π welcome to the heated library book/film club! π
this is a fandom-wide club that anyone 18+ can join! despite its name, this club does not actually have much to do with heated rivalry at all other than specifically being for the heated rivalry fandom. a lot of us have been wanting to get back into reading & watching movies so what better way to get out of our slumps than to do it together?
this is both discord & dashboard inclusive. not everyone enjoys discord and not everyone enjoys chatting on the dash, so regardless of which medium you prefer, you'll be able to participate!

here's the general format for how this will work:
β€οΈ each month, everyone participating will pledge to read 1 (or more) book(s), and/or watch 1 (or more) movie(s). you'll make a post on the dash (and/or post in the discord) to share your monthly plan with others! all club posts can be tagged with #heatedlibrary or mention @heatedlibraryclub
𧑠due to not everyone having access to the same libraries, stores, and streaming services, we will all choose our books and movies individually. however, if you'd like to read/watch the same things with a friend/friends go right ahead! there are specific channels in the discord for planning group activities, reading together, watching films together, or just chatting!
π on the first of each month i'll post 3 optional prompts. choose the prompt(s) that speaks to you the most and apply it to your book/movie search! these prompts are not mandatory to follow, just an added scavenger hunt element. ultimately, you can pick whatever book/movie you want! the prompts are mainly for people who struggle to choose what to read/watch and prefer some guidance. there is a channel in the discord specifically for recommending & suggesting books/films that fit the prompts if you're having trouble finding some!
π you do not have to complete all 3 prompts, nor should you feel pressure to finish all the books/films you planned to get to. the goal of this club is for everyone to just get back into reading/watching movies. the quantity doesn't matter, and neither does the length!
π throughout the month, we can all post (on the dash and/or in discord) reading updates, thoughts, discussions, etc. you can plan to read alongside others at certain times, ask people if they'd like to read/watch the same things as you, or anything else you may think of!
ultimately, this is a very low pressure/low stakes club that you really can do whatever you want in! following along with the prompts or doing group activities is not mandatory; if you've just been looking for an excuse to get out of your slump, that's what it's all about! there's no expectation to engage/interact in the discord (or even join the discord at all if you don't want to) and at the end of the day your goals are entirely your own. let's have fun! π

My picks for @heatedlibraryclubβs August 2026 prompts! Iβve finished my yearly reading goal so itβs gonna be nice to sink my teeth into some new books, especially as I donβt usually read much fantasy.
okay read my The Raven Cycle graphic novel today. Gonna finish The Cement Garden tonight also & read a lil more of The Raven King (AFTG edition) & then start on Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow for @heatedlibraryclub
Also I made this post earlier but if you missed it I made a sideblog just for my reading escapades!! @jsreadinglist :) Nothing on there yet because Iβm waiting to finish TCG But a fun way for me to keep track of my reading since I donβt enjoy Goodreads/Storygraph

thank you so much to everyone who came to the first heated library movie night π₯Ί that was so fun and lovely and i can't wait to do it again soon!!!!!!! πΏπ₯π

Sandi Tan at 8pm EST in the discord server! feel free to join at any time and watch with us! mics will be muted so we can all hear and enjoy the movie, and we'll be talking in the movie theater text chat. see u there!πΏπ
the first heated library prompts are here!!! i was planning on waiting til the first but the discord is already popping off so much that i'm just excited to start the damn thing!! plus, this will give everyone a little more time to plan their months accordingly.
SO, without further ado:
1) food on the cover/poster
2) title starts with R
3) busy/cluttered/maximalist cover/poster
happy hunting!
here's some book/film suggestions! feel free to share your own!
I'm participating! I'm trying to finally read Crying in H Mart and Recognizing the Stranger, and then I'm planning on catching up on 1 million movies in August, but will keep track of the ones I watch for the prompts as I go.
(starting with Shirkers tonight, then Dinner in America and probably Shiva Baby tomorrow and tuesday)
First month of the book and film club! I'm giving myself an additional challenge for every month and adding a manga to my monthly goals.
I picked Fruit Fly based on this month's prompt "food on the poster/cover," and My Noon and Midnights Are For You for the "busy/cluttered/maximalist cover/poster" prompt. And..I just wanted to watch Perfect Blue this month, it's been on my to watch list for way too long.

Thank you so so sooo much for starting this server. I wasn't sure what to expect, but tbh it has rapidly become one of the best parts of my day. The community is so chill, supportive, everyone is so nice, we all love a wide variety of films/books, the discussion is so interesting. But the best part of all is the shared framework of loving HR too. I'm meeting all these cool awesome people and they all understand my fandom references. I never would have that in a regular book club. Anyway, this fandom is the best, you're the best, and if anyone is on the fence about joining this server... Don't walk, run! β€οΈπ₯Ήπ₯°π«Άπππ¬
THIS IS SO KIND AND SO WONDERFUL TO HEAR πππ this is exactly what i hoped this server would be and i'm so happy people are having such a good time π₯Ί and remember if there's ever anything going on that's making the server feel unsafe/unfun PLEASE let me know. i want this to stay a good and welcoming place for everyone π
