  • The movie/tv Show > Book

    So I was thinking… is there any movie/tv show adaptation that in your opinion is BETTER than the book? 🤔 I, for example, believe that the movie adaptation of The Virgin Suicides is way better than the book, and I love the book, but I feel like the movie did a better job capturing the Lisbon sisters, like, the director understood them better than the author of the book. 🙂‍↕️ Do you think it’s possible an adaptation is better than the source material? 🫢

  • 📚 How Many Hours a Day Do You Read? ☀️

    I try to read for about 2 hours a day — one hour for each of the two books I’m currently reading. 🕐📖🕐📖 Lately though, I haven’t been reading at all because I’m in the middle of moving to a new place and things are hectic! 📦🏠 But I have high hopes for the rest of the summer — I’ll be by the sea 🌊 and I’m pretty sure I’ll be spending every quiet afternoon with a book (or two!) in hand. 😎🧃📚 How about you? How many hours a day do you usually read — and do you set a goal or just go with the flow? 💬✨

  • A Pile of Currently Readings

    I'm curious if anyone else has this problem, but I often find myself reading five or more books at once. Between library, audio, digital, and physical books, my currently reading list can get quite large. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by it, but the thought of only sticking with one book makes me worried about getting bored. Does anyone else feel this way? How do you combat it?

    Enjoyment: 4.5Quality: 4.0Characters: 4.0Plot: 3.5

    I really thought I wouldn't like this because the title is a spoiler, but I was so intrigued. I really enjoyed meeting the characters, and seeing the loyalty of the friendships both the main characters had. I also really enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed in the matter of a single day. This was a nice, easy and solid read. Emotionally devastating though.

    I'm so in love with this book so far! The short chapters from Marcellus are such a treat and I'm really enjoying Tova's POV though I'm not too fond of Cameron. I am very curious to see how the stories will come together later on in the book!

  • Books vs Video Games vs TV Series/Film

    A curious question for the bookworms who are also gamers, TV enthusiasts or both! Where books have been adapted to or heavily influenced a video game or a TV series or film, what order do you prefer to consume them in? (Or even the other way, where series/film/games have influenced someone to write a book in that universe!)

    I did enjoy reading this book, but it did not feel like a whole lot happened in it and most of the characters annoyed me a lot of the time. I will say that a character I previously really didn't like ended up being one of my favourites in this one, so that was a plus. I do plan to read the next one because I am anxious to see what happens.
