Let’s Talk Bookish: Participating in Discussion Posts

✨ Welcome back to another week of LTB! ✨

I’m so sorry I’m late with post this week—I totally dropped the ball and forgot what date it was. I will be better prepared next month! 🫣

Let’s Talk Bookish is a weekly meme created by Rukky @Eternity Books and co-hosted by Aria @Book Nook Bits and myself! In this discussion meme, participants get to talk about certain topics, share opinions, and spread the love by visiting each other’s posts! Learn more about LTB, past topics and future topics HERE.

This week’s topic is:

Prompts: How do you prepare your posts when you’re writing a discussion post—do you have an outline or do you usually start writing in advance and work on it slowly over time? Do you prefer to have many prompts (like LTB), or do you prefer one question that you can take in whichever direction you prefer (like Fantasy with Friends by Unbound Pages)? Do you think weekly discussions are better, or quarterly discussions (like Literary Inbox by 24yabookblog)?

Let’s Talk Bookish Special Announcement + New Topics!

Happy Monday, book pandas! I hope you’re all doing well. 💜 It’s been a minute right? Well, our mini-hiatus is over and we’re back with new Let’s Talk Bookish topics and a special announcement about how we’re planning to run the meme moving forward!

A Special LTB Announcement

Aria and I have been thinking a lot about this meme lately. LTB is turning seven in August and honestly, we couldn’t be more proud to see how far it’s come! However, running this meme does take a lot of work, and as you might imagine, coming up with 4-5 new and exciting topics each month after such a long period, can sometimes be a struggle. We really appreciate everyone who continues to suggest topics though! 🌻

We want to keep LTB going, but with work for me and school for Aria, we wanted to find a more manageable schedule that also considers the meme’s sustainability. That’s why after some deliberating, we have decided to make a shift from weekly topics to monthly topics per quarter.

That means we’ll be sharing 1-2 monthly topics each quarter (Jan – Mar, Apr – Jun, Jul – Sep, Oct – Dec), with topics being scheduled for the second and fourth (or last) Friday of each month. As always though you’re free to post whenever you want, just don’t forget to link back to one of our blog posts, so that we’ll get notified and can add your post to the topic’s list for others to read. Just to note: if you only tag our homepage, we unfortunately won’t get a ping, so you have to link to one of our blog posts!

We’ll be kicking off the new topic schedule today for June – September 2026—we decided to include June because even though we’re a little late, we thought there’s still time for one topic at the very least! 🤭 And that’s it for the announcement! Thanks for sticking around and we hope that, even with this reduced schedule, you’ll continue to join us for these bookish discussions!

Let’s Talk Bookish: The Rise of Climate Fiction

✨ Welcome back to another week of LTB! ✨

Apologies in advance, friends, as it’s been a week so I didn’t have time to prepare the pos early, and as I’m feeling unwell and exhausted right now, I’ll be sharing my own answers over the weekend. For now, I’ll be sharing the links to everyone’s posts. As always, thank you so much for participating in LTB this week! 💜

This week’s topic is:

Prompts: Climate fiction is an increasingly popular genre, and has grown from being seen as a sci-fi subgenre to a broader category of its own — its own literary prize even being established in 2025. Have you read climate fiction (‘cli-fi’) or books centred around environmental issues? Do stories about the climate or the environment make you feel hopeful, anxious, or something else? Do you think cli-fi can influence how people think about the environment?

This week’s topic is:

Prompts: A few years ago, poetry saw a surge of popularity on social media thanks to “Instagram Poetry” or “instapoetry” by authors like Rupi Kaur, Amanda Lovelace, and Atticus. Do you think social media platforms have changed how people discover poetry? Do you think “instapoetry” makes poetry seem more approachable, or do you agree with critics who say that it’s not “real poetry”? Have you read any instapoetry, and if so, what are your favourite authors/poems/collections?

Other 2026 high-profile adaptations include Project Hail Mary, out March 20th, and the new Hunger Games movie, set to release in the fall, both for which the casting has been received more positively. What is most important to you with casting for book-to-film adaptations? Is the perfect hair colour, or right height or eyes always a must, or is personality more important? When are book-accurate looks in casting most important? What are your favourite—and least favourite—book-to-film adaptations when it comes to casting?
