Hello, fellow bibliophiles!...
Despite the age of consent in Mississippi being 16, no one under the age of 18 will have access to digital materials made available through public and school libraries without explicit parental/guardian permission....
Here is my embarrassing list....
I see many 4.5 to 5 star fantasy books. I get excited and read about them only to find out they are really just “romance” or smut type books. Grrr....

I’ve been on a spy fiction kick recently- I really enjoyed the recent The Man from UNCLE movie and I Expect You to Die video game. I’m looking for some novels that are in a similar vein (classic 60s spy versus an egomaniac villain out to take over the world). However, I cannot stand the sexism in Ian Fleming’s books....
Certainly! Here’s a markdown-compatible list of sci-fi books along with their Goodreads review links:...

Deeply intimate and political work that earned the French writer the Nobel Prize for literature last October. Ernaux spoke to France 24’s Fatimata Wane at the Taormina book festival in Sicily, where she was among...
While I’ve always been a big fan of fantasy, I’ve often stayed away from certain areas (like D&D books) as they can get waay too campy waaay too fast, but these books are just great!...
I m thinking about reading a book from Kafka....
Specifically how the deaths of so many of our soldiers affected families and communities.

What books/comics/mangas etc. Did you read in June?
When I have to start reading a book I want to know if it’s good or garbage, so I like to read some reviews. I don’t trust Goodreads, are there some alternatives?
I saw that there were no posts in this community so I thought I’d try to kick things off with a recommendation!...
I’m looking for an eReader that doesn’t lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work....
