It’s interesting reading this again a second time and out loud to my sister. I think the first time was so soon after deconstructing that I yearned for anything sacreligious and my mind filled in what the words lacked. Now reading it again and aloud, I’m finding that the writing is actually quite clunky. Half of the book is introduction when a lot of time that could have been spent progressing the story as well as establishing the setting. It occurred to me that the “rising action/call to action” doesn’t happen until the end of part one. Thats a long time to wait caught in the glowing limbo of heaven. It makes it harder to recommend than it used to be.

I used to LOVE reading Choose Your Own Adventure books but haven’t picked one up since I was a child. Some more recent ones have caught my attention though and made their way onto my TBR but before I dive in, I’ve been struggling to determine when to add them to my “Finished” shelf.

How have (or would) you determine when you’ve finished? When you’ve read to the conclusion of your storyline or not until you’ve re-read several times to uncover all possible endings?

When I think about video games I’ve played, I do consider playing through to the end of “my” story to be completing the game, even if there were other endings also available, but maybe this is different?

Would love to hear opinions on this!

just wondering if anyone has book recommendations where a royal and a knight falls in love with each other 😗✌️ i rarely see those, but would love to read some of them!!! ⚔️👑
