Ended up in the idols photocard hell instead of reading books. I didn’t read in more than a month.

Why does USA always suffer from main character syndrome? There’s no need for an USA version of Squid Games and Alice in Borderland. If they have plans… Cancel that shit ASAP.

I’m so tired of USA, please. Like just shut up and do nothing already 😭

Comics are under attack in Canada. We cannot stay silent.

Read and share TCAF’s statement on censorship in Alberta’s public schools, then join us in taking action! www.torontocomics.com/post/comics-...

I actually don’t feel fulfilled this month when it comes to reading. Me saying this as if we’re already ending September lol.

I mean, I keep reading and reading but nothing is fulfilling 🫩

One thing I’d never get is.. How are some of my mutuals so vocal of Palestine and blocking/unfollowing people supporting zio authors but at the same time they also have mutuals who support zio authors? Like I see them commenting in some of those people with mid to large following lol

What I miss about BookTok is the trend of “hot takes”. That was so messy LMFAO.

I fear I’ve never moved on from reading after reading Love In The Big City

Going into Spanish BookTok is like being born again because I only find romantasy and romance girlies 😂 (2 common genres when I started BookTok)

I think my brain always explodes when reading Bae Suah and Han Byung-Chul. Now, let’s add Heidegger and Hegel, shall we?

(Don’t mind me. I got bored of reading in my rhythm and I just want to search and read whatever for the laughs)

Filipinos dragging the politicians’ kids is my hobby nowadays. Yes! They have woken up!!!

Korean BookTok are so obsessed with this as their bookmarks.. I’ve seen a lot of them already lol

Laying in bed watching Demon Slayer edits with KPop Demon Hunters songs 😭

One of the worst things of me as a reader is having a lot of books but nothing seems interesting to read at the moment 😭👍
August 30, 2025 at 3:08 PM
Do y’all remember when BookTok used to critique Haruki Murakami?
I was curious to go and see Kuang’s read books and reviews on GoodReads to see what influences her.
She gave 2 books of Murakami 5 ⭐️ lol. I’m here like: Well, your favorite author definitely liked Haruki Murakami but here you are 😂

Don’t ask me how I ended up watching a Japanese Live on TikTok and started learning Japanese passively while the person is studying English.
I just correct him with the English but I don’t know any Japanese 😂.

I need (or want) a change but I don’t know how can I change 😭…

How did I get bored of my own-self on BookTok? 😭
August 29, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Everyone is talking about Katabasis… Please, TikTok, I already muted the word.. What do you want from me, huh? 😭
This feels like when the USAnians were banned for a day en the EU Booktokers were non-stop talking about Onyx Storm 😭
August 29, 2025 at 7:24 PM
I have changed my profile entirely on TikTok out of boredom… My mistake… Now I have to wait for a week 😭😂

(I actually crashed out)
August 29, 2025 at 1:02 PM
I started to go to a Live on TikTok of a Japanese guy studying English and I think I’m actually used to hearing Japanese just because of the years of anime lol
August 28, 2025 at 10:16 PM
I’ve already watched the latest Demon Slayer movie and as usual, I cried and laughed.
But one thing I’m proud of is coming back to reading because I think, younger me didn’t appreciate the philosophy and symbolism behind their dialogues and what’s happening but now… It’s like I’m so IN 😂

New reading goals: Read a really bad book, rate it 1 ⭐️ (0.25 ⭐️ on GR) and comment: “Go girl, give us nothing!” Just to recreate the meme lol
August 28, 2025 at 2:09 PM
I wonder if there’s like an “invisible criteria” on BookTok. Of course people would say things like: “There’s none. Just read books.”

But then I keep thinking on how the only way you get interactions is by reading any popular books. Mainstream social media books lol.
August 28, 2025 at 1:24 PM
I can like and love books I’ve read but how many are truly memorable
