I think I've hit a small wall with reviewing burn out.... I still want to write reviews, and I can with a LOT of effort.. but my brain just doesn't want to write them no matter what 😅 I'll have the tabs open for days upon days writing like half a sentence every now and then.. It sucks cause I also struggle to switch to the next book before the review is written for the previous book too. So despite not being in a reading slump (maybe?) and having a lot of books piling up I REALLY want to read (looking at you sunrise on the reaping) I just can't make myself finally write the review I'm stuck on rn. I can't exactly just stop writing reviews as well, hoping to eventually somehow make some money from it - even if I just connect it slightly to if I can eventually work out how to start doing sensitivity reading. It's also saved me a lot of money getting books I'd otherwise have to buy 😅 (which yeah, capitalism.. I'd use my local library but they only take like very old book suggestions that are cheap for them to get and have a very small range). Got multiple books on netgalley that are now past the release date I still need to read and review, and I got sent another the other day :') I keep falling behind but even that isn't helping with motivation..

I've noticed that lately a lot of author are giving us cringe sentences in books, I don't know why or whah is going on but I honestly hates it. I was talking with my friend the other day and she read in the book "close protection " OKAY TROY BOLTON Why are they doing this…It’s more and more frequent I feel like we shouldn’t see movies we know I music in books … is it just me???

Looking for nonfiction audiobook recommendations, ideally stuff that is creative and entertaining but not too flowery so its still easy to follow while multitasking Thanks in advance :)

Worst book to read while working retail

This is a grey anatomy spin off?

I swear some of y'all can speed read (not a bad thing) and maintain so much detail. It will take me days to a week to get through a 400 to 500 page book and I will miss so much context sometimes. I also find myself sometimes becoming easily distracted when reading slower parts of books which definitely extends my reading time. Sometimes I just can't focus on whatever is going on and then will need to reread the parts. I'm reading for enjoyment of course and the discussions here, but I find myself feeling inefficient, which shouldn't really matter but I was curious what everyone's strategy was to read so quickly. I feel like some of y'all will start a 500 page book in the morning and have a detailed review by the evening, which is awesome and I need to know your secrets.

Maybe a strange question haha but I have to drive my mother to several eye appointments in the near future and it’s over an hour each way so I want to listen to an audiobook. Most of what I read is queer speculative fiction. My mom mostly reads memoirs and historical nonfiction. Any idea what we could listen to??

Interesting development here. hmmm. I feel like these two have gone above and beyond to communicate in some scenes, and in others it's very veiled and a struggle between them. Which is probably true to real life, just... I want Lukas to... idk what the right words are. Give more??

So I’m into it but I feel like Aury is hiding something. Like he is actually what moth is saying he is.

Hi everyone I was wondering if I was the only one who needed to read with music 🎧 ? I’m always putting an album on to read or/ and when I’m home, also an ambiance on YouTube What is your reading atmosphere ??
