I can’t stop thinking about the breeding center. Thanks to the graphic description, I can vividly imagine how it looks.

I was just discussing that I’ve been a bookworm since ‘99 because the first instance of book obsession I remember was The Series That Shan’t Be Named at the age of 9.

I don’t have a lot of childhood memories under that age but books were a huge part of my upbringing so I’m sure they existed, I just count from the first time I was ✨OBSESSED✨

So when did everyone get bit by the reading bug? 🐛

And which book was the one that got you?

How does everyone feel about forum posts that are just quotes with no context or discussion added?

When I pull a quote, it’s usually because I have an idea or a discussion point I want to pose to the forum, so I’ve always posted with context to the quote in some capacity, even if it’s just “This is such a great quote.”

Recently I’ve noticed a lot of posts in forums that are just quotes. My original inclination for those was to usually just scroll past. I thought they weren’t necessarily low-effort, but they just didn’t provide anything to start a discussion or prompt any thinking on my part.

I find that quotes that I don’t feel the need to discuss or add anything to I’d more likely put in a status update for the book. But then I thought about how those don’t really have spoiler filters and that if a quote was put in there it could be spoiling the book for others who haven’t read yet.

So now I’m torn and I’m curious what everyone else’s thoughts are on posting quotes without discussion in the forums vs. using status updates for quotes. What do you tend to do when you find a quote you want to remember?

Why is he another one of those woe-is-me-who-has-a-shit-ton-of-emotional-baggage-so-I-don't-want-to-love-her-because-I'll-hurt-her. Why does therapy and communication not exist in these books. Why does this book need 540 pages to sort out whatever their problem is.
