Curious to know what peoples die hard book recommendations are that aren’t circulating the trends right now? What do you read over and over? What is a book you’d defend like your life depends on it?

Influence me to buy the XTEINK X4 e reader please!! i’m still thinking of buying physical copies but i realized if i don’t switch to an e reader, the cost of my physical books is gonna be wayyy expensive than the xteink. kindle is way out of my budget so please influence me with the xteink! i dont mind the no backlight! THANK YOU SOOO MUCHHH

I noticed that the majority of the books on my shelves are ones that are considered “popular” or “booktok books”. I don’t see that as bad, but I want to read books that people don’t talk about as much. It’s been 3 years since I started reading, so I also want to read more diversely too. I have a college advising appointment today, so I plan on going to my library and thrift some books while im there. I’m going to try and keep an open mind 😂 Usually, I just go in and hope to find a book I’ve heard of instead of taking the time to read synopsis and find something that seems interesting. The way things are set up at my library makes actually looking so overwhelming, so I just quickly glance over them too. I hope to leave with at least 2 books. But yeah, a goal of mine is to read more diversely. That includes genre too.

Hey guys! I’ve been in such a reading slump lately and I need some good books to completely lose myself in. (Can be romantasty, magical, romantic but I’d prefer romance to be the main plot point)
Here’s what I like in a romance book:

Enemies to lovers
Slow burn
High tension
Best friends brother or brothers best friend
Banter
Flirting
DUAL POV PREFERABLY
Fated mates trope books are welcome as well!

But even if there isn’t some of those things still please comment your fav books because I will always try something once!

I’ll also include a few of my favourite books I’ve read:

Anything by Ana Huang
Wild love by Elsie silver
In which Margo Halifax earns her shocking reputation by Alexandra Vasti
The maple hills series by Hannah grace (although I like the last two more)
Hooked by Emily McIntire

Thank you! I truly look forward to your recommendations!

None of my friends really read the same books as I do :(. I want more friends either on Goodreads or something like that so we can discuss our current reads and everything

I am currently reading the Legacy of Gods series by Rina Kent and i am ADDICTED. I mean a book a day.
I know the Rinaverse of all her series and they’re in my plans but not all are released at Waterstones so i have to wait!

I like the obsessiveness, possessiveness, JEALOUSY and SMUT but the couple ending up together.

I want some more dark romance book series recommendation based on what i like above for after this series?

Whether it’s dark romance or sweet romance, i don’t mind! I finished the EOD trilogy, Lights out, from here to eternity and loved them all! Anyone have recommendations?

has anyone else got rid of all their special editions and just gone to normal / kindle books? or close to?

buying special editions has become a bit of an addiction and although they are beautiful the expense really adds up

plus I find I’m buying them just for the look and not the content and it’s making me lose my love of reading a little

I’m around 15% in and… is it just me or is this book super slow?

Don’t get me wrong, Donna Tartt’s writing is beautiful and the atmosphere is amazing. I totally get the dark academia appeal and I can see why people love it. But I feel like I’m just slowly walking around with these characters while waiting for something to happen.

Please tell me I’m not alone here. Did it eventually click for you or is the pacing just part of the experience?
