Is there any book app on iOS that allows Face ID or Passlock?...

Writing a Good Bad Guy in Books (In Fact any media) is the “classic choice” sometimes they are really poorly made, and don’t work. Other times, they are loved so much that when the character was only added to kill the hero, they end up becoming an Icon

Loved the Embers of Illeniel series and I’m really digging where Phil Tucker’s Immortal Great Souls series is going, and I’m looking for more. I like the progression elements of a weak/underpowered MC growing into a powerhouse over the course of the story, and I REALLY like said powerhouse using that strength to pay back...

After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can’t focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I’m thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else....

Recently there was kind of a discussion, with one user being a bit mean towards the other regarding the latter posting a link to Amazon....

I’ve just finished Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam and was incredibly impressed. I haven’t read anything in a while that captures what it might actually be like faced with the collapse of society....

I’m rereading Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children because I learned there are 3 new books (well, new for me) that I’m planning to read next.

i need because Mcgraw system for reading the book sucks cheeks.

I have a lot of time to fill with audio, but audiobooks are challenging for me because I have trouble paying attention consistently enough and processing physical descriptions fast enough to keep up with the narrator. I end up losing my place or having to rewind a lot. Slowing down playback doesn’t help/introduces other...

I am reading Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined and i was wondering if there are other books that have a similar love story/development of their relationship, I don’t care if the story is about vampires, i am just interested in the romance but I prefer a fantasy background if possible

This book is definitely more enjoyable than the previous one (Fortune’s Favorites) probably because the plot is more streamlined and well paced. The focus of the narrative is more on political intrigue rather than military campaigns, making it more interesting than previous books, in my opinion. Caesar comes across as...

I have a pretty bad memory when it comes to remembering the appearances of characters in books, usually because it’s mentioned once or twice and then mostly just briefly throughout the book again....

Certainly! Here’s a markdown-compatible list of sci-fi books along with their Goodreads review links:...

I used to be an avid reader, but years of high school and depression completely ruined that. I haven’t been able to complete a novel since senior year six years ago. It’s frustrating to me and I want to know how I can overcome my lack of focus and anxiety. I’ve heard I’m not alone when it comes to this sort of thing at...

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 heavily debating which of the two, I should purchase....

Preferably a structured graphic guides to initiate the habit. Fantastic if we can store the book for about 20 yrs in a bookshelf. Thank you.

Hi to all the community, a month ago bought a Fire tablet and installed KO Reader to work (more often to highlight ideas in the books). My doubt is, how can I configure to save the highlight parts while I’m working? Only find the possibility of exit from the document to save …

Neil Gaiman announced the Neverwhere sequel back in '17, and the last news I’ve been able to find is it’s delayed as of 2020. Is there any news I’ve missed since then? I’m pretty stoked about going back to that world for more.

I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it. It’s not quite as full-featured as The Storygraph or Goodreads but it covers all of the most important functionalities and it’s federated which I appreciate. Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie....

“Piracy” here is used in the context of books and all sorts of manuscripts....

I started a new campaign after many many years and the setting is so beautiful, tropical island fighting pirates who’s business is drugs and human trafficking

I m thinking about reading a book from Kafka....
