Saw this on my facebook and intended to sent it privately to my best friend but I messed up and share it on my profile for all my FB friends to see. It became a happy accident because my book friends (whom haven't talked to in a while) engaged on the post and we had fun on roasting my chaotic evil friends.

I'm lawful evil. You? alt text

Unseelie (The Unseelie Duology, #1)

Ivelisse Housman

Twin sisters, both on the run, but different as day and night. One, a professional rogue, searches for a fabled treasure; the other, a changeling, searches for the truth behind her origins, trying to find a place to fit in with the realm of fae who made her and the humans who shun her. Iselia "Seelie" Graygrove looks just like her twin, Isolde... but as an autistic changeling trying to navigate her unpredictable magic, Seelie finds it more difficult to fit in with the humans around her. When Seelie and Isolde are caught up in a heist gone wrong and make some unexpected allies, they find themselves unraveling a larger mystery that has its roots in the history of humans and fae alike. Both sisters soon discover that the secrets of the faeries may be more valuable than any pile of gold and jewels. But can Seelie harness her magic in time to protect her sister, and herself?

Seven Devils (Seven Devils, #1)

L.R. Lam

When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray. Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated. When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings. Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die.

An Unkindness of Ghosts

Rivers Solomon

Odd-mannered, obsessive, withdrawn, Aster has little to offer folks in the way of rebuttal when they call her ogre and freak. She's used to the names; she only wishes there was more truth to them. If she were truly a monster, as they accuse, she'd be powerful enough to tear down the walls around her until nothing remained of her world, save for stories told around the cookfire. Aster lives in the low-deck slums of the HSS Matilda, a space vessel organized much like the antebellum South. For generations, the Matilda has ferried the last of humanity to a mythical Promised Land. On its way, the ship's leaders have imposed harsh moral restrictions and deep indignities on dark-skinned sharecroppers like Aster, who they consider to be less than human. When the autopsy of Matilda's sovereign reveals a surprising link between his death and her mother's suicide some quarter-century before, Aster retraces her mother's footsteps. Embroiled in a grudge with a brutal overseer and sowing the seeds of civil war, Aster learns there may be a way off the ship if she's willing to fight for it.

How low do you go?

What's the lowest average rating you would consider reading?

I give most books I read a 3 star rating, but I was searching for books the other day and realised that I didn't add books to my TBR if they had a rating of less than 3.5, so I'm wondering if I need to rethink my rating system.

This book has many beautiful passages, and while I did enjoy Ganga’s narrative, I could not claim the same for Bhishma’s. His chapters were frustrating at best, and boring most of the time. There are so many people in this book, most if not all of them with multiple names, and the family tree featured is wholly unhelpful. Big shoutout to user selmuhmm, for gracing the forum with her overview of the situation. I don’t know what I would’ve done without it.

Goddess of the River

Vaishnavi Patel

A powerful reimagining of the story of Ganga, goddess of the river, and her doomed mortal son, from Vaishnavi Patel, author of the instant New York Times bestseller Kaikeyi . A mother and a son. A goddess and a prince. A curse and an oath. A river whose course will change the fate of the world. Ganga, joyful goddess of the river, serves as caretaker to the mischievous godlings who roam her banks. But when their antics incur the wrath of a powerful sage, Ganga is cursed to become mortal, bound to her human form until she fulfills the obligations of the curse. Though she knows nothing of mortal life, Ganga weds King Shantanu and becomes a queen, determined to regain her freedom no matter the cost. But in a cruel turn of fate, just as she is freed of her binding, she is forced to leave her infant son behind. Her son, prince Devavrata, unwittingly carries the legacy of Ganga’s curse. And when he makes an oath that he will never claim his father’s throne, he sets in motion a chain of events that will end in a terrible and tragic war. As the years unfold, Ganga and Devavrata are drawn together again and again, each confluence another step on a path that has been written in the stars, in this deeply moving and masterful tale of duty, destiny, and the unwavering bond between mother and son.

Best 5-10 books of 2026 so far?

Rank your top 5/10 (depending on how many you've read, or if you read less then 5 just tell your favourite so far) from 5th/10th place up. You can also do a top 3 or top 6 or anything between 1 and 10 depending on how many books you've read/how many books you really enjoyed so far. Only ONE book per rank on the scale. That is the hard part. Pick your favourite child.

I'll go first: 7th Tress of the emerald sea - Brandon Sanderson 6th Gallant - V E Schwab 5th A thousand perfect notes - C G Drews 4th Where the dark stands still - A B Poranek

3rd The decagon house murders - Yukito Atsuji

2nd Mistborn: The final empire - Brandon Sanderson

1st First love: essays on friendship - Lilly Dancyger

Loved all of these so much!

Bookmark habits when reading

I've been reading this morning and I have thought of something weird to ask! This is lretty much about reading physical books because ebooks sort of.. save your place already

First, how many of you use bookmarks? How many use something else (dog-earing pages, memorizing the page number (i used to do this when i was reading one book at a time))?

For those of you that use bookmarks, do you take it out when you read and then put it back in to the new spot when you're done reading? Do you move the bookmark ahead to the spot you're aiming to read to? Do you move the bookmark with every page turn? (I've done all these 😂)
