So the original story contain the spin off but it's not mentioned in it 🤔 right?

Willow Anne | 1604 comments Yeah, i think it can, but i feel like the 'rules' about it are pretty flexible. Idk if youve read these, but an example would be how The Last Legacy is a spin off of the Fable series, as The Last Legacy is in the same world as Fable and is about a family that we briefly met in Namesake (Fable #2)

wel, personaly, when I read and I also want to listen to music to the same time, I always listen to grief is the thing with feathers album by Teho Teardo, but ofc not everyone likes the same music, so it might not be your style :)


message 106: by Willow Anne (new)

Willow Anne | 1604 comments For me, if i want to listen to non-distracting music, it has to have no words, so ill literally just look up 'dramatic classical music' or 'sad orchestra music' or something on youtube and put on one of those like hour long mixes of a bunch of orchestra songs

good luck on compliting it! I'm actually already done because it's the first time I'm doing a reading challenge, and I've never again counted how many books I read each year. But I loved the experience and I'll surely do it next year too!

Dreamer   | 5128 comments hey everyone, actually, I've already posted this question as a status update, but no one who has seen it till now knows the answer, so I will also post it here. So, I just discovered a site called BooksVooks, where I can read some books for free. I tried to check if it is legal, and if it requires sign up with email, but I can't find a clear anwser. So that's what I'm asking for, if you have any idea. If this app is legal and also if it needs sign up to read?

Dreamer   | 5128 comments Well, this is actually really stupid and irrelevant, but does anyone of you know if I can have 2 pinterest personall accounts (not business) with 1 email? Cause I'm not sure yet, and I can't find a clear answer..

Well that's too late and also i don't have an answer to your question but i just wanted to tell u that u can find free books in z library you've to make an account but it's super easy and according to mvorganising it's legal and you can find almost all the books


message 133: by Douha (last edited Nov 29, 2021 08:32AM) (new)

Douha | 560 comments So let me ask you cuz i really feel stupid doing this, do you guys read the book description before you add it to your tbr because i don't , if you ask me according to what you add books to your tbr my answer would be i don't know, like do you know the story or the description of every single book on your tbrs or what it's talking about ( I'm posting this as a status update too cuz i need answers) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


message 134: by Willow Anne (new)

Willow Anne | 1604 comments Dont feel bad at all! I read through the description super quickly, just to see if id be into it, but then i try to forget what i read bc i like to go into books blind so i can be surprised. When i put books on my tbr, i just make a note of their genre, then when i want to read one, ill just go pick a book from the genre i feel like reading. So yeah, i purposefully do not know the description of the books on my tbr lol

well, I usually do, but sometimes I don't.. It depends on the genre. If it is sci fi, which is not really my thing, I will ofc read it before adding it. But if the book is historical LGBTQ fiction (which I love), or books by an author I love, I might not even read the description.. You can't imagine how many books I've read that I haven't even read the description first! And some of them became my favrites sooo..


꧁༺ L̴E̴X̴I̴E̴ ༻꧂ | 6 comments Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Usually, I do like to read a short description of the book but every now and then I'll read a book blind so I won't look at the cover or description. I've found some great books that way, ones that I probably wouldn't have picked up since I def would've judged it by the cover or description.

Douha | 560 comments Hey just wanted to ask if GR reading challenge is right about being ahead of your goal or not, it shows that I'm 7 books ahead of schedule, it's the first year for me so idk know so i was wondering if any one have an idea about it

for me it says I'm 45 books ahead of schedule, although I don't really know what that means, cause I've only read 39 more books than my goal..

It means that u can read more 45 book before the end of the year but if it says for example, 2 books behind you're schedule that means you're 2 books late and it would say you're on track if you're exactly following your goal not ahead not behind

Yes, I always read the description before I read it or add it to my TBR.

Dreamer   | 5128 comments Also, I just used the mobile goodreads app for the first time and.. how can you use it??? It's just so hard to use. I think I'll keep using the computer site. It's much more easier..

Yes! I have used it a couple of times (because I can't go luging the computer around) and it isn't easy. but I have found out that if you are on your phone you can scroll all the way down and it says:
