Any advice welcome! With the school year starting I had very little time to read, so I ended up pausing all the books I had started. Now I want to continue, but I feel kind of disconnected and like I may have forgotten some plot details. Should I suck it up and continue and see if the memory comes back, or bite the bullet and restart? I'm over 200 pages into the one book (Priory of the Orange Tree) so I'm hesitant to restart, but I don't want to miss out on anything if I've forgotten a key detail! And because I'm indecisive I end up continuing to not read at all, making the problem worse with more and more time passing!!

I just joined. I think I'm going to like it here!

I have been seeing a lot of discourse regarding book cover preferences lately. I wonder if anyone has ever gotten the ick from a book cover? If so, did you still read the book, or was it an immediate no thank youuuu?

fun little question for y’all: if you could choose one of your favorite books/book series to be adapted to the screen, which would it be and why?

follow up questions to that: would you want it to be a tv series or movie/movie series? animated or live action? and for extra fun, who would you cast for some of the main characters as actors for a live action, or voice actors for animated?

I’m currently reading a book that has reviews, but no forum interaction. I’ve already posted like 3 times. I think im starting to feel a little self conscious. At the same time, it’s fun and I like seeing my thoughts out in the ether. 😅 Does any one else feel weird when they are the only one posting? 😆

I am frequently looking up unfamiliar terms on my kindle. I just realized there is a section on Kindle where you can review all of the words you've looked up in it's dictionary. You can select "mastered" on a word once youve learned that definition, and it will be removed from the list. Since I didn't know that feature existed until now, I have over 400 words I've looked up 🙃. But that also includes lot of words I had mistakenly clicked on. Example: the, where, he, etc.

Does anyone use that feature to try to expand your vocabulary?

What's the most recent word you've look up? Mine was "mercurial." Which means "someone whose mood or behavior is changeable and unpredictable, or someone who is clever, lively, and quick."

I am reading a book right now with cuss word that aren't technically cuss words. Think fak, lol

In this book I think it because the book is ya so it doesn't have cussing but also the main character cusses. It is mostly just funny but it does snag my attention every time.

I've read lots of fantasy books with unique to their world curse words that I really enjoy though.

I think the difference is the other books the curses make sense to the world. It is a reference to a unique to that world religion for example, not just away around cussing in ya.

Has anyone else noticed this? What do you think? Do you have a favorite curse from a book?

I absolutely LOVE doing this - it lets me see all kinds of things people have read, are reading and plan on reading. I get off work in an hour and I finished the book I was reading on shift tonight.

So. What I want to know is everyone's Last - Now - Next! I started another one right after, but I am a mood reader and have no idea what I am going to read next.. so I need ideas from you all with your answers!

Last - Fixiation of the Mind by Kira Stanely Now - Black Ties & White Lies by Kat Singleton Next - IDK lol. Maybe the 2nd in the series for my NOW book.

the real psychological terror in this book is me having to read any scene with Dov present on it
