The Procrastinators Book Club discussion

hey guys! I just thought it would be nice to just have a free chat thread to talk about anything :)

what books have you read recently?

Just finished Anansi Boys :) amazing, as always.

I read the ACOTAR series. SO GOOD. I can't wait for the other books to come out

I haven't finished a book in a while (but I'm currently reading 3 books). Also goodreads says I'm 5 books behind on my challenge and it's giving me anxiety :'D

oof cheering for you Anni! you can do it :)

Yay thanks @Althea xD I hope so, I hate giving up (lowering my goal in that case)

I've been meaning to read that soon!!! I love all of his works that I have read <3 have you read any of his other books?

Yes, I've read The Rithmatist, which was amazing, but it doesn't look like the sequel is coming out any time soon

I love the Alex Rider series! I haven't read the latest book that came out yet

Is anyone else bothered that you can't count fanfiction to your goodreads challenge? :'D do you guys count fanfics in anyway?

@Anni no :)

Oh for a long time I was only reading fanfic as became addicted, I try to check if available on goodreads as much as possible so I can use in challenges where I can. One I read recently fit like 5 of my challenges it was awesome! I don't read anything less then 100pgs or 50k words generally, so have got lucky with finding many on here... Although ao3 I have bookmarked as read over 900 fanfic at this point 😂

I don't even read that many, but those I do and enjoy I'd love to count to my challenge because that's reading too and I spent time on it! So far I've only found one fic that's available on here

Yeah I'm with you there, it's frustrating that not all on here but I understand why. Lots of ao3 authors don't want their work on here. Oh what fics do you read? Some pairings seem to be more popular on here, while others are not on here at all.

I just read the occasional Clexa fic (one I've found on here :D) and recently started to get into Avengers fics. And some Harry Potter but not much. whatever I'm in the mood for and what sounds interesting!

Oh awesome! Well there does tend to be a lot of avengers and Harry Potter fic on here, so hopefully have better luck with finding and using some of those 😊

Do you guys have book hangovers after reading a book or a series? If yes, how long?

Is Summer Days 2020 something we will be doing?

Hey everyone, I just created a book blog (let's see how long I'll stick with it), so maybe you want to take a look :) There's not much on there yet but I'm gonna start posting all my reviews there.

Sorry for being absent from this chat—I'll be more active :)

I have been reading a book on "Colliding with destiny," very interesting read, indeed.

Thank you for your suggestion! Please consider placing recommendations in our GET ME OUT OF MY SLUMP folder :)

Hey all! I realized I never really gave an explanation to you guys for my sudden disappearance for almost a year since around September last year 😔 University got very hectic and my schedule suddenly became too busy for me to handle (as life does do that sometimes) I'm in a pre med course and real life just needed my attention. Sorry about that.

I was going through the archives folder and just saw that some of you were wondering what happened, so thank you so much for the concern ♡ I'm back now (and very happy to be) after I got my life sorted out :)

That's it, I just wanted to share with you guys since I've really enjoyed being a mod in this group since I get the chance to talk and meet so many wonderful people!

If anyone fancies helping I have a vague memory of the plot of a book I previously saw on goodreads, didn't mark off and have now forgotten the name of.

Its YA, follows the story of two characters one male one female from the female POV of them working in a bookshop, competing to sell the most. I think it was something to do with winning a holiday or some other prize. The guy wasn't as into books as the girl but he somehow had better sales?

If anyone knows it please tell me as it's really annoying me being sat anonymously sitting at the back of my mind :)

Nevermind, I just had it re-recommended by Goodreads!! (and marked it as want to read this time)

For anyone wondering it is Recommended for You

Hello, not a typical post for here but I'm a school librarian and I have an 11 year old student who LOVES the Warrior Cat series by Erin Hunter. She's read all the ones I have in the library and is looking for something new.

I've pulled a few things from the shelves but they don't interest her. Anyone got any recommendations for what I could offer her next?

hey! I haven't read the Warrior Cat series but around that age I would recommend: The School for Good and Evil series, Percy Jackson series, The Young Elites series

Thank you, I grabbed Percy Jackson so I'll try that with her this afternoon but don't currently have book 1 in the TSFGAE series but will keep it in mind for when that comes back!

Currently reading the Gilded Cage by Lynette Noni, scared since I wasn't a fan of Book 1.
Also would Smile by Raina Telgemeier be considered a cover with not a lot of design for the challenge.

hey i wanted to know if anyone has read Less by Andrew Sean Greer. It has a Pulitzer, and some good reviews, but there's also some bad ones and I haven't been able to get into it after the first chapter anyway. PLZ LEMME KNOW

I really don't think one chapter is enough to really make a judgement.

I have recently finished Ailton Krenak's Ideas to Postpone the End of the World. It is a collection of three of his lectures, including topics that entwined with environmental crisis, capitalist society, indigenous philosophical thoughts on meaning and being. It is an amazing collection and shows his talents on lecturing, how he use different words to weave his ideas . Actually I am planning to formally write a book review for this work and trying to analyze his rhetorical characteristics, which is described as "cannibalism in rhetoric" by his friend:)

Can you guys please please please make this group available on Fable as well?
