Yāall ever finish a PERSONAL five-star months ago, and while youāre adding in stuff for the yearly recap, you see a good bit of 1-2 star reviews? Iām always standing there like soš§āāļøit feels a little awkward because it sort of makes me feel like I shouldāve read it as deep as the reviewer, I guess? One thing this app has taught me, though, is that taste is very, very, very, very, very, very, VERYYYYYY subjective.

Love a book with short chapters š. Also, I am really enjoying this so far, I have my suspicions about possible twists, so we'll see how that goes.

The title says it all. I'm looking for books that will make me cry at 3am.
My job leaves little time for reading usually, especially until the morning hours which is my favorite time to read.
During the few days off I have during Christmas I wanna really go through it in the fictional worlds. For this specific goal, romance is the way to go for me. Second chance is great. The ex-vows and Love and Other Words did the trick.
What other books can you recommend? (Non-romance or non-second chance is amazing too, I just wanna cry) š«¶š¼šāØļø

Iām just curiousā¦.
Do you annotate or mark-up your books? Why or why not? How do you annotate them?
Personally, I mostly annotate books for school or non-fiction books. I donāt typically write in the margins, rather I highlight sentences that I like and are meaningful. For school, I look at tone, syntax, juxtaposition, metaphors, and character portrayals.

Not gonna lie if a vending machine was dispensing free candy I probably wouldn't report a problem with it either
Mainly because I wouldn't want to have to call someone to fix it
But also because free candy

ā¦what do u guys do with ur bookmarks while reading? Do u hold them? Stick them in a random page? Sit them down somewhere near u? I feel so awkward when I go to read a book but donāt know what to do with my bookmarkā¦ I usually just leave it at the page Iām starting off with then move it when Iām done.

54SophReadsBooks commented on jesswithbooks's review of Perfect Little Monsters
My one wish for 2024 is that writers who include adolescent characters in their books will try to write realistic dialogue for them. I feel like this was maybe an attempt at āHeathersā style satire, but it fell flat from beginning to end (for me, at least). Even the adult characters were written in ways that felt, at best, strange. Soundbites from the text include:
āAnd she's so weird." She takes some more of my fries.
I can feel the back of my neck heating up. "She's not weird. She's autistic.ā
&
āThere are other cute guys in school. Guys who don't come along with baggage like vegetative sisters."

Wow. This book left me with so many thoughts, emotions, a new outlook, everything. I loved the two separate outlooks. Before I started, I read some reviews and saw that some people would have preferred just Emilia's story, but honestly, I think Melina's story was just as good. As a drama student at uni this was right up my street and as a woman it was really touching and empowering to read. I also really enjoyed learning from this book - I'd never heard of Emilia Bassano before this but now I'm glad I have. Honestly, respect to Jodi Picoult for the amount of work it must have taken to go into this book. Also the authors note at the end was brilliant too. 5 š well deserved.
