridiculously long time of owning it?

Today I discovered I can read audiobooks on my Kindle Basic 2022.... I've had it for 3 years 🤣🙈

I just had the insanely jarring realization that honeymoons are a thing and I completely forgot about them when I set my username. I’ve always used “ golden moon” something as gaming usernames and just thought honey moon was a cute variation 🫠

This made me start wondering if I was similarly misreading anyone else’s usernames and what some of them meant. So while I think of a new username, I wanted to ask everyone what’s the story behind your username? 👀

Edit: The rebrand has been done 😌

I have a question for you all. I hate amazon, but I can't deny it is convenient and it has a lot of exclusive ebooks and audiobooks.

Right now, audible is "offering" a 99c/month subscription for 3 months. And I don't want to give Bezzos more money but also I want those exclusive audios I can't get anywhere else (unless I pirate them but I think it's worse and I refuse to do it). My thinking is that, surely, those offers rely on people forgetting to cancel at the end of the 3 months and that's how the company will make their money. Because, surely at 99c a month they have to lose money for that period of time, right?

So I guess my question is, ethically would it be ok for me to take the deal? I know you can't tell me what to do, and there's a lot of nuances and all that jazz, I'm just curious to know your take on it because I'm conflicted. My ethic says "stay away 'cause fuck the 'zon" but my fangirl says "but exclusive authors" and if I can help them lose money while still getting some money to the authors and get my exclusive...well...

Help a girl out. Please.

Edit I wanted to thank you for the tough love. I needed the reminder that the easy thing isn't alwyas the right thing and the right thing isn't always easy. Thanks everyone for the little push in the right direction. I needed that. Temptation was real for a moment there and that's how they get ya!

I am a SUCKER for dystopian romance. I was that girl in the 2010s, reading all the dystopia that I could get my hands on. I know that there has been a resurgence of the genre recently (Daggermouth etc), so I was wondering if anyone has any recs? Specifically dystopian romance that has been published in the past few-ish years or is about to be published!

I swear the holds on Borrowbox are made up because when I put a hold on Tough Guy by Rachel Reid with my library it said I had to wait until the 17th of August

Today it says 17th of June

Well, at least I don't have to wait long

Does anybody have any recs for romance books with storm chasers like tornadoes or hurricanes? 👀

Just anything. I've seen a couple that I've requested ARC's for, but have yet to hear back from the publishers. BUT I want to see if there's any others

HAPPY PRIDE!! Hope this month brings some amazing books for everyone😍

I would love some recs for some supernatural and/or paranormal reads for this month. I WILL be making my way through lists and quests, however, I’d really love some specific recs from people, especially if they’re from smaller/indie authors or books not on here often but that YOU love.

What I’m looking for:

✨ shorter books (max 200ish pages)

✨ any and all queer characters (a lot of my TBR is MM so if I could get recs from other spaces within the community that would be amazing)

✨ as wacky and wonderful as you like as long as there are some supernatural (ie vampires, werewolves, ghouls etc) and/or paranormal (ie ghosts, cryptids, aliens etc) characters/elements

Thanks so much! 👽🧛‍♀️🐺

Edit: have added some recs that fit MM below for anyone interested in these types of books!!

Happy June, Boundlings! 💜

As we step into summer, maybe this month is less about reading more, and instead about reading well. Reading what excites you, and ditching what doesn’t. And maybe reading in spaces that feel fresh and light - the beach, a hammock, your front garden.

A few gentle reading habits we can bring into June:

• Keeping a mood read on hand for when plans change
• Spending less time worrying about your reading pace
• Making time to enjoy a few pages outdoors
• Remembering that every page counts, even when life gets busy!

📖 What book is kicking off your June reading? ☀️ What's one reading habit you'd like to cultivate this summer? 🏳️‍🌈 Are you reading anything specific for Pride Month?

Wishing everyone a month filled with good books, sunny reading spots, and stories that arrive at exactly the right time 🩷✨
