I picked up a book and on the second page I saw, “the angels told me to go to the left” and I was immediately done.

I can handle religion, but I don’t want to read about it in a book. The book wasn’t even labeled as inspirational or religious so I skimmed through it and everything was about God.

And gore. I can’t stomach it.

Is there a group that focuses on science books specifically on Reddit?

I was homeschooled and enjoy reading and learning new things. I live in the country and don’t get to meet many new people so books are a way for to learn more about a topic.

What are some hobbies other homeschoolers have related to books?

I served in the military and have a desire to slowdown and read a book but I am on guard most of the time so I don’t read much. I hope one day I will find a safe space where I fill comfortable reading.

I’ve been looking for a subscription service that lets me read as many books as I want without running into extra costs. Most services seem to have limits—Audible requires credits for premium books, Kindle Unlimited doesn’t include major bestsellers, and Scribd sometimes restricts access if you read too much.

Is there any platform that offers a truly all-you-can-read experience for ebooks and audiobooks, without hidden restrictions or additional purchases?

If you've tried different services, what’s the best option for unlimited reading?

Hii! I just found out my book club is the week of Nov. 3, so I want to do a Dia de los Muertos theme. Anyone know any good books with Dia de los Muertos as a main part of the book? Thanks in advance :)

Hi ! I wonder how many Time did you read the same Book ? And why ?

A FINE BALANCE, by Rohinton Mistry

I never know whether or not to read the prologue. Sometimes it doesn't matter and sometimes it spoils the story.

Does any one have a recommendation for this particular book?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings beautiful people, I need some help! Since recently I have been doing essays and reading only journals and textbooks, I can not go back to my routine reading which was usually 4 to 5 books per week. I was wondering if you could help me to get out of this stupid reader's block. Any book suggestions or tips. Thank you XXX

FAILED but will see next time.

Even with the most interesting books I seem to have issues remembering what I’ve read like the next day. I find note taking distracting because I’m so focused on what I should/shouldn’t include in my notes. Any tips?

My sister and I found ourselves stuck in a reading rut in 2024—not exactly a slump where we weren’t reading at all, but rather, we kept reaching for the same genre: romance. To break free from the monotony and add some excitement to our reading lives, we decided to embark on a reading challenge for 2025. The idea was inspired by a fun list I found on Pinterest, and now we’re committed to completing it together!

So far, I’ve already checked off two prompts, but this challenge is more than just about me—it’s about building a community of readers who can encourage, inspire, and celebrate with us along the way. If you love books, new adventures, and the thrill of crossing off reading goals, I’d love for you to join us in making this year a literary journey to remember! Let’s motivate each other and discover stories outside our usual comfort zones. Are you in?

The one we are doing-

1. A book with a person's name in the title
2. A non-fiction book
3. A book with a color in the title
4. A classic
5. A book with a single word title
6. A mystery book
7. A children's chapter book
8. A book with an animal in the title
9. A book with a profession in the title
10. A sci-fi book
11. A fantasy book
12. A book with a verb in the title
13. A book with a Christmas theme
14. A book with a body part in the title
15. A book that takes place in a foreign country
16. A book with an article of clothing in the title
17. A book of poetry
18. A biography or account of something/someone from history
19. A book with a cover that doesn't appeal to you
20. A book that doesn't sound interesting to you (try it anyway)

• 21. A book with a hid on the cocon 22. A book with a flower on the cover 23. A book that takes place in medieval times • 24. A book that takes place in modern times

I’ve got so many book which I’m interested in but it’s either I end up by not reading them or leaving them in the middle even though they’re actually good!

I have an idea for a story, but no matter how I twist and turn it, it'll probably be a tragedy. I know some people specifically seek out sad stories, but what is it with these stories that captivate you?

Idk wht to say nd where to start. This book made my heart so heavy, I was literally sobbing like a child. At first i thought i wouldn't like it but here I'm talking bout it. I'm still in shock like wtf Dustin Thao wrote!! 🫶🏽

Hello I was wondering if there was anyone out there who recovered from meningitis and likes to read. What do you do to sit down and help you focus and read ?

I hope you all have a good day and take the time to tune out the world and read a chapter.

So like back probably in 4th or 5th grade when I was 10-12 I read a book from the school library that scared the living crap out of me and now I have a crazy urge to read it but I CANNOT remember the name 😭 From what I remember I think it was a book with multiple scary stories in it, but I only remember one. It was of this boy that accidentally drowned his sister in a pond behind his house and he went to swim in it later and something grabbed his leg and it was his sister??? At some point there was a picture of the thing that pulled him down that haunted my nightmares. I could not look at any type of puddle, pond, lake, or water in general for a hot second. I don’t remember the name but I remember either the cover was white or the pictures or something else but I specifically remember white. I really want to read this book again but I cannot remember. Please help 😭🙏

So im on the last few pages of the book "if he had been with me" and omg I keep putting it down because I cannot bare the outcome!! Ahh anyone else read the book and if so what are your thoughts???

Hi, people! I’m on a mission to find the ideal light for cozy and comfortable reading sessions. I’m super sensitive to bright, harsh lights... Anything too strong makes me feel like I’m auditioning for an interrogation scene in a movie.

So, what’s your go-to lighting setup for a warm, soothing vibe that’s easy on the eyes? Do you have a favorite lamp, bulb, or secret trick to keep things cozy without sacrificing visibility?

Bonus points if it makes my reading nook feel like a little magical hideaway. Thanks in advance!

I want to get into reading!! Now don’t attack me when I say this, but I really don’t like fiction books.. especially any romance.

What are your favourite types of books that aren’t fiction?

Hi I'm just looking for good Hero/villan books I would love any suggestions you guys have thank you in advance!!!

I love reading but I can’t motivate myself to do it as much as I’d like to, I could read in the morning or at noon but I feel so pressed by time that I don’t dare do it and just spend time on my phone then. I only read about 1H~1H30 everynight before going to bed and I feel like it’s not enough to reach my reading goals Help :(

So long story short I’ve accidentally been listening to the second book in the divergent series, I was listening to a supposed complete collection even though it really isn’t I’m wondering if I continue to read the story or start the first before I finish this one I’m last half done

Hi, looking for books that are creepy, weird, trippy, and highlights ethical issues (like duplicating someone after their death, the dating simulation, etc).

Also, San Junipero made me so sad bc old lesbian grandma love. Any books like you make you feel the same way?

Thanks for your suggestions!

So, I'm looking to become a better reader.

In my experience, I can read moderately well, but gathering the information and processing and genuinely understanding it is where I lack.

I'm currently trying to gain an academic level, acquiring my CAEC (Canadian adult education credential) which requires reading quite a lot in all of the high school typical classes. but I find trying to interpret paragraphs or reads very difficult.

I often find myself focusing more on being able to read the words versus interpreting its information.

If anyone has any advice, information or know any helpful tools it would be greatly appreciated 🙏
