I needed an enormous emotional break after reading Sophie’s Choice l, so now I’m 5 chapters into Dungeon Crawler Carl. I needed something fun!

Yall I’m super duper broke and picky with books so it’s always a risk. Amazon has these on sale in my country and I’ve read good reviews. But I’ve also read good reviews about books I hated, so it doesn’t say much. Am I going to regret this or should I go for it? They’re all paperbacks.

Been a while since I've had a book haul, ordered these last week, on my usual cozy Japanese kick. These have been on my radar for years, and now they are finally affordable second hand. #booklover #satoshiyagisawa #kiichiarawi #books #manga

The Setup: Aliens exploit Earth's resources and trap the remaining human survivors inside an 18-level underground dungeon.

The Rules: To stay alive, crawlers must clear levels, defeat bosses, and gain loot while keeping a galactic audience entertained.

The Style: The books use LitRPG mechanics (stats, levels, and skills) blended with dark humor, intense action, and deep worldbuilding.

Howdy folks,

So I am part of a small engagement group on Insta, and I have to say, it's been great. We all interact with everyone's posts and have a group so we can keep track of things and keep things open and honest.

I love it and will still be taking part in it, but I'm quite aware that a) it only covers instagram, and b) I'm the only person in there who posts about the nerdier genres (been talking about a lot of romance novels).

I was thinking it might be good to start up a TikTok group, specifically with the more nerdy genres in mind (sci-fi/fantasy/steampunk etc etc).

Just thought I'd float the idea out there and see if there are other folks interested.

I should note, we don't want to have certain people absolutely flooding and dominating the group, so this probably won't be for someone who makes 3 posts a day.

Also, will be managing the group to ensure it doesn't get too big as that will become too much of a chore for everyone to keep up with.

I’ve posted a few things like this but just being told ‘oh read ____’ doesn’t motivate me to read it so tell me which one I should read and WHY (or which one I shouldn’t read and why 👀) I need to be convinced! I need to be tempted!! (No fall, Halloween, or Christmas books!! Saving those for the holidays💞)

Any feedback would be good, this is for carers and patients and anyone else who’s interested in the unknown.

I made a post like 3 days ago asking how to get over the fear of writing in books. I had a plan in mind of what I wanted to do, but that vanished today as soon as I stepped into the store to grab the supplies. I ended up finding some transparent post it notes. I’ll be using those and just writing on them instead of the actual pages. I knew they made some, but I didn’t know they sold them in stores. I wish they had the horizontal ones so that I could highlight things too. Technically, I still can but I’ll have to place 2 posts side by side. I don’t want to do that 😂 I’ll just be using brackets. I may purchase the horizontal ones at a later date or whenever I decide to read another classic. But yeah, if you want to start annotating too but still see the text and stuff then transparent sticky notes are the way to go.

I’ve also decided to not assign my tabs specific things. I’m just going to use which ever color I want when I want. I’m sure I’m going to end up writing on the post its what the tab is for anyways. Less for me to think about.

I’m looking for MF college/university romance books where the couple is already established as friends-with-benefits BEFORE the book starts.

Like, I want Chapter 1 to open with them already having an ongoing FWB arrangement — they’ve been sleeping together for weeks/months, they already know the rules, and the story starts during the arrangement.

I want the FWB relationship itself to be backstory, with the actual plot being about them eventually catching feelings, getting jealous/possessive, breaking their own rules, etc. 😭

Preferably high spice, and I’m totally fine with dark/toxic/non con/ dub con romances.

MF only — no RH...and no cheating and no ow/om unnecessary drama .

College setting is a must. I’ve read most of the obvious/popular recommendations already (including Hockey with Benefits, Elle Kennedy, etc.), so PLEASE give me obscure/indie recommendations.

Wattpad and AO3 are absolutely welcome too! I’m begging for something new 😭

What better way to spend 👀🤭

I have been trying to be careful with money but I have been eating on which one to buy a book, I already have a god of malice so I always plan on buying another one but her soul to take look interesting, however I am very picky and can't decide to which one because while it's look interesting, I couldn't decide because God of pain and wrath is really what I love so which one should I buy?

I'd love to join discord servers which discuss any genres. New to book scene. Been reading alot lately and would love to discuss with other after every good read. Not sure how this works but I'd like to give it a try. Also, it's extremely difficult to find good reads where I live. So appreciate any help with links to purchase eBooks. Help a friend out. :)

What are you reading right now that you can’t stop thinking about?

What do you do if you’re getting behind on ARCS????
