ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Dana, and here are some facts about me: - I was born in 1997 - I’m British and German (my mum is German) - I have had an ileostomy since 2020 from Crohn’s disease - I have 2 Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers: Juno and Gaia - I am a beauty lover. I’m very much skin first with soft and… read more

Book lovers, are you more into fiction or non-fiction?

Also, what's the first book you'd always recommend to a new reader?

Certified reader

Tell me the first novel/book that made you a reader.

Never enough!

The struggle of preferring physical copies over ebooks is a universal experience for me as an avid reader, who often feel that digital reading lacks the tangible connection of a real book. While ebooks offer unmatched convenience, owning the physical paper copy feels like a true commitment, a… read more

Reading slump help !

I've been an avid reader my whole life, I don't know what happened to me these last years I no longer enjoy reading, even if I start reading a book it feels like I'm pushing through a wall, I feel so fed up and tired to continue reading. Did that happen to you? Can you please suggest some… read more

Readers

If you’re a reader what are you currently reading?

📚

Genuine question, as a book reader, would you stop reading/supporting the work of an author when you find out that they are 'indicated' as Zionist/problematic, or would it not matter at all as long as the book is pretty good? No 🧂

Exciting to be Ghost Hunting this weekend at a local cemetery! 👻

Time to whip out the dowsing rods, EMF reader, Spirit Box and Voice Recorder! Suspected poltergeist activities so will be bringing out the big guns If I no longer post after this weekend, assume I have been dragged into a portal to the other side (i hope they have cookies!)

Tender is the flesh

Finally finished my Halloween read (yes I'm a slow reader) my first dip into the splatter punk genre and hate to admit I kinda enjoyed it! Definitely recommend but not for the faint of heart.

Not a reader, but I’m learning ✨

Books that I've been reading lately...

Might be harsh but the meaning depends on the reader.

Treat yourself like someone you're responsible for helping.

I'll start off by saying that my posts are not AI, I just enjoy writing. But who cares. No one is coming to help you. It's so easy to say, and it seems you have friends, family, people who care for you. Yet there are still 24 hours per day, when you're alone in your own mind, trapped inside the… (edited) read more

Good Reads anyone?

Very few of my friends seem to be using Good Reads any more. They're either using other apps or just leaving reading apps all together. I personally love Good Reads. I've already met my reading goal of 20 books. As a slow reader I'm very proud of myself! Does anyone use the app?

Too many people romanticize being the one who "never gave up''

People today aren't looking for a partner anymore. They're holding auditions for a fictional character that doesn't exist. They expect perfection in every category... looks, personality, career, confidence, emotional intelligence, humor, loyalty, excitement, mystery... all wrapped into one person… read more

Anyone interested in studying tarot together? :)

I wanted to do an in depth study of each cards in tarot and was wondering if anyone want to study together and exchange knowledge? ^_^ Also wanted to meet more fellow tarot reader friends!

Ripples in soliloquies

As ink descends upon the page, it lands like a breath, a deliberate kiss - an oath whispered to self beneath the dim lantern of human experience. The writer begins with imperfection, shaping fractured soliloquies from the fainted breath and trembling hush of self discovery. Each prose unfurling… read more

I want a mind reader ...so I don't need to say anything but he understand 😅😅 (edited)

New read

Can anyone recommend me a sci-fi book? Possibly space horror? Or maybe even a dark fantasy? Just no series please, I'm not a fast reader lol

My Little Books Collection 📚

I recently discovered a new hobby—collecting books and, sometimes, actually reading them. 😅 I’m a slow reader, so I usually read when I’m in the mood or when I find a book that really catches my interest. Surprisingly, this hobby has helped me a lot in unwinding, reflecting, and simply enjoying… read more

A gift

As an avid reader, this might be one of the greatest gifts I've ever received. At first I thought, "Is this really useful?" However, my skepticism disappeared the first night I used it. Aside from the books themselves, it's not easy to find something to give a reader as a gift, is it? By the way,… read more

Tarot Reader?

I just want to know if I will be rich these year 2026. Seriously 😒, I am tired of working 40 hours of week.

Reaction to Trans People

I remember when i was a kid and the big issue was gay marriage - whether it was “reasonable” for gay people to want to have marriages recognized by their government and I really struggled to understand why it mattered so much. Not on the gay marriage side but on the opposing side. Why did they care… (edited) read more

Communication is everything. Stop expecting your man to understand conversations you’ve never had out loud. He’s your partner, not a mind reader.

Where are you guys?

I'm sad, cause I'm a reader yet I can't see any new post here. Where's the wattpaders in this world???

currently reading

Throwing it out there from the start that books are a HUGE part of my life. My person doesn’t have to BE a reader, but for so long I’ve been made to feel like it’s not okay, when I’m always trying to find MORE ways to love books and the community — heck, I work at the library so that should seem… read more

Hooked on a good book

Stayed up WAAAAYYYY too late reading this. A bit over halfway and I don't want to put it down. 😍 Hits all the right boxes as a reader: intriguing storyline, a nice "will they or won't they" trope, great world building, action with a dash of danger. LGTBQIA+ sprinkled in nicely as well. It's YA… read more

Who wants to fanboy over men kissing with me 😞

I’m a big time collector and reader of bl/yaoi novels including merchandice and I need someone to share it with. I feel like there is hardly anyone around me who shares the same interest in these things as I do. I never get to really talk about my collection and my interest with people and it… read more

Too much haters 😤

Never met any female reader Are there any ?

Physical or digital?

Do you prefer to read your books in physical form or digitally, like an e-book reader for example, or your phone/tablet? I personally love my kindle, it's so convenient to have all of the books with me and not needing a wheelbarrow to move them around.

▪️

If someone lists The Little Prince or Harry Potter among their favourite books, I immediately know they’re not a real reader.

I am a reader.

I am a reader. And not in a “books make me morally superior or automatically wise” way. But in a “I have needed other people’s sentences to tell me that a private experience was shared, a family rule had a history, a choice I envied had a cost, and the life I knew was only one way a life could be… read more

Best books

"Surrounded by Fools" is considered one of the most prominent books in the field of understanding personalities and human communication, as it presents, in a simple and enjoyable style, a method that helps the reader understand the differences in people's natures and ways of thinking.

Thank-cute 🎀🧚🏼‍♀️🎼😻☠️👯‍♀️🫀🙏

Facts and figures: friends on here helped me to be a Tarot reader 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Reflections on Freedom – Diary Fragment, 2026

Everyone, whether they want to or not, of their own will or another's, accepts a role which they then allow to shape their reality. Everything thus submits to them, or even to their surroundings. Is it perhaps a comfort that people have managed, through the creation of roles, systems, and social… read more

The Fisherman by John Langan (mini review)

Published in 2016, this modern attempt within the cosmic horror genre blends existential dread, the experience of loss and grief, and the supernatural horrors that lie beneath the thin veils of our reality. While fishing is certainly a subject of focus, Langan draws on the hobby and the endless… (edited) read more

Funny idea

I wanna write my character X Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice stuff so bad after I read a story where the reader was ta time traveler and met him. But its funny because instead of her getting time traveled its his ass getting isekai'd to the current time period. The absolute gong show it would be… (edited) read more
