Do you ever skip ahead and read the end of a book before you're finished? I had an English teacher who did this (and sometimes I did when I was younger), but I never do anymore (unless it is an accident...but I try to have not even that happen!)

This app is my new obsession. I fear I might spend more time on here than on all my socials

As I'm entering my early to mid 30s, I find I have a hard time wanting to read books where the main characters are younger than me, especially if it's a romance novel. I just started a new book (What the River Knows by Isabel Ibanez) because it was recommended for fans of The Mummy movie but seeing it's tagged YA and that the fmc is 17 makes me not want to continue.

How do you all approach reading books with characters that are younger than you?

Not to defend Nina… but i’m wondering why Millie is so suprised/taken aback that she has to cook for them?

“Since apparently, i’m also going to be cooking for them”

Didn’t Nina literally ask her if she was a good cook during the interview? They’re both kinda annoying idk 😭😭

4% in and we’re already being misogynistic… why???

I’m feeling very VERY protective over both Kelsier and Vin and idk how this is gonna end

Does anyone else get unreasonably upset when someone DNFs a book and rates it 1 star because they didnt reach the point of growth in the book? Like, I love books with unlikeable or weird or complicated main characters. That means that for the first half of a lot of books you don’t like them! And for some reason people think this is the author glorifying their thoughts or agreeeing.

I just feel like we need to stop thinking that portraying a mindset means agreeing or glorifying it, and that if a character is problematic it means the book is BAD. And if you can’t make that distinction then maybe you shouldn’t be seeking out books that say they have a problematic or complicated main character or contains things that you don’t agree with. I get upset when a great book gets a one star review because someone couldn’t trust that the character might grow or even that there’s a point being made intentionally by letting them be problematic.

Edit to clarify I am totally fine with DNFing it’s the giving a bad rating without even reading the full book OR condemning a book that might be very well written but has a character that they disagree with that annoys me more.
