4 Free Apps to Track Your Reading

Wanting to read and gaining the motivation to read are two very different emotions, with various actions needed to achieve them.  Who said you had to achieve them alone? There are tons of websites and apps out there that people use to discover what a book is about, read reviews, post their favorite quotes/moments, and even hold discussions about them! Even though there are quite a few to…

Hot take: I like Storygraph's AI feature. I originally had it off but I find it handy now. It's not perfect but I appreciate the preview that gives me a general feel for a book without giving me spoilers like a lot of book summaries do. (I dislike reading a lot of book summaries because of that.)

My ideal reading app would function like a Reddit drama TikTok, but without the Subway Surfers/Minecraft background.

I want auto scrolling text and text-to-speech. Both of which function properly, without skipping words, and can be tuned to my preferred reading speed.

If there must be a background, it should either be 1) a static image or 2) an animated gif of a sleeping animal.

I got suckered in to one of those romance novel apps recently... and it's one where you have to wait 8 HOURS inbetween chapters! And some of the so called chapters aren't really even chapters! I waited 8 hours to read someone got dressed up nicely for a fancy ball?? Why!? And another was just a character bemoaning his (self-imposed) fate... that had previously been established!!

Like, if I'm going to wait 8 hours between each chapter at least have decent meaty chapters! Or have something happen! Its just... kinda silly.

(And yes, I understand the need for downtime between things happening and its important for the story and the reader. And if I wasn't waiting 8 hours I probably wouldn't mind! But...)

Important note: No hate to the author here from me!! You're probably only doing what your told to! And I am interested in the story and the characters! It's the app I'm mainly annoyed with. 8 hours? It's bs.

It's April!

Y'know, it's strange; at this point, I've drawn a fair amount of Rise fanart. But I haven't ever actually drawn April yet! And that needed to change.

sylus neeevvverrr fucks you without going down on you first and making you cum on his tongue

quickie? only if u finish in his mouth

car sex? he’s gonna fit himself on the floor somehow and make it happen till you’re shaking before he pounds u in the backseat

shower sex? he’s pulling your thigh over his shoulder and licking ur clit until ur legs collapse, after that, he’ll take u against the wall since u can’t stand <3 so considerate of him

i really do think there’s a huge disconnect on here w/ people who have never used tiktok as to what it actually is and who actually uses it. the number of people i’ve seen call it a “teen dancing app” is actually insane. it has not been a teen dancing app since i was in high school, around 2016 - 2020. the main communities i saw on a daily basis were 1) black history/anti-racism educators, 2) high school & college teachers sharing in-classroom strategies and frustrations with the education system, 3) local/state political leaders giving real-time updates on behind-the-scenes government decisions, & 4) community activism & leadership. like tiktok is an adult platform. almost every person i interacted with was my age or older. and yes it completely depends on your fyp and how you interact with the app, yes there’s still teenagers and dance videos and literally anything else you can think of. but these communities of adults aren’t insubstantial at all, they have literally millions of interactions on a daily basis. there’s about a million other types of communities that i could name just off the top of my head, because the range of users was SO diverse and thriving. it’s a long-distance community tool, just like any other social media—and honestly much better than any other social media, because it relies primarily on the kindness of strangers. i saw at least 5-10 videos today of queer people in rural areas panicking because they don’t have any access to queer community on any other platform or in real life. and before i end this i do want to say i think tiktok is coming back, i think this is a highly orchestrated political move, etc., but i do know it won’t ever be exactly the same. people are panicking about free speech violations because tiktok was a place where people fucking SPEAK. i have never seen mass mobilization and communication in this same way for as long as i’ve been alive. it is the people’s app, not just a silly teenage thing. if you’re not on tiktok and never have been, please stop talking about it like you know anything at all😭
