  • Feminist Fiction recs

    Hi!! Today i watched/read the play John proctor is the villain (amazing btw check it out) and i want to consume more feminist fiction, like fictional stories with feminist undertones. I want to be more informed but im not very used to nonfiction so if you have any fiction recomendation modern or classic please tell me.

    I’m specially interested in the way feminism is taught because i struggle a bit when some of my friends question feminist ideas, i want to be able to come up with good arguments and shut their mouths😂

    Ty!!! :)

  • how many books do you read at a time?

    i used to read 2 books at a time, depending on my mood. one heavy, and one causal/cosy. but recently i’ve been struggling with that. when i do that i tend to forget about one book and focus on the other. so now i just stick to one. but i see some people can read multiple books at a time! i’m just curious, why/how you do this?

    like i’m reading the city of brass and i am loving it so far, but i am also tempted to start reading mistborn too after hearing all about it so i bought it 😅 this addiction is real!

  • Note-taking While Reading

    Do you do it? Does it help you remember details? Do you go for paper or record thoughts digitally?

    I'm thinking it might help me with reading series (I have an awful memory) but my issue is that I'm not sure what would be important to me to note down in the moment. Do you have any advice for this?

    TIA!

  • I love this place

    My main goal for the year is staying off social media apps like tiktok, insta, Twitter, blue sky, and anything else that you can doomscroll on. Instead I'm just gonna do my best to either read, or come on here and yap with some people. Yes being on this app means I'll still be on my phone but it's not mindless like the other apps. It honestly annoys me how much time I wasted doomscrolling when I could have been reading, hanging out with friends, catching up on shows, and picking up new hobbies. I also FINALLY got a job a few months ago and I'll be damned if I continue wasting my time staring at my phone. I'm only really posting this to hold myself accountable lol.

    The only exception is to stalk my favorite author for updates ofcourse :)

  • Tell me what NOT to read in 2026. Save someone today!

    If you could convince me to NOT read one book you've read recently what would it be.

    So this would be a book you've read that maybe you have a petty or not so petty vendetta against and then name a book you would recommend in its place with similar story or point.

    Mine would be Psycho Shifters by Jasmine Mas. Full of truly cringe, terrible writing and brimming with classic misogyny along with a story full of outrageous plotlines (not in a fun way. in an infuriating way) that I feel like even the author couldn't keep straight, I could recommend 100 books with both psychos and shifters but done way better.

    My recs instead:

    Fawn by LV Lane for multiple shifters in a fantasy world.

    Their Lethal Pet by Lexi C Foss-for a fighter FMC in a urban dystopian world with multiple shifter partners

  • Did you hear about the girl who read 120 books in 2025?

    Apparently, she posted on X saying she read 120 books in 2025. Many people said those weren’t good books, even “trash” because many of them are erotic.

    As someone who loves fictions but doesn’t read erotics, I don’t think this is right. Except for the erotic parts, the books must be interesting so we could finish them.

    And I hate it when people say you can’t be learning anything beneficial if you don’t read non-fictions.
