I enjoyed reading it, easy to pick up etc but I think it was after I finished it that I felt more ‘what a good book!!’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 tbh
I've kept a physical reading journal for the past eighteen years. It's interesting to look back every now and then.I know most of us are StoryGraph/Goodreads users, but do any of us keep a pen and paper reading journal?
Can I ask what fortmat you use?I've kept a physical reading journal for the past eighteen years. It's interesting to look back every now and then.
This is exactly how I feel - I can't stand CoHo but if it gets people into reading I'm all for it - it's just the content is so triggering and the idea of young girls (particularly) thinking toxic relationships are admirable worries me. Collectively there is a lot of work on social media to try and highlight this kind of toxicity and steer young people away from romanticising love bombing etc, and then you get CoHoCoho is not for me but I will defend her until my last breath if shes got you back into reading.
My only disclaimer is I believe her books should be for a mature audience only as her portrayal of toxic relationships as romantic or something to aim for is concerning and I dont like the thought of 15 / 16 / 17 year olds romanticising that bullshit.
Anything by Sarah J Maas, her world building is great and I get so invested in the relationships. I tried Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo but couldn’t get into it although lots of people love it. Her other books are supposed to be good too but haven’t tried them yet!Hi everyone!
I would love some suggestions to read in the fantasy genre. I would normally read thriller/murder mystery but looking to try something different.
I have just finished The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros and have never cried so much in my life whilst reading a book
I’ve just reserved this on audio too, I love him 🫶Has anyone read the recent Tom Hanks book? The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece?
I requested it on audio from borrow box at least 9 months ago and its finally come through 3 months early but Im just not sure I fancy it now.
If its good then I'll give it a go.
What’s wrong with this book now? I used to love bookstagram but left it because it got toxic with people having a go if you read certain books or authors. What’s wrong with just reading what you want to read!I saw something about a review boycott of Ruthless Vows but feels like it punishes the author more than the publisher. 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’m not entirely sure tbh - I think an employee of the publisher said something?! but unsure what that something was.What’s wrong with this book now?

I was watching a TikTok the other day and someone was reviewing a book…. I can’t even remember what and they basically were slating it, some comments saying it was great, others saying it was trash. Someone commented “oh no I’ve bought this and now I don’t know what to do, should I read it? What should I do?” Honestly babes it’s a book, it’s not that deep. Do you want to read it? if so read it! If it’s rubbish DNF it and stick it in the charity shopI’m not entirely sure tbh - I think an employee of the publisher said something?! but unsure what that something was.
One of things that concerns me is people don’t seem to be seeking their own info or using their own judgment, someone comments and says ‘omg there’s a review boycott’ and the poster responds saying ‘ahh I’ll remove/edit my post’. The publisher has many books.. for the author the book release is obviously a big deal and that’s being tainted for them through no fault of their own. I’m sure books like Ruthless Vows will still sell well but maybe not for smaller releases.
Apols - that got a bit ranty!
I'd like to read this mystery solving goat lol , it's like that video about the viva pinata video game, he spoke about it that much it made you want to play it hahahI was watching a TikTok the other day and someone was reviewing a book….

I mean I’ve read books about mystery solving goatsnot every book has to be Shakespeare
Don’t apologise! It just winds me up that people do things like this! And like you say, the author has nothing to do with it and they are being punished!I’m not entirely sure tbh - I think an employee of the publisher said something?! but unsure what that something was.
