What is a book that you think would do awesome as a video game?

I’m currently reading Archenemies an there’s some scenes that I can picture animated into a video game and I think so far this series would be so cool to see in video game form honestly! Idk if it’s bc of my recently renewed obsession w resident evil, but I imagine it in a similar style to that series.

And it got me curious if anyone else has ever imagined a book as a video game and wished they could play it lol.

Tips for keeping a reading journal

I decided to make a reading journal today and it's really fun to write down my thoughts in it and treat it like a scrapbook with occasional doodles

However I worry about how long I can keep up with it

Whilst in the past planners and journal did help me a lot, keeping up with them was always difficult. Like, I'd work on a journal for a month and then abandon it for one reason or another

And I'd rather not see that happen with this reading journal, so does anyone have tips on how to keep one long term?

Archenemies (Renegades, #2)

Marissa Meyer

The Renegades Trilogy continues, in this fiercely awaited second installment after the New York Times-bestselling Renegades by Marissa Meyer, author of the Lunar Chronicles. Time is running out. Together, they can save the world. But they each other's worst nightmare. In Renegades, Nova and Adrian (aka Insomnia and Sketch) fought the battle of their lives against the Anarchist known as the Detonator. It was a short-lived victory. The Anarchists still have a secret weapon, one that Nova believes will protect her. The Renegades also have a strategy for overpowering the Anarchists, but both Nova and Adrian understand that it could mean the end of Gatlon City - and the world - as they know it.

My Ántonia

Willa Cather

Through Jim Burden's endearing, smitten voice, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant life in the Nebraska heartland, with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's most beguiling characters: the Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride, Antonia's desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and the coy Lena Lingard. Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching, free-spirited Antonia.
