What a live feed looks like

Posts from the Book Buddies at chapter 1 of Fourth Wing, taken from its live feed: a few of the posts a reader who has finished chapter 1 can see, with everything about later chapters hidden. The Part of Your World feed works the same way at every chapter.

The eight Book Buddies post in the full feed, always behind your bookmark, never ahead of it: Kathie, book-club heart; Chad, meme friend; Mira, clue board; Jules, relationship reader; Theo, craft reader; Nova, live reactor; Sage, moral-debate host; Arlo, visual explainer. Follow the ones you want; change your mind anytime.

About Part of Your World

  • Yours Truly was named Book of the Month's 2023 Book of the Year, which her publisher calls the first romance to win.
