Does anyone else like to listen to music while they read? And if so what do you like to listen to? Does it vary depending on what you’re reading? Or do you find it too distracting?
Personally, I’m super into music that fits the vibe of the book I’m reading. Like while I read Legends and Lattes I listened to some soft tavern ambience and now I’m reading dark gothic books and I’m listening to that type of vibe, like This Mortal Coil and Slowdive. I’d love music as well as reading so I’m curious to hear what you guys are listening to while you read! 😄

So long story short, I saw a movie last night that we thought could have been based on a book (it was not), but it got me thinking about movies based on books. Particularly ones that I wish would just be remade, or had something changed, and I wanted to see what others thought.
For me, I really wish The Giver were just remade. And I somewhat feel the same about The Hobbit, not because The Hobbit was bad, but I would like to see what they did with it if they left it as one movie and put the attention to detail in it that they did with the LOTR series.
For just changing some things, I wish there were some changes to the A Discovery of Witches series, mostly in the last season. However, the last season was filmed during COVID, and some of the changes made sense due to the restrictions. I just kind of wish it could be remade without said restrictions, as some scenes would have just been so nice if more characters were there or they had a bit more freedom in how they went about it 😅
What do you all think? Any adaptations you just want redone, or specific things you wish could be changed?

Hey yall! I was talking with my friend earlier and we were discussing things about book adaptations or adaptations in general that we liked! I was wondering if yall had any shows or movies adapted from books or stories that you actually enjoyed? We were talking about how much we loved the Hunger Games movies, even though they left some things out, and the Haunting of Hill House show on Netflix!

As the title suggests, I’m keen to hear what are some of your favourite bookish podcasts.
I’ve been an avid listener of the What Should I Read Next podcast. I love hearing about the reading lives of other readers and always get such wonderful book recs to add to my tbr from it.
I’d love to discover other bookish podcasts out there. Do you have a favourite to recommend?

How many unfinished series do you guys have?
So far, these are mine:
I am aiming to finish these this year, but I'm not really sure if I can do it. 😭😭 I didn't include series that still have books to be published though (ex: shatter me the new republic and the grandest game trilogy)

I have found great content creators on BookTok and discovered books that have forever changed me. I also read the worst book ever. So tell me, what was the worse rec you got from Book Tok?
No Colleen Hoover or SJM. Let's be a bit controversial

I watched the first two Hunger Games movies in the cinema and couldn’t wait for the final film, so I decided to read the third book in the trilogy. There were quite a few differences between the book and the movie, which made me curious enough to go back and read the first two books as well. And I’m glad I did! I like the film adaptations, but I love the books.

I have seen it ALL, been there done that; from actual bookmarks, magnetic, paper, metallic, wooden to receipts and pills I will have to take later at night so I will also remember to read that chapter at the exact time. I have used my headbands, CDs or my actual bra
With a little imagination everything can turn into a bookmark
After everything I have ended up just remembering pages because I got exhausted What has worked for you??
