The problems these characters are having, and possibly the author, are why having experienced leaders and clear communication helps so much.

Several of these problems could have been solved by quite literally having everyone sitting around the table.

It also would make this novel about 100 pages shorter which might not be bad either.

I sometimes start worrying that I've forgotten books, and I will even start worrying I'm going to forget even while reading. I remember certain books that I read ages ago, usually my most favorite, but I'll get into a downward spiral where I'm so afraid of forgetting that I lose my interest in reading. Like, what's the point in reading if I'm just going to forget?

I've tried reading slower to try to retain as much as possible to my memory, but I can't read any slower! Are there a certain amount of books a month/year that you've noticed you start to forget more if you pass it?

I'd like to hear other opinions about this. Do you worry? How long do you remember the books you read? Is it ok to say "I don't remember", and does it still count as read if it's forgotten?

I recently started reading again after a decade of second to none, help me out of my spiral!

I have an entire shelf of TBRs in my house, not counting the ones i dont yet own. But starting new books is somwtimes intimidating and i just want something familar. On the other hand, I feel bad for neglecting my TBR and my reading goal for the year. Its only just occured to me that rereads could possibly count towards the goal??? (For whatever reason i thought it had to be new books).

Do you guys count rereads?

As the title says - please share if you have any tips to how to maintain a book buying ban 🙏 I want to focus on reducing my current tbr rather than increasing it, but I am a weak willed creature 😭

The title basically says it: What are your favourite book forums? The ones where you had such a good time and everyone had such good insights?

For me it's 100% any book in the Realm of the Elderlings, I just continued it and the forum just feels like home (also any time I read a rote book, it's going to be my most discussed book of the month yes like 25% of that is calling the characters gay, but they need to stop acting like that if they want me to stop)

A question for y'all inspired by the book I'm reading: if your life was turned into a movie or a multi-part limited series what wpuld be the soundtrack? Are there any songs that remind you of specific points in your life?

(For anyone curious the book is Soundtrack of Silence by Matt Hay)
