  • From Enemies to Exhausted: Tropes You’re Over

    It’s time. We’re saying it out loud.

    What trope makes you immediately reconsider your life choices when you see it in a synopsis?

    The chosen one? Love triangles? Amnesia? Insta-love? The "I can fix him" dynamic?

    Confess your literary pet peeves below. This is your safe space to vent.

    I have no idea how I did this, but for some reason I’ve been assuming up until now that Phoysene and Treila are the same person?! I even kept thinking, “why does she have two different names? Why is one or the other used in different situations? How is she doing so much and why’s she trying to escape the castle?” Makes so much sense that they’re two different characters. I truely have no idea where I got the idea that they were the same person. Things make so much more sense now.

  • Thrifting Books

    For people that thrift, how do you personally go about it?

    I get the majority of my books off of Thriftbooks, I know some people have had bad experiences with them but I personally have only ever gotten one book that wasn't the quality described, and when I contacted them they immediately sent me a replacement, so I like them a lot.

    I wish I had thrift stores near me that had books I would actually want to read, not much in terms of speculative fiction around here 😭

    I've tried looking at Pangobooks, but it kind of intimidates me idk why 😅 I feel like the website never works well for me and feels unintuitive, have any of you tried it and liked it?

  • The curious case of the missing kindle

    Last night, after jolting awake from my kindle flopping over onto me, I decided it was time to call it a night. I picked up my kindle and rolled over to set it on the nightstand in its usual spot, and then promptly fell asleep. This morning, I wake up only to see that it's not there. Thinking that maybe I really fell asleep with it still in bed and just dreamed about putting it away, I look to the spot where I was reading - to see that it's not there either. Well, surely it must've gotten wrapped up in the blankets somehow, then. I shake out all the blankets and absolutely nothing falls out. Becoming distressed, I think "well, it's probable that I also could've swiped my hand along and it fell between the headboard?" I don't quite believe it, but I get a flashlight turned on and check anyway. Not there. I look around the perimeter of the bedskirts, picking them up and peeking under the bed. I know from past experience that my kindle falling is usually loud and surely would've woken me up, but I'm not ruling anything out. Still, kindle nowhere to be seen. At this point, I'm very agitated at this predicament and so decided to give it a rest for the moment and do my morning routine to clear my head before circling back to it. Routine done, I pace around the bed some more, thinking. I inspect the nightstand a little closer, and something clicks in my brain. Wait. Last night, I distinctly remember thinking that I should put my retainers in before getting to sleep. And didn't I wake up this morning and feel slightly confused after realizing that they weren't on my teeth? Surely, I have some reason to believe that I did at least reach out to put them on last night, so...! I open the drawer of my nightstand. The kindle is in the nightstand. It all comes together now. Last night, after having the thought about my retainers while still holding my kindle, my sleep addled brain must've confused my senses. When I thought that I was reaching over to open my retainer container, I was really opening the nightstand drawer all along. When I closed the drawer and my hand was free of the kindle, I of course thought that I had successfully done my nightly routine as usual and went to sleep!

    With that, the case is solved 🕵‍♂️ It's elementary, Watson

  • Question

    To the person responsible for this quest, I have a question.

    How dare you?

    I am up to my eyeballs in books, my TBR is exploding at a rate I cannot handle, and now you go and create the most tantalizing quest yet?? With the most gorgeous badge??

    I will not survive this.
