Hi~ I'm asking this because in many years of tracking my books I've almost never used the tbr section,but I'm starting to wonder if that wouldn't be way more practical than just staring longingly at my shelves whenever I'm considering to start a book. So,the questions are: -Do you only put books you own physically in the tbr,or also those you still have to get a hold on or that you are planning to read digitally? -Does actually having a full tbr list ruin the magic of scanning the shelves? Because that would be kind of...meh

I’ve stopped using social media and haven’t found any good fanfics lately, but I’m still in the habit of grabbing my phone when I wake up before I actually get up. I don’t want to be a scroller ever again so I’m wondering if perhaps it would be a good idea to start my day by reading one short story every morning! Does anyone have any good recs of short story collections for someone who has never explored the form?

This book seems like it was written by someone who has never had a cat :/

I've been meaning to read more sapphic books but can't seem to find good ones. Can someone recommend books that aren't fantasy, good written and in which the lesbian couple is the main plot? ♡

Hello everyone! I recently came across a post that asked about how most marketed books as YA now include smut/spicy scenes. It got me thinking (again, I already had a discussion with my friends about it) how not all sex scenes are smut. Of course that if there are these kind of scenes written in YA books they should always put a warning in the beginning and the author should have in mind the fact that it will be teens reading these books. I also think parents should be open to answer questions the teens might have, and not make a fuss about it.

And now I want to ask you, what does, for you, mean smut and what differentiates it from intimate scenes?

I'm more thinking outside of tracking apps like Pagebound and Storygraph ect. How to you keep books that sound interesting in mind when it would break the flow to go to another app?

I've been writing reviews for books I have read recently. But when writing I feel like I'm doing it all wrong, (ps. I'm not good at writing book reviews).

Like what do people even look for when reading reviews? What should I been talking about when writing them? How do I become better at writing book reviews?

I am still not sure how I can add some of the self published e books I have read, to truly reflect my actual total of books read. Same goes for physical books that were published way before ISBN or ha8never been added to internet book spots.

Hey guys!! I read rom-coms sometimes but they aren’t really doing it for me so i thought that i would try with movies but i don’t know where to start. So has anyone got recs for where to start or good rom-coms in general? I think i would be more in the 2010 rom-com vibe.
