  • Favorite and/or unusual reads from school

    I was thinking about books I read in middle and high school and also wondering what other schools read across the country and world. I went to a weird hippie all-girls’ Catholic school, so while we had some normal reads (e.g. Macbeth, 1984, The Scarlet Letter), we also had some reads that I don’t think are typically assigned (e.g. The Hot Zone, Mountains Beyond Mountains, The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down).

    What were your favorite books you read in school? (Mine were In the Time of the Butterflies, 1984, and Hatchet.) Or alternatively, what books do you think your school assigned that aren’t typically assigned?

    Students/Academics: How do you do readings and not get burned out from reading as a hobby?

    Hi! So, my new semester started today, and I added up the pages for my readings for only one class and came to 800 pages. My other 5 classes will likely have similar amounts, though some a bit less, so I will come out to probably around 3000 pages of assigned reading just for my classes. Which is doable but since I also need to memorise it all and take notes and reread…

    How do other students or academics or really anyone with comparable amounts of involuntary reading assignments go about not losing fun with reading? Because every semester I struggle to enjoy reading for fun after already reading so much for uni, and find myself doomscrolling instead, which… I don’t even really want to do.

    Anyone got any advice?

    I most enjoyed the mention of historical usage of the herbs and the mythology surrounding them. Really interesting and beginner friendly!

    Pretty predictable and basic story, your typical fated mates shifter story, with a tad of political drama and thinly veiled references to real world issues ignored in favor of romance

    The characters are fairly basic and perfect, no flaws, incredibly powerful and even though they are aliens they look exactly like humans
