question’s in the title! what book, just based on how much you love it/how much you yap about it/etc etc etc pick your own criteria, do you think your PB friends would see and think immediately “oh yeah, [insert your username]!!”? for me,
the fact that i made this in the first place really says it all for my answer honestly

I hate to dnf a book but I just can’t keep up with this one 😢 the stream of consciousness is so overwhelming, I have no idea what’s going on tbh. Maybe I’ll get back to it in a few months!

Hello hoomans! Good morning from my side of the world. Can't believe we are halfway through May. I hope everyone's reading is going well.
Have you ever read a book where you paused and say: you know what that's a valid reason to be a villian? 😅😂
So tell me, if you were to be a villian in a story what will be your origin story? 😆 NOTE: It can only because of inconvenience/pettiness. Nothing too serious like someone died. For example: all your ex-boyfriends keep bringing you pads when you ask them to buy you tampons. 😂😂
For me it will be, my barista keeps making my iced coffee watered down with barely any ice and too much milk. 🤫😮💨 OR telling me my dog is just a "dog" and not my baby. 😒
PS. As they say, we're all villians on someone elses story. 😉

Messy Cities: Why We Can't Plan Everything

Alanna commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
So something I noticed is that a lot of people whose careers are focused on book reviews and discussion don't end up getting high recognition for the books they've written themselves
The most recent example is Cindy Pham whose debut got a mostly negative response
Which I find really interesting considering Cindy's videos do a decent job at dissecting bad writing (even though to me at least Cindy focuses too much on line to line critiques than the full book overall, but I only watch their videos time to time)
And then I remembered book/writing creators like Jenna Moreci (I found one channel that dissed her book in like 6 seperate hour long videos) and others also get mostly mid receptions of their own books
In my opinion, I think that while the skill of dissecting someone's writing is still connected to the act of writing itself, it is still a seperate skill, and doesn't mean one is automatically good at both, but people think it does so they write a book regardless of their skill level
And I'm not trying to say that "content creators can't write books" because xjz wrote iron widow and is a youtuber and I've seen a lot of love for iron widow
I just think that people who percieve themselves as skilled in a thing don't always know how weak their skills are
What do you all think?
