  • What do you think is one of red flags in a reader?

    I personally don't like readers who judge others on what they read? Like what do others reading has with you, once i saw guy who reads non fiction saying how romance books don't count as reading and how you aint reader, like buddy, if you read you are reader, or a person who judges how much person read in a month or a year, i recently started counting books i read last year i didn't, i don't even know how much i read until i realized people actually count and make goals how much they wanna read, i never understand those readers, so share what you think :)

    This book felt longer than it was and I think it's because of the slow pacing in the beginning. I don't know if it's because I hyped it up a lot in my head after reading the premise but I was a little disappointed. It felt like it had so much wasted potential. That said, I did end up enjoying it (just not as much as I wish I did). I liked that everything came together in the end. I guessed the murderer but it didn't take away from my enjoyment.

    I spent my whole life being nervous up until I realized that life happens in between the beats of our own heart, and if it thumps too fast, there’s no space for us to live.

    I was hurriedly reading the epilogue but had to reread this line a few times. It's a beautiful way to describe the experiences you miss out on because of anxiety.

  • Favorites but not 5⭐

    Would you rate all your favourite books 5 stars, or can they be favourites but in the 4 star realm?

    I just started reading a book by T.Kingfisher and realised that she's become one of my go-to, favourite authors, and I absolutely love Paladin's Grace series (to the point that I cannot make myself read the last one, because then I won't have anything to look forward to) - but I didn't give it 5 stars when I first read it and I'm not sure I would now.

    I'm fully at peace with this, but it did make me wonder - are all your favourites 5 stars, are all 5 stars your favourites?
