Litsy

I just learned about this app and that it gives you a little Myers-Briggs reading personality! Are there any littens on Fable? What are your thoughts? I love trying new book apps, even though Litsy will always be #1 🥰

MsRadioSilence I‘m on Fable! I like that it tracks how many days I‘ve read, and what I‘ve read, and all the communities on it! It seems easier to interact with people, and also have folks interact with your reviews, than Goodreads and Storygraph. Honestly, reminds me a LOT of Litsy, minus the pictures. 1d

MsRadioSilence Also I really appreciated the team‘s response to the backlash from earlier this year (TLDR, they were using gen AI without users‘ knowledge, and when confronted about it, took it down, apologized, and have taken steps to better their site — i.e. hired real people to write the meyers-briggs type stuff — without using stolen artwork and words) 1d

Cupcakesbookishreviews I love Fable! 22h

Roary47 I really like Fable in being able to express thoughts on a scene you are reading without spoiling it for the others in the group who aren‘t there yet. It alerts you on when someone comments on your thoughts so you can continue the discussion. @Littlewolf1 and I have a group for horror and another group for fantasy reads. I‘m also in a group with @AsYouWish if you want to join one of those. 🥰💛 22h

Aconight Fable is fantastic! Loving the new BookAura feature. 20h

5feet.of.fury I‘m technically on it, but heardly ever use or update it, their bookclub features are great. as @Roary47 said I like that you can leave notes by chapter so if you read with a group you don‘t get spoiled and can really discuss individual things as you go with everyone still reading at their own pace 18h

AsYouWish I have been using it more and more lately, not just for my book club, but also using the other features available to help me track my books and organize my lists. 15h

RosePressedPages @Roary47 aw that‘s so awesome!! 🥰 I‘d love to!! 8h

RosePressedPages @Aconight It will be interesting to see how it changes as I add books! 7h

RosePressedPages @5feet.of.fury I thought the book club feature was really cool! I‘m curious to try it out 7h

RosePressedPages @AsYouWish I love organizing and tracking my books maybe a little too much. I‘m glad you like those features on Fable! 7h

RosePressedPages @MsRadioSilence this was why I was originally reluctant to try it but I was pleasantly surprised by their response and how lovely the app seems already 7h

Roary47 Here is the fantasy group: https://fable.co/club/the-wyvern-scrolls-with-littlewolf-178259080199 Here is the horror group: https://fable.co/club/roaringwolf-fright-night-with-roary47-202125311454 I can‘t seem to invite for @AsYouWish club for the Midnight Society. 🥺 5h

Summer Solstice: An Essay | Nina MacLaughlin

#MidsummerSolace

#FridayNightShare (better late than never) 🌞

What books do you go for in the summer months? ☀️
Recommend a favourite sunny summer solstice read. 🌞

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

AllDebooks I love revisiting the Greek myths in summer. I'm so happy there are so many retellings to discover. For non-fiction, I recommend this incredible scientific and cultural history of the star that gives us life.

Chasing the Sun: The Epic Story of the Star That Gives us Life

kspenmoll Summer is a catch up time for me. Reading #14books14weeks from my TBR which is fun. Also want to let my mood dictate my choices. Want to read Summer‘s Hum &

The Summer Book

Dilara I've been known to read a book set in winter or in a cold country when it's scorching outside for its psychologically-cooling effect 😁 And also - but that is not specific to summer - I tend to keep those big doorstops for when I'm on holiday.
And now, I really want to read Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies again...

Lords and Ladies (Revised)

JuniperWilde @AllDebooks what are your three fave retellings. I loved A Thousand Ships, Circe 4d

JuniperWilde I‘ve always got two books on the go - one fiction and the other non fiction. That said - currently I have Raising Hare as my fiction pick even tho it‘s technically non. 4d

AllDebooks @kspenmoll I'm really enjoying #14books14weeks 📚 It's really helping whittle through my bedside tbr stack. 4d

AllDebooks @Dilara Yes, I love a big chunkster too, esp in the summer. Lazy, sunny day reading is the best. 👌 4d

AllDebooks @JuniperWilde A thousand ships is #1, loved The Song of Achilles and

Medusa

AllDebooks @JuniperWilde I've heard great things about Raising Hare 4d

JuniperWilde @AllDebooks I‘m going to hunt down Medusa. I love her story. 2d

If you haven't read this book, I suggest you remedy that as soon as possible. Although, of course, everyone has different tastes on what is the best kind of book. :)

Breaking the Chain: The Guard Dog Story | Patrick McDonnell

#Two4Tuesday
@TheSpineView

1. I'll preorder any MUTTS book by Patrick McDonnell. When the COMPLETE SERIES of PEANUTS books were being published (they only released 2 a year for a total of 26 volumes between 2004-2016), I always had the next one on preorder.
2. I rarely preorder because my reading style is so mercurial. Except for the books mentioned in #1, I can't recall a time when I've pre-ordered.

All are welcome to play! 🤩

TheSpineView Thanks for playing! 🤍📚 2w

Offmybookshelf I don‘t do preorders because I forget that I did them. 2w

1001: Books You Must Read Before You Die: You Must Read Before You Die | Peter Boxall

I own an edition of this book and have used it as a checklist for more than a decade and i still didn't recognize all the books on the list. 😂

It's not necessarily we're not “well-read“ but rather a specific effort was made to create an international list so, for example, it includes classics from Scandinavian countries that are not well-known elsewhere.

Three books I don't remember reading:
The Roots of Heaven
The Guiltless
Death Sentence

kspenmoll Wowza!!!! 3w

RaeLovesToRead 90?! 🤯🤯🤯 Even with the book as a guide, that is really impressive!!! 3w

Liz_M @RaeLovesToRead So, sorry to disappoint you, but most of these books DO exist. 😆🤓 3w

Liz_M @kspenmoll Thank you! I'm going to be at a complete loss once I decide I'm done with this list. 3w

TheBookHippie How much do you have to go yet ?? 3w

BarbaraBB You‘re my hero! I wonder if this 10% who apparently read more than you, do exist! Where can I take the quiz by the way? 3w

dabbe Beyond W🤩WZA! Has this book been your major book guide for the last decade? Thanks for the 3 not to read, too! 🤣 Thanks for playing and sharing. 💙📚💚 3w

dabbe @BarbaraBB The lists are coming from me and #threelistthursday. If you want to follow me, they'll show up in your feed every week. If not, I'll gladly provide the links when you want them. 😊
Here's today's: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-list5 3w

BarbaraBB @dabbe Thanks so much! Don‘t I follow you???? Must change that immediately 🤍 3w

BarbaraBB I read 58! Not bad but you‘re so far ahead of me 😀 3w

Liz_M @BarbaraBB The quiz stats are a little wonky -- both TheBookHippie & I are ranked #1 Also, how can it rank a person as #1 and then say 5% of users did better?!?? 🙃

58 is a lot! You read so much more than me and read way more TOB and prize-list books than me. 🌟 3w

Liz_M @TheBookHippie I've read about 980 books (sometimes I count half-completed books, sometimes I don't) from the 1318 books in all the various editions of this list. . 3w

TheBookHippie @Liz_M you‘re getting there!!! 🙃 it‘s fun to follow a list. 3w

BarbaraBB @TheBookHippie Are you reading the list too? 3w

TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB Nope. I didn‘t even know about it 🤣 3w

BarbaraBB @dabbe The 1001 list has been my guide for years. I have been neglecting it for the past few years but it‘s the mother list 🥰. What about Booker lists? 3w

dabbe @BarbaraBB Ooh, excellent idea! You've read lots of those, right? I look to you when you post things about them. I'll check it out! 😍 3w
