  • Content , triggers, etc

    Here's a question I have seen floating around other sites for the authors .

    Why do some authors put them in the back of the book instead of the first page ? Don't say,' Oh, it's a spoiler if it's in the front '

    Question for the readers: Do you think content warnings and trigger warnings should be in the front or the back ? Do you think it's a spoiler if it's in the front.

    My opinion is I like them in the front, so you can see a new book and see what may trigger you vs what may not

  • A couple questions about e-readers 💭

    Hello everyone, hope you’re all doing well!!

    Recently my reading streak has started to slowly pick itself up back to a good pace after I got on a family vacation, which gave me a disgusting amount of free time to read. That also made me notice a couple of issues with my current e-reader. I currently have a Kobo Libra 1st gen, and it while has a good battery life, struggles with loading files despite their size, the screen flickers quite often and both the annotation and highlighting functions are so slow it actively discourages me from using these. Needless to say, despite how much I love my e-reader, I’m now considering getting a new one.

    I wanted to ask the opinions of those who have a Kobo Libra Color or e-readers with similar e-ink functionality, because annotating and highlighting are two of the main things I want to be able to do on an upgrade. I’ve decided to pass on Clara versions because I enjoy the buttons.

  • how has PB changed you as a reader?

    I've been on PB for about 6 months now and am noticing that I'm reading SO MUCH MORE and am also much more likely to be critically engaging with texts.

    As someone who has been in university for 9 years (with one year break), I used to treat fiction as even more of a brain break. I was reading a lot of the same types of books - i.e. endless amounts of books about lady spies mixed with every available popular linguistics book. I'd also read every single Tudor historical fiction book available when I was in high school. Before joining PB I was just starting to dip my toes into fantasy (shoutout to R.F. Kuang for converting me).

    Now, I find myself constantly exercising my literary analysis muscles and also reading a much wider variety of books. I've learned that I absolutely love found family in fantasy (because duh) and definitely don't mind it when authors get a little experimental (please drop recs for this btw!).

    I'm curious, how has PB changed the way you approach books or the types of books you read?

    What a fun ride! I picked this up on recommendation because I was looking for books about trans characters where their identity wasn’t the main conflict, and while that isn’t entirely true of this story, I think this first book has set the groundwork for the sequels to fall more accurately into that category. 

    This is my first book by Juno Dawson, but I adore her prose. This is not a horror novel, but some of her descriptions could have been from one and I love a darker-toned fantasy.

    This is essential fantasy for our times, especially if you live in the anglosphere. I am from the U.S., but I have lived in the U.K. and my heart goes out to my trans siblings as our governments look at each other across the pond and say “hold my beer.” I cannot wait until the day they stop taking their insecurities out on us and leave us alone, but until then, I hope we all manage to break free and find our own covens
