@eph__em__era @aurora_reads To be fair, sometimes they show up out of nowhere. I was reading 'A Broken Blade' which is a high-fantasy adventure and then in the last 5 pages he's graphically fingering her. Hit me like a SLAP.

@aurora_reads sex scenes are important to the narrative and often provide a lot of characterisation. if you can't read them, then don't read books with them include, cmon.

@RexSalvos @jayneiskool This and Station Eleven. It's technically dystopian sci-fi but it's much closer to lit fic than the usual sci-fi genre.

@jayneiskool If there was ever a sci-fi book to read for people who aren’t into sci-fi, this is it.

i feel like i’m missing out with everyone reading project hail mary but im not a sci-fi girl… will this book convert me ?

@jayneiskool No. Project Hail Mary is an excellent book but it's far from the space operas that lots of people associate with sci-fi. PHM is a lot more heartfelt and familial than most sci-fi stories IMO.

@ma1ybe Cillian Murphy is really going through it in Peaky Blinders huh

Men after experiencing 0.00001% of the mistreatment that women have systematically suffered since the dawn of time

@nafragous I've read a bunch of these but there's some here I've never even heard of!!! Looking them all up now.

the best shelf in the whole bookstore

@ninthfemme Librarians have your back. I loathe when people say this to me.

people thinking booksellers just get to read all day is making my eye twitch as a bookseller bc our job is extensive customer service and hard manual labor esp if you’re at a large store

@httpl0nely @pabloromerx Please read reviews instead of asking ChatGPT. Kirkus is free.

Odio que hayamos perdido la costumbre de comprar libros sin saber de qué se tratan

@Shawn_Herondale I absolutely buy things I haven't read, but probably 85% of my books are secondhand and therefore much more affordable. I'm extremely selective about the books I buy at retail for that reason.

La verdadera pregunta sería, ustedes enserió compran libros sin antes a verlo leído o al menos saber de que trata??? yo personalmente prefiero comprarlos después de a verlos leído (p3f o ep4b) por qué imagina comprártelos y después sean un asco y ya no puedas recuperar tu plata

@illumicrate Will this be available in the US shop also?

😇

one horror movie that i’d show to a non-horror person to change their mind

@geekyjenise "White culture" Girl, no

OK, if you have followed me for a long time you know that I am not racist in any way shape or form. God made all humans in His image and we are all beautiful in different ways. I am getting tired however of everyone getting rid of white culture just to be politically correct. The Odyssey is a brilliant poem written by Greeks about Greek mythology. Lupita Nyong'o has been cast as Helen of Troy, which is just another PC stupid move by Hollywood. If you took any kind of ancient literature about non-white countries that were written thousands of years ago and made one of the main characters in the movie white, everyone would throw a fit! Rightly so! That’s unrealistic and historically inaccurate. People would be burning down cities in a crazy frenzy. This is not fair. Am I saying this woman is not beautiful? I absolutely am not saying that! Lupita Nyong'o is a gorgeous woman when you see what she looks like normally and not just this picture, but she is not a Greek woman! That’s just not factual. This is an absolute insult to anyone who is Greek. This is why I don’t watch any Hollywood shows or movies for the most part anymore unless my favorite actors or actresses are in them. I personally have Nordic, Native American, Middle Eastern and Irish blood in me. I am proud of all of my family members that came from around the world, so when I see movies or shows that do the opposite of whitewashing different cultures it really annoys me. It’s just not fair and is totally disrespectful! And since it’s popular right now to hate the white man and woman, it’s almost like they’re trying to erase us as a race. I am not down with that crap. This is just so incredibly annoying.

@AuthorGFAllen She has her business and I have mine 🤷‍♀️

It’s 3am, and you see this. How do you react?

@AuthorGFAllen Already read 2 @Gregg_Olsen books this year and I just put in for his new book on NetGalley. Man is a GENIUS.

Have you ever finished a book and thought, “Okay, I’m reading everything this person writes”?

@mattvanswol That's called a "false equivalence"

So then what, exactly, what this?

5) Adelaide - Genevieve Wheeler ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 2026 reread. Magical, romantic, and life-affirming. A must-read for all young women.

4) The Hive - Gregg Olsen ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Average Lululemon sales experience Very fun, meaty true crime-style book with tons of POVs to sort through. A bit dense, but worth the effort.
