Hello people of #booksky ! I am asking for responses to my survey looking into book reader culture in Scotland. If you are an adult in Scotland who considers yourself a reader, please fill out my quick survey! On average so far, it takes about 4 minutes to fill it out.

I really enjoy Dishsoap’s specificity in their submission suggestions! As a neurodivergent writer, I personally find this makes the submissions process feel less daunting and more like a fun creative prompt to follow. A very open and informative approach! 👏
Wondering what to submit? This week we're especially interested in: planes, trains, automobiles, spring vibes, family trees, ghazals, the muppets, long walks at weird hours, obscure indie games, onions, the vastness of space, and queer joy

The battle of trying to lose yourself in a book to distract from your noisy neighbours, while struggling to concentrate on the book because you have noisy neighbours 😬
