Hey everyone ^^
As someone that likes reading, and writing, in multiple povs how do we, as a collective, think about multiple povs in the same chapter?
It's a part of the story in a sequence, not completely different characters in different locations and situations. Just, looking at bits of the scene happening through different eyes.
I actually like it and definitely don't mind it, but what do you all feel about reading it?

Did anyone else see that Lucy was on this podcast??? I’m normally not into listening to things myself (I need it to be written text or I zone out lol) but I’m so excited to check out the episode!

Did any Roman stories sneak into this quest? I think the vestal virgins concept would make an incredible retelling if anyone knows of a title.
Side note: it would be fun to read books solely from this quest for a month to start seeing crossovers of the characters / people / timelines.

I used to have a hard time with descriptions because I'm like,, the protagonist wouldn't necessarily notice those details but I need to paint a picture for the reader. Or the protagonist wouldn't verbalize that. Realized you can describe things without it being noticed by the protag. Even in first person POV, you can be writing from a hypothetical future/subconscious perspective
8LemonLime is interested in reading...
The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires

Old school Hollywood meets a protagonist who will do anything to feel healed but continues to make the wrong choice over and over again. If you are a reader who just wants to “find out what happens in the end” this book certainly ties it all up with a bow. The writing is so easy to slip into. I understand the hype about this author. However the plot for me began to drag and the characters became two dimensional by the end. I could see what the author was going for when her characters made sweeping statements about one another but the would conflict with my experience of the characters actions. I would pick up another book by this author because her sentences and world building are beautiful (and to test out if she can write a truly dynamic character that is harmonious with her plot).

I have a very strict way of scheduling books to choose what to buy. First, when I'm interested I store them in the interested here. Then I go through my list, look at the plots and trigger warnings of books and store the ones I actually would buy for how things are on a Google document.
I still keep the other ones here, cause in the future they might make it into the Google sheet list.
Right now I count 108 books in my document, waiting for the right moment.
This isn't the only process I go through. Obviously choosing from 100 books it's difficult. I start reading the blurbs again and I open the Amazon links only of the ones I kept reading till the end.
After that, I ask myself what genre I want to read, or what vibe I'm looking for and close all the Amazon tabs of books that don't fit that.
Later I come back on pagebound and see the general ratings and the bad reviews only. I eliminate at least an option based on that.
If there's still too many tabs I read the excerpts. Anything that doesn't have one is discarded immediately.
I make a list of pros and cons and eliminate one at a time until I didn't round it down to two.
Finally if they would cost max 25 euroes together I buy them. If not I ask my friends for advice on which one to choose.
Does anybody else have such a specific method?

I did the audio book for this one and I think that’s what ruined it for me. Would recommend reading over audio
