I read the first chapter of The Poisonwood Bible (Barbara Kingsolver) last night. It seems to be recommended often and amongst people's top 5 books. Maybe I need to give it a bit longer but I found the language and writing style didn't hook me. Today, my library reservation on Dark Matter (Blake Crouch) came through and I'm stuck. It's way more my usual genre but I was recommended TPB because I was told it would scratch my itch for a book with a complicated father-daughter dynamic. Do I hang in for a while longer with it (it's so long!!) or go with the one I know I'll definitely like? If you read and liked TPB, can you tell me what was memorable or enjoyable about it?

I've been thinking a lot about the TV series The OA and Prairie's drive to find and be reunited with Homer, who is no longer in the same dimension as her. The part that hurt about the series being cancelled was Pairie having again lost Homer and promising to come find him. Are there any books that have a similar theme? Preferably, where they're finally reunited and both recognise they have existed together before elsewhere.

I'm looking for book suggestions where complex father-daughter relationships are explored really well and get you in your feels about the bond that is or could have been between dads and daughters. I'm open to the genre as long as that criterion is met.

What happens when our birb completes 100% of a destination? Do we get to stay there unless we fly somewhere else? I'm almost all the way through the Amazon and it will be the first location I've stayed this long, so I'm unsure if I get to just keep hanging out here or have to fly somewhere else.

I keep seeing a couple of books recommended or amongst people's favourite reads. I wonder whether anyone, who isn't American, has read them and loved them enough to consider them a must-read. They're John William's Stoner and Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove.

Why is the trade sub so dead here? Where are you all trading? I haven't been trading too long and over in the Finch reddit most people seem to have gone to bed by the time I'm ready to trade (I live in Australia).

I'm wondering if there's a way to read all the messages from one friend when they send you a gift and a vibe and gratitude, for example. I get a notification I have 2 or 3 or whatever messages from someone then click on it and only see the top message. The others don't appear. It doesnt seem to matter whether I access the message from my tree (i.e., clicking on their birb) or from my mail box. Anyone else experience this and figure out a workaround?
