Is anyone else here also a bit sad about this fall's readalong? Ofc taste is a very personal thing, but the books chosen dont really stand out to me. Does anyone also feels this way? Should I give any of them a shot?

I am not digging the male voice actor. Or maybe it’s the character I don’t like. Strapping on my helmet to wade into this and try to figure it out

Am I the only one who gets almost stupidly happy when they discover a book aimed at adults with titled chapters?

It feels like something that gets left to ya and younger. But they can be so useful, identifying of chapter intent in this case, but they can be used for emotional tone, humour and to give hints in mystery books.

I’m just not vibing with this book lol. I’ve kept it on my shelf for years, i literally bought the series bc i thought the covers were gorgeous. And they are!!! But the writing, less so. i can’t get past the heavy handed worldbuilding and also the looming knowledge of this being reylo lmao

Ive got nothing against fanfic being turned into books, don’t get me wrong, i’m just reylophobic

What books do you think will age horribly, or already are aging horribly? For any reason.

Personally I feel like a book ages itself when it uses current slang, or references, because those are constantly changing.

So I was at work today and out loud said “Scales!” which is a swear word from “House of Dragons” by K. A. Linde. Does anyone else do this? Or use remarks from books? It can’t just be me 😂😂

I also find the book I’m currently reading I’ll pick things up from and start using in my day to day, but once the book is done I stop. It’s only if I really love a book and it really sticks with me, words/sayings will also stick with me 😅
