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? 🫢

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? 💬✨

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?

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!

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.
