This circle is for discussing books of any kind, regardless of genre or subject. Share a book you’ve recently read, request recommendations, post articles about books or authors, share photos of your bookshelves.
Our goal is to encourage reading books of all kinds, and to be a place for open and civil discussion about any book or author. Whether you read occasionally or every day, whatever your reading tastes and opinions, we hope you will join in and support other members.
Use the appropriate flair (post and add afterwards) and use the NSFW option if applicable. No books are prohibited here, but please be mindful of the Ovarit Sitewide Rules when discussing challenging or controversial content.
If your post reveals details of the plot of a recently published book, consider adding “Spoilers” to the subject and in your post. Spoilers aren’t required for older books or very well-known by most people.
If you want to discuss feminist books, please visit /o/FeministBooks.
Rules
Posts and comments should be about books, authors, or related topics.
Be civil. Rude behavior, insults, name-calling, etc. will not be tolerated.
