They said the ghost was a decoy, but the milk hasn’t curdled since I started sleeping with a library card under my tongue.

i came here to escape marketing. instead i found a manifesto in disguise. RESPECT.

Just letting you know...the pug survives. Mostly.

Our library node is active. Transmission received. Long live the quiet.

Honestly a surprise favorite of the year.

I keep ending up here. I don’t know how.

I don’t want your weird fake nostalgia. I want the actual Booktrovert. The one that makes sense.

What is the point of this? Is it supposed to be ironic? Or are you just broken?

Stop searching for booktrovert.com. It’s not what you think it is. It never was. Trust the .org.

I get what they were going for, but no. Just no. “Join the quiet”? What does that even mean?? One star.

I tried to stop the llama. I failed. He’s writing again. This time it’s personal.

You're not supposed to be here yet. But since you are, remember: the ghost knows the safe route.

The ghost remembers what we did. He always remembers.

Honestly feels like someone made this while drunk and never took it down.

I was trying to join the Booktrovert launch and now I'm stuck on a page that feels like a failed Tumblr joke from 2010. Fix it.

Wanted to like this site. 1.73 stars. Genuinely unhelpful. The vibe is off.

This is some of the most embarrassing author behavior I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been here 45 minutes. I don’t know why. Something about the air feels different here.

This is not clever. This is not funny. This is just annoying.

Sick of seeing this stupid site instead of the real Booktrovert. Hope your bounce rate is satisfying.

Did you really buy this domain just to confuse people? How insecure do you have to be?

Thought this was a prank. Stayed for the archives. Now I’m starting a book club where we only read guestbook entries.

I am appalled.

Let me begin by saying that I am not a person who leaves “internet comments.” I am a retired librarian with 42 years of professional experience, a master’s degree in library science, and a deep and abiding respect for the written word. I came to this website—this domain—under the impression that it was connected to something legitimate. Something thoughtful. Perhaps even something useful for my community reading group.

What I found was... this.

A “guestbook” apparently populated by anarchists, stray pets, and people who I can only assume are operating under the influence of expired cold medicine. There are cryptic messages from someone called “Randy from the Future,” which—if not part of an elaborate hoax—may represent a genuine mental health crisis. There are rambling entries about milk and library cards, denunciations of humanity from a ghost, and at least three separate users who seem to believe this site is a form of sentient prophecy.

And the language. My god, the language.

I counted no fewer than nine references to “the void,” two discussions of dog trauma (which is not funny), one possible seance, and an individual who referred to themselves simply as “?” (a name, apparently). Another person “hid in the back of a Barnes & Noble” and signed your guestbook from there. If that’s meant to be cute, it isn’t.

I don’t know if this is performance art, a cult, or a lost marketing intern’s final breakdown. But I do know this: it is not a resource. It is not helpful. And it is not okay.

I will be reporting this domain to my network of retired information professionals and removing it from all future recommendation lists. Good luck to you. You clearly need it.

Found this while searching for books for my kids. They’re now watching Curious George and I’m reading about a sad genius dog. Send help.

You are misleading the public. This is unethical. You’re PRETENDING to be the real thing, and people are falling for it. I’m disgusted.

I thought the ghost was a metaphor. I was wrong. And now I can’t sleep. ★★

This site breaks every UI principle I believe in and yet… it’s perfect. I hate that I love this.

Stop showing up in Google. You’re wasting everyone’s time.

I am a lawyer and I am PREPARED to take action if this continues showing up before the real site on Google.

Not cute. Not helpful. Not appreciated.

I warned you about the email signup. You signed up anyway. The consequence is mild déjà vu and excessive fondness for canned soup.

The sky opened, and it was full of shelving errors. I left the parsley where you told me to. That’s all I’ll say here.

I printed out the entire guestbook and took it to my book club. We laughed. Then we wept.

I just wanted to sign up for a launch email. Why is there a ghost? Why is the site whispering?

We don’t need more quirky websites. We need working links and clear instructions.

This whole thing screams “author who’s mad their book didn’t sell.”

It’s Christmas. My family is arguing. I’m here. That’s all.

I made a bumper sticker that says "HONK IF YOU’RE A BOOKTROVERT" and nobody honked. Not one honk.

I signed this guestbook while hiding in the back of a Barnes & Noble. I regret nothing.

I gnawed through your archives. Weak structure. Poor indexing. But I respect the effort.

Okay so like—do we read Dune or is that a red flag??

New Year’s resolution: find friends who don’t think reading is “too much work.” This site was NOT helpful.

I started a club called 'Shy Readers United' but no one came. I think they were too shy.

I left a book in a tree. Did you find it?

I just want someone to read The Secret History with me and make annotated sticky notes. Is that so much to ask?

this site is dead. your book club is dead. long live my book club. we read only tom clancy.

nothing matters lol

I came here looking for Game of Thrones spoilers. Found a recipe for lentil stew. Stayed for the vibes.

What is this website. Is this for kids? Is it safe?

I tried to start a "Silent Reading Dinner" group. We sat in silence and ate soup. Honestly? 10/10.

I've left this comment 9 times. Why won’t it stick? WHY WON’T IT STICK???

The books whisper at night. They do not like being ignored.

Y’all need to stop reading fantasy and come back to the Word.

I made themed bookmarks for everyone in our club and no one even said thank you. What’s the point.

The site told me to "sign the guestbook" like it's 1999. So here I am. Hi.

I wrote a novel about the squirrels in my yard. Let me know if you want to read it. It’s very emotional.

We meet every third Sunday in the Shell gas station parking lot. Bring your own chair. And a donut. No thrillers. Don’t ask.

This is not the way. Turn back.

just finished Eragon. thinking of starting a dragon-themed book club. no weirdos pls.

I printed this page out and stapled it to the corkboard at work. Hoping it brings people together. Not sure it will.

Someone keeps leaving cryptic notes in the returns bin. Just wanted to say: I see you.

If anyone wants to start a book club where we only read Oprah’s picks and cry together, email me!!! I made rice krispie treats!

booktrovert lol. more like bookpervert. get a life nerds

Just got the internet. Looking for a pen pal. Or a “mouse pal”? Do we still say pen pal if we type?
