I lay on my side and lodge it against a cushion
I do this too! Although I have been looking at new beds this weekend so wondering if my bed upgrade should also include the Kindle set up and I should invest in a stand and page turner.

i have also this morning done something i said i would never do and have purchased a kindle 🥰

i’m still going to buy “real” paperbacks as much as i can, waterstones isn’t getting rid of me that easily, but i’m finding hardbacks so cumbersome to read these days (unless it’s a book i’m really invested in) so it will be for new releases and all those spicy kindle romances that are never in actual paperbacks yay 🥳
What a day!

I do love a hardback but more for the look and feel than to actually read, although saying that I do like not having to worry about cracking the spine 🤔
I’m hoping Alchemised goes on a 99p Kindle deal, I’m 60% through but it’s just so cumbersome I can’t read it comfortably for long.

i was going to buy alchemised for nostalgia but i can’t imagine being able to physically even hold it to read. i love a chunky book but it is almost obnoxiously chunky when released from ao3 🤣

i really want the elena ferrante complete edition because it’s beautiful but also look at it, i can’t lift that 🤣

I have a stand but I can never get it in the right position - a cushion is much easier 🙈

I have to rest it on a cushion, it’s ridiculous! I really should prioritise finishing it before it’s too much effort to get back in to. I’m guessing that it’ll go on a kindle deal when I’m 50 pages from the end.

Ooh that’s a veerryyy nice edition 👀 a 100% shelf trophy chunk!

I have one of those holder thingys that clip on stuff so i had i clipped to my headboard but it's really hard to move it and get it in the right position. Haven't actually used it or the page turner for months. Tbh i should probably get back to the holder so i can raise my kindle and look straight at it cause my neck is always stiff from looking down on my phone then at the kindle in the evenings 😅

Could anybody who has read Britt Marie Was Here summarise what happend between these pages please? Gutted!
I wouldsend that picture to the publisher and ask them that question. In my past they'll send you a new copy. I have had it happen twice, once with a collection of poetry and the other with Narnia.

How annoying.

After umming and ahhing for days I caved and bought the ‘A Heart for Christmas’ advent book!! Has anyone else bought it?

I couldn’t resist the French Alps / chalet in a ski resort theme. Although I’ve not really read much YA fiction so not sure what to expect there.

I have recently finished reading ‘I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokpokki’- i had been reading it on and off for a few weeks in between other books- more of a journal than a book, i thought it was good, some Parts really reasonated with me, if you have functional depession, you would totally understand some points of the book

was really sad to hear the author had passed away 😞 shame she couldnt overcome her depression

Even on vinted people are selling it for £15 before fees! Amazon was £18.40 and I had £3.01 left of my £5 voucher. I wonder if it will go down in price once we hit December.
