Did you hear the news? The Women by Kristin Hannah is the 2024 Likewise Choice Awards winner! Knowing that this beautiful novel has touched so many of you is the best present we could have ever asked for ❤️.

Has anyone possibly read this book? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Supposedly, 1984 (by George Orwell) was inspired by this book. I'm currently reading 1984, and it definitely feels like there's missing pieces. I'm wondering if this book, We, has what 1984 is lacking.

I need some help compiling a list of the most common/popular, European origin, fantasy creatures and beings.

Looking for a campy (pun intended) read to enjoy over these quiet, end-of-year days? Take it from @librarianleah92 and consider BURY YOUR GAYS: "Wow. I guess I'm a Tingler now?... The social commentary, the horror, the meta-ness, the character development... I loved it all so much."

No judgement zone: What’s something that would immediately make you drop/stop what you’re reading? Explain why.

Just a reminder/announcement that Ashita no Joe, one of THE classics of sports manga has finally been officially translated and sold in the US. It took like 56 years but it's here!

Just started so no spoilers, any non spoiler ratings or opinions on this book?

No judgement zone: What’s a really popular manga that you can’t seem to get yourself into?

Beth Rivers needs to disappear and her only option is into—and through—the Alaskan wilderness. If you love a great mystery with an outdoorsy vibe, the next installment in Paige Shelton's Alaska Wild series is a must-read!

Any tips for reading faster??

How do you pick your next read? It’s so hard for me and please don’t just say it depends on your mood I mean something like pick a number or yk

I need to know if this has a happy ending! I’m a little less then half way through the book and I cannot deal with another heartbreak right now.

Has anybody heard of this? Read it? It sounds pretty good. But I couldn't get a sense of what kind of fantasy it is. Is it cozy? Is it romance heavy?

Is the Throne of Glass series worth reading? I read the first 2 and loved them but the 3rd has been a bore for me. I'm 66% of the way though it. Is it worth it to continue reading the series??

I’m not quite finished with this book, so no spoilers please. What do you think of some of the characters? Vivi seems amazing, Grey also seems amazing, and Iris is just great. Feel free to share your opinions, just please don’t reveal the plot.

Has anyone read this book? I just finished it and would love to discuss. Also have some questions I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts on.

In your opinion which Witcher book is the best? And at what point does it start to go down hill?

Random but should I get on Goodreads? I use Storygraph a lot and love their stats and content warning features. Goodreads seems like it has a couple good features, like the lists and telling you how many people are 'currently reading' a book. What are y'all's opinions ?

Does anyone know if this book as spice in it and in the books after it?? And if there is black magic and romance in it??? Thanks!

I’m thinking about getting this book. Is this book good? Should I get it?

Still have some last-minute gift shopping to do? We get it—this time of year is HECTIC—and we want to help. Tell us in the comments who you still need to buy for and we'll recommend a book. (Phrasing your question like, "My cousin who is obsessed with video games," will help us a ton!)

Just finished Crown Of Midnight. I liked it but I felt like I was getting bored. Do I keep going with the series does it get better?!

Is the Zodiac Academy worth reading? I like the bully romance but I hate the borderline physical a*use trope.

Is the Zodiac Academy worth the read? I've heard that it's a little boring to begin with. I like the bully romance but not the almost physical a*use trope.

Is The Priory of the Orange Tree worth it? I'm thinking about getting the book.

Hello everyone!!! Is here any spice of content warnings for this book???#fantasy

I have never read Emily Henry, but I just picked up both Beach Read and Book Lover. I’m not sure which one to start first. Any recommendations?

In pieces over this book. Any others like it??

If you want to cry, read this book! 😭 It’s an incredible book, but is sad throughout the story and follows the life of a boy starting Highschool and dealing with different problems he’s having.

By far one of the most devastating books I’ve ever read in my life.

Currently diving into the first book of the Zodiac Academy series, and while I’m enjoying it, I can’t stand how awful everyone in Solaria is to the girls—especially the heirs! I knew it would have this vibe, but it’s hard to push through all the cruelty (and the secondhand embarrassment is real). I’m about halfway through and torn on whether to keep going. Does it get better? Is the rest of the series worth it? Let me know what you guys think!

Any zodiac academy fans?! I flew through the first few. Currently half way through book 5. Holy hell this series🫠 #zodiacacademy

Ok. I’m all for some good tension and suspense. But people. I’m on BOOK SIX. There has to be a positive climax at some point! Preferably by book two or fucking three! I’m starting to lose interest. Can anyone give me a reason to keep going? Because I’m legit about to google when people finally end up together. #itstoomuch #zodiacacademy #dariusandtory #enemiestolovers #fantasyromance

I haven’t been able to find a book to warm my cold, black heart in a while, but this one is good! I think if you enjoy “Beach Read” and “Get a life, Chloe Brown,” you’ll enjoy this book. It follows Alison that hears her ex boyfriend has sadly passed away, while at the funeral she learns that he never told his family that they broke up. Trying to save face, she allows them to think they were still together, and worse, tries to help them pack up his apartment…with his grumpy best friend.

Don't miss your chance to grab this new, exclusive deluxe edition of Heartsong by TJ Klune! Pssst: featuring beautiful red sprayed edges, a holographic cover, and a bonus short story, this also makes an amazing gift. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250890429/heartsong/

Is the Throne of Glass series worth reading? I read the first 2 and loved them but the 3rd has been a bore for me. I'm 66% of the way though it. Is it worth it to continue reading the series??

If the winter blues have started creeping in, a cozy mystery set in Georgia might be just what you need! Featuring a bookstore housed in a Victorian mansion, a creepy late night caller, and gazebo set aflame? Sounds to die for!

I’ve finished the second book and am so immersed in the A Court of Thornes series that I’m already dreading the end of the series. Are the other series by Sarah J. Maas as good? Is there any other Romantasy series that is as good?

From the author of Boyfriend Material comes a deeply emotional new romance about second chances, healing, and finding love where you least expect it. If you love LGBTQIA+ stories that are as swoony as they are thought-provoking, definitely don’t miss this gem!
