we can now give audiobook ratings!! thank you J+L for this feature 🤗💗

since the update (few minutes ago as i write this post), i’ve been going back to my finished audiobooks to update my rating. lucky for me, i’ve only started listening to audiobooks the past few months so it isn’t a lot.

how would you rate audiobooks? what would make you give an audiobook 5-stars? ⭐️🌟✨

How are you guys in the UK protecting your books in this heatwave?

I'm noticing a couple of my books are becoming curly and sticky. I'm keeping my curtains and windows are closed, but in true UK fashion it's not working 🤣

We all love special editions but if you had to design your own special edition of a book (can be any book), what would you do with it?

Will you make it sing? Will it have deckled edges? Will the sprayed edges be pretty? 3D pop up images? Burn fake book stickers to hell?

When reading does the weather sometimes immerse you in the story more? I.e being the same or something? Where you feel like a side character?

I'm delirious, if that doesn't make sense bone apple teeth. But my current read is set in Orlando, FL. And with the heatwave in the UK right now, it feels like Summer in Orlando just without the A/C, storms, warm rain, Disney World or a dole whip

I would love a dole whip right now

Hello everyone!! Just popping in here to remind everyone, but especially my fellow european boundlings to take extra care of yourself during this very extreme heat wave rn and the next days ‼️

And i don't mean drinking enough water, and sitting in the shade of a tree. I mean stay inside during the day, don't take the temperatures lightly and push yourself to work out or go for a run, try to reschedule them to the early morning hours or later in the evening if necessary. Cancel appointments or dates if you don't feel well. Try to minimise your daily activity to the bare minimum and only things necessary! Heatwave's should get treated like s snowstorm, bc it's nothing else than an extreme of the other end of the scale.

The temperatures we're currently experiencing are seriously no joke, people DIE bc of heatstrokes every day. People in central europe are not used to this conditions, our daily life is designed for colder temperatures, our buildings don't have integrated cooling systems and most private households don't have AC. These temperatures in central europe feel different from the same temperatures in other usual warm countries and regions.

Take care everyone!! 🫂☀️

Europe is currently getting hit by an extreme weather situation, scientists call "the omega situation". Warm air masses are getting firmly trapped between two cold air masses on each side, which leads to a very stable and long holding heat over central europe atm. These week the temperatures are rising over 40°C (104°F), which is a new heat record documented for these time of the year.

Good morning Bookaholics!

How is everyone doing?

We have officially hit heatwave weather in the UK, so i wanted to ask this question...🤔

What is everyone's go to genre during the summer? And do you have any little summer reading rituals you like to do? 📖

(I know that two questions, sue me 😝)
