i really didn’t like atmosphere (tjr’s writing only very rarely works for me though, she’s so pushy in what she wants the reader to feel) - if you don’t like space i can tell you that part only gets worse!
Oh no! I’m reading it for my book club so I’ll have to persevere. It’s so tedious at the moment for me 😑

Only found the new thread 7 pages in! I had a lot of fun catching up last night, you guys are very funny 😁

So thankful to have a day of no plans. Currently reading The Accomplice by SC. Started the new full cast HP yesterday (incredibly immersive!) and have The Husbands by HG to start, borrowed from the library.

Oh the joy this brings me 🤩

I’m not a space fan so this book really didn’t do it for me. I had to look past (ahem, skim read) those parts & focus on the human relationships, problems of the era & I settled into it. I think if you can do that you’ll make it to the end 😄 Good luck!

Not yet! I got it a while ago after reading a review that praised how the author wrote about sex. Have you?
I have! Planned to space it out a bit from Almost Life as similar premise but my paperback pre-order dropped through the letterbox a couple of weeks ago, I read the first page (I tend to do this when I get new books) and got sucked in.

Ooooooh, and? How does it compare to Almost Life? I thought that was beautifully written but I was bored in places and willing it to be over by the end.

Piggybacking off @Harlot O'Scara's hard work and made a List Challenges version of the list! https://www.listchallenges.com/book-threads-favourite-books

(One of my favourite time-wasting sites, but I made a new profile for this for privacy! Also was vague on the description so we don't attract visitors)
This is great! Loved seeing all the covers - felt it really showed the variety in the books that were chosen. Also reminded me of several that I started and gave up on which made me laugh that I clearly disliked them but others loved (Remarkably Bright Creatures I’m looking at you!).

Omg this must have taken forever to do! Thanks so much. It was a lot of fun to go through them all. I had to refer to Goodreads a few times to check if I’d read a few, shockingly. Impressed by my stats 🤣

I went out of my comfort zone and decided to read this YA book. Sadly it wasn't for me and I DNFed it.

After the success of Bookouture month in July last year I have decided to do it again only this time I will be doing it a month earlier.

What is this Bookouture of which you speak? Googling has done nothing but confuse me
