How do you guys push through when you’re losing your mood for a genre? I have a couple more romance books I want to read for February, but now that Valentine’s Day is over, I’m slowly checking out!! Should I just wait until next year lol?

I’m curious whether others have this dilemma too 😂 does anyone else have series on their radars that they’re super interested in starting, but haven’t simply because of the length of the books/series? If so, what are they? For me it’s the Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. I’m a pretty slow reader who likes to finish a series without too many other books in between, so I suppose I am intimidated by the idea of diving into a long time commitment lol

Hi everyone, I really enjoyed Emotional Female by Yumiko Kadota and When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. I'm looking for some more medical book recs (memoir-style or fiction) to try if you have any suggestions 🩺 .

I've also read You Went to Emergency for What?, A Little Unwell and This is Going to Hurt. Thanks!

Hey lovely people!

I'm starting up an informal LGBTQIA+ loan library for the kids in my local homeschool community and I'd really love some recommendations for fiction and non-fiction books that have been released in the last 5 years or so that include LGBTQIA+ themes and/or information.

Book recommendations (picture books, graphic novels, paperbacks) suitable for babies through to seventeen year olds welcome.

Thank you!

For research purposes do you tend to prefer first or third person POV for romance? Do you usually look for books where you can put yourself in the place of the main character or would you go for a book where you get into the head of the other person for example … I see a lot of “assistant and boss” or “betrothed to royalty” type books but they’re always in the more either feminine or submissive or “bottom”pov. Would you read a book that was from the point of view of the king, though?

Hi, I'm kind of figuring out what I want to write my masters about and I'm really interested in books written in second person (aka, not the general you but entire POVs that uses you as within the narration).

I have a few books lines up with this: The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin, Humans Acts by Han Kang, and In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado (I have not actually read this last one yet, but I know it does this).

Now, I don't know how broad I'll be about the topic, but I would like some recommendations for books that use second person perspective as a writing device so that I can have some options and maybe figure out more exactly what I want to write about surroundings the topic, so if you have any, I'd really love to hear your recs.

Thanks in advance!
