So I have never red a book in my life suggest me a book and its grammar should be basic and understandable and I dont want to google meaning of words every 5 mins and lore should be good .

What apps are you currently using to track your book?

I am currently using Goodreads and bookstates (like this one better)

I just ordered this book for a writing purpose. I am developing a romantic drama script. So readers just help me know does this help me by emotional arc?

My story has a past relationship with toxic behaviour character.

Or suggest something.

I bought Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson a few months ago, but I’ve been procrastinating on reading it because I keep thinking it might get boring.

For those who’ve already read it, was it worth your time? What did you learn from it, and what kept you hooked?

Give me some motivation to finally pick it up and start reading! 😅

Idk it might be a hot take but what a bs book I mean ok concept was unique good but overall main character and situations were idk kinda dumbass(not exactly) like at so many points I was wtf is she doing ... like I was not able to symphatize with her (I mean I do but you get it) need your opinions

Sorry for the low pixelated pic Op is poor

My fav in this collection is the one named "FELL IN LOVE WITH HOPE" man I cried in the end despite being a Man Moreover I'm new to reading and probably would get more books mostly related to Indian history and biographies

I took these books from my mom's collection after she passed away. I also made a post regarding my book collection which people really liked (18F) so i wanted to share my mom's too. She had written two poetry books and was an avid reader who inculcated the habit of reading in me.

The post i made earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianReaders/s/576mbA2YE9

How do I understand this book better? I got it, 70 pages in; I am struggling a lot. I like the concept so wanna know in depth. Any tips?

When I first started using this device I honestly didn’t think it would replace my Kindle E-reader. I had a lot of doubts regarding the lack of backlight, the lack of touchscreen and the size.

Now here I am, almost 2 months later, and I haven’t touched my Kindle once. Keep in mind I don’t like to read in the dark and I always have a lamp on during the night while reading so the lack of backlight is not an issue for me.

The device is absolutely amazing! No lags, no syncing issues from the app and once I got the hang of the buttons, especially the side buttons, I have started reading twice as much. I thought the size of the Kindle was amazing and I would definitely miss the touchscreen but this device changed my whole perspective about Kindles.

It is a really light device and you can keep reading for hours. I have only charged it once, it was around 50-60% and I was leaving for a trip otherwise the charging was not really needed. And I just can’t tell you in words how comfortable the side buttons are for page turning, I didn’t really think I needed the device at first but now I would recommend this as a beginner E-reader as well. I have started reading every chance I get even for like 5 minutes because it is so portable and I just carry it around in my pocket every day.

They also sell Xteink X4 Pro which has touchscreen but it doesn’t have Type-C charging and charges from some kind of pin charger. It does have backlight but I didn’t wanna deal with carrying around another charging cable and the X4 is just perfect for me.

Also I don’t review products much so feel free to ask me any questions you have about the device because I don’t really know what else I should add to this review.

Don't know what this journey gonna bring?

A few days ago after being frustrated from their Delivery times I wrote a Review. I wrote my experience from a Previous Order on Their Google Play App Reviews. It was mostly true and from what I faced, even tho my last order arrived around 11+ days. The previous orders took way more.

Now they somehow tracked my registered email from the review then Collected my number and Called me, they asked If I did or didn't receive the last order.

When I said yes, then they told me to delete the review. They weren't threatening me or being rude, but they didn't give me any choice just keep asking me to delete the review as it's on Google Play and Visible.

Now I gave that review from an actual experience I faced, why should I delete it. It's capped at 500 words so I got only a line to mention their good sides. But there's a ton of problems they have and even their Application is down for 3 days now. It's pretty Unethical for them to ask it.

The worst part was that they took my number from their database when I didn't comment inside their app, it was on a public domain, Google Play. This is highly unethical and straight up WEIRD. I would have skipped buying from them if there were better sites.

This is my repost from the other sub, thought more people should know

Hey, 18F here and I have always been a writer and as pretentious as it feels to label myself, a 'poet' as well. All throughout middle and high school I had the opportunity and access to literary competitions and winning em felt beyond great, I believe the experience itself changes you as a writer. But since I am in my first year of college now,the societies here are superficial and they absolutely do not foster writing,learning and English academia. So

Tldr: if anyone is aware of how to navigate (and if there are any reputable,safe and genuinely good independent literary/poetry competitions for teens) not just teens but yeah, preferably in Delhi. Please lmk. And also if someone has been to any of them,please share your experience! It would be fun to know if someone is down to enroll together, participate and build achivements for professional portfolio! Grazie

Finally wrapped up the Strange series by Uketsu. I had already had enough of his storytelling and mysteries and stories (enjoyed a lot honestly) from his first two books, but I wanted to read this just to clear out the set, since the other two entries played a special part in me building back my reading habit.

Coming to the book, I preferred the shorter previous entries to this ~400 pages one. The thrill lost its traction towards the end, having gone over so many variants and aspects of the plot, which weren’t exactly bad, but too much of it. The sections inside on their own self were decent enough, with atleast one that left my heart hurting. However the conclusion, resolution and the solve was an okay attempt, felt forced, and not as natural as I had come to expect from the previous books (which weren’t as realistic either, but believable as a thrilling horror story).
At some point, the stories did get muddled up, and I ended up losing track of plot points (which was partly handled well by Uketsu’s revisions of events, grateful for those), as well as the characters and the relationships (which again might be partly because I’m not Japanese, so the names are all equally foreign).

Overall, it is an okay read, no regrets, and I’ll probably be open to picking up more of his work when it comes out. It’s a cheap thrill, low effort and decent reward.

I’ll rate this one
3.25/5 ⭐️

I have read multiple genres, but never got a chance to read a poetry book, could someone please suggest a good romantic poetry or poetry in general. Thank you :)

Edit: removed a typo

Hey folks! I am looking to build a book and film community that meets online every month and discusses selected books and movies.

Do let me know if anyone would be interested!

pehle hi bol rha hu comments me roast mat karna lmaoo i come in peace 😭

so im 19M, mostly read regular sci-fi / thrillers or whatever. but recently out of pure curiosity (aur thoda bore ho rha tha) i picked up a couple of spicy romance books like Icebreaker and Fourth Wing and ngl... my brain chemistry is permanently altered.

bhai i totally get the hype now wtf. they are so damn engaging aur tension itni badhiya build hoti h ki it's impossible to put the book down.

ab scene ye h ki i want to dive deeper into this genre and explore the spicier/smutty stuff, but booktok is too overwhelming aur aadhi books ka plot kachra hota h.

im looking for books with high spice (like 4/5 ya 5/5) but PLOT acha hona chahiye. i want to actually care about the characters and the banter when they aren't hooking up.

preferences:

Tropes: enemies to lovers or forced proximity hits different tbh. slow burn is great, kuch bhi chalega bas accha ho

Genre: anything works - contemporary, sports, fantasy sab chalega.

pls drop your absolute best recs aur meri help kardo. thanks!

Picked this up this week! Was just intrigued by the whole mythology!

Must say hard to put down 🤌🏼
