Meet and Greet

[latespring]

I'm super excited to have everyone here! Since people might not know each other, I'm putting up this post for intros.

Name/ what types of books you like to read/ anything else you'd like to share? I think a lot of us run in similar circles (those being kpop rpf), but not always in an overlapping way. Do you have a favorite group?

If you haven't checked out the questions post yet, that's still open! It has some questions about what you'd like to read, and how you'd like the group to run in it.

I'll throw an intro comment under here as well!

Hi all, this is littlerhymes aka popliar! (she/her)

I love reading, I like most genres except for the you know typical white divorced university professor type of lit. I enjoy other types of lit and a wide variety of sff and mystery and romance and so on. I am never up to date on the trendy books so I probably haven't read anything that came out in the past few years and was popular on booktok. These days I'm often reading very old books (like available on Gutenberg era books) and c-novels.

I recognise most of you from kpop lol! The Boyz are my ults but I love being a multi, I follow a really broad range of groups. (Join us on paradisediner if you like kpop...)

paradisediner!!! <3

is there anything in particular that draws you to older books? (I always enjoy reading your book wrap ups!)

[littlerhymes]

Hmm, there's a few reasons. I have SO MANY books on my TBR pile (both physical and ebooks) so it seems wasteful to buy a new book that will just get added to the pile. I'm also quite addicted to buying second-hand and looking for bargains, so that naturally skews to older books too. And I enjoy talking about older books with my friends who are also into them, there are such fun little niche fandoms for authors like DK Broster and Rosemary Sutcliff, and for books like Kidnapped.

tl;dr I will definitely read a new book for a book club but left to my own devices I am busily trying to get through my TBRs of 10 years ago lol.
