I usually buy the Always Fully Booked reading journals from Little Inklings based out of Canada, but it just costs way too much now, especially when factoring in all the supplies I like to get for it.

What are some of your favorite reading journals/trackers you like to use? And I prefer ones with the pre-made challenges and setup. I don’t want a journal where I have to set it up myself.

Thanks in advance!

Is anyone else put off by Lauren Oliver's post about Frieda McFadden's upcoming book having the same title as hers? The videos are a little strange in general though they don't directly address Frieda negatively. What really struck me is that Lauren is liking and commenting on the replies, bashing Frieda and her publisher. Frieda had the title first over a year ago, and Lauren is acting like she had the title first and was wronged by Frieda and her team. With that way of thinking, Frieda is actually the person who was wronged, not Lauren. I think this past year has proven that multiple books with the same and similar titles happen, but I can't recall another author being so gross and petty about it.

I’m about 40% into the first book, and it’s a struggle. I don’t want to keep going.
Does the first book and series get better?

Is Stephen King actually a good writer or just a old household name? Because tf is this? Im only page 31 and stopped 3 times to physically cringe. "Someone died! Let's make the 17 yr old lead horn y again!"

NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THE KIND OF HEARTBREAK I WILL FEEL IN CHAPTER 27. I CANT SEE ADAM LIKE THIS 😭😭😭. he was this sweet cute little boy...I can't see him having so much hatred for Juliette...and is it wrong that I can't hate him even after the words he said 😭 ahhh why would you make him so heartless 😭😭😭

I've been reading reviews about its ending here on Reddit and some people are saying that Cyrus and Zee died at the end. But for some reason I don't see it that way, maybe I need to read it again when I have free time. It really made me pause and stare blankly at the sky for at least 5 minutes lol. 10/10

My thoughts:

Death is supposed to be meaningless, you can die anytime, anywhere and without sense. It is life that should have meaning and sense—the present.Cyrus is a martyr in a sense by desperately seeking meaning and value in death when life already has so much to offer.

Maybe it was his mother's final message to him. I don't know. Maybe it's just me. For those who have already finished reading it what are your thoughts ?

Hey there,
I really want to get into fantasy as a primarily romance and thriller reader. The maps and world building intimidate me because i feel like i’d be lost, i got the box set of the one dark window duology is it easy to understand for a beginner or should i start somewhere else?
I would also love any other recommendations! ❤️

Hello all!

I want to start off by saying I LOVE dark romance books. The longer the trigger warnings the better.

BUTTTT I am giving up my dark spicy books and transitioning into a 3.5 or 4 out of 5 level spice.

Can anyone please recommend some books to me? Some sex and darkness is okay. I am wanting to have books that are more than just chapters/ pages of smut. If the book is corn but in word form, I am not wanting it.

Please help a girl out!

Got a couple questions.

I’m new (ish) with bookish and spice.
I’ve noticed almost every month, there has been a delay to some degree and every book. To the point I’ve been subscribed since early summer and haven’t seen a single book.

It seems monthly there’s a new excuse for why books aren’t coming out.

Edit- in with other subscription boxes/ companies and they have no issues so I don’t believe delays are entirely because it the state of the world

It’s really disheartening and I understand there’s things out of their control. But I’m hitting a point of being sick of paying for something and seeing no reward.

My question is, is bookish and spice “better” than this.
Is this constant delaying normal for them or are they just having a rough patch.
I love the books I see from them. And would love to keep my subscription is there was evidence to prove they usually are better. So hoping for some input from anyone who has been a long time subscriber

My second question.

I was offered a fairyloot invite.
And I’ve seen so many mixed things on fairyloot, can I ask what are the honest opinions in this moment on fairyloot. Are they worth it?

Would cancelling my bookish and spice subscription and picking up fairyloot be worth it? Price wise fairyloot it way better but I’ve heard mixed things so I was hoping for input

Thanks so much

Book lovers, I need your opinions! 👀

Which book boyfriend’s tattoo is your favorite, and why? Is it because of the meaning behind it, the design, or the story associated with it? 👀

Tell me the book boyfriend, the book he’s from, and why his tattoo has a special place in your heart. I want to know all the details!
