I probably wouldn’t read coho now but the tiktok hype definitely played a part in getting me reading again! agree about her portrayal of toxic relationships for sure but don’t think it’s all bad that has come from her hype.

Thank you so much
I know most of us are StoryGraph/Goodreads users, but do any of us keep a pen and paper reading journal?
Not me, I use Goodreads and just started Bookmory, was mentioned on this thread so took a look and liked what I saw!
Totally agree with this and was discussing it with a friend recently. I don’t think that fiction books should be showing healthy relationships only (far from it) but gritty/real inclusion of tricky relationships is so different to CoHo’s romanticisation. Reminders of Him made me ranty.

I started one last year but got a bit behind!
Yes! A book is a book, everyone has different tastes. No one is right or wrong. Booktok takes the fun out of it because heaven for fend you should enjoy a book others didn’t.
I personally loved House in The Cerulean Sea but according to booktok that makes me the devil! No I just enjoyed the book
I also absolutely hated the Midnight Library but don’t tell booktok that
Ahh that was me I’ve started using Bookmory
I don't like Matt Haig generally but I really liked the sound of this, read it and was bored to tearsI also absolutely hated the Midnight Library but don’t tell booktok that
I didn’t even finish it. My toddler at the time ripped the covers off and at one stage put it in the binI don't like Matt Haig generally but I really liked the sound of this, read it and was bored to tears
he was trying to tell me something 
I suffer so bad with FOMO that it even makes me want to read the books you all found truly dreadful
For what feels like the first time in years, I'm very proud of my restraint today! Finally took my son shopping with his Christmas money, ventured into Waterstones and after browsing and skimming different titles for almost an hour, I left with nothing 
I'm trying very hard to do a no spend January and also trying very hard to not buy any new books myself this year as I have over 250 on my kindle and around 30-40 physical books, but I never thought I'd leave Waterstones empty handed

I saw a few people telling others off for posting about the book on X, like you said - feels a bit like an opportunity to belittle others rather than make any real difference.
I need to cancel my Audible before the trial runs out and have 1 credit left to use. Any recommendations? I love thrillers, crime fiction, non-fiction depending on the subject but willing to try other genres.
I have gone to Bookmory, looks good but how do you actually make an account?
i’ve started none of this is true on audio and am loving the narration 
really does feel like your listening to a true crime podcast at points, can see it being one of my favourite audiobooks already! i’ve listened to 3 hours worth today

Glad it’s good!i’ve started none of this is true on audio and am loving the narration
I’ve already read this and loved it otherwise I would use my Audible credit on it!i’ve started none of this is true on audio and am loving the narration
I think there was a companion podcast to go with the book but not sure if it’s still available.
Oh dear. I am halfway through Remarkably Bright Creatures and am finding it entirely fine. A very gentle easy read but nothing of note. I’m waiting to fall in love! Does it pick up or is this it?
Mhmm Id say this is it. Ive said before I found it hard to believe it was my book of the year tbh
but it was.it’s perfectly pleasant company right now , love the short chapters, and I am certainly enjoying it more than the Booker winners I abandoned. But I reckon my expectations were just impossibly high. Entirely your fault tbhMhmm Id say this is it. Ive said before I found it hard to believe it was my book of the year tbh
