I’m finding myself in a paradox.

I really want to read books with unreliable narrator. BUT if I know ahead it’s going to be an unreliable narrator, the book and the plot twist won’t be so shocking, right ?

So how to in find unreliable narrator books without knowing it’s an unreliable narrator ?

What’s your opinion on the subject? 🤓

So I was listening to the Vampire knitting club the other day and then my pre-sleep thought was, does a vampire's hair grow once they are turned? Like what is they have a really bad haircut at the time? Can they only go shorter to fix it?

Hello fellow boundlings ☺️ I’m walking the Way of St James at the moment and finished my current audiobook yesterday, so I wanted to ask for some recommendations. My most important ask is good narration, other than that I’m open for anything ☺️ (My go-to option is of course the Murderbot series, but I want to switch it up a little bit)

Thank you 🫶

Lately, I feel like I am just wasting SO much money on books. And it is upsetting me how I’m looking back on the majority of books I’ve read this year and my only thought was ‘what a waste of money.’

I keep having countless bad reads. I just finished a 1 star book, and now I have started a new book which I already hate only 13 pages in. I cannot get a refund or an exchange either.

It’s starting to make me lose my passion in reading and I don’t know what to do about it, because the last time this happened I went into a reading slump that lasted over a year.

All of the books I pick up that I think match my taste just end up being something I really hate. I don’t know the last time I picked up a book that genuinely stuck on my mind.

I like fantasy, with slowburn romance that doesn’t take up the whole plot. I like plot heavy stories, which rely more on worldbuilding than romance. I like kings, princes, monarchies, kingdoms and warriors with medieval settings. I don’t like sex heavy books, I like books that have no sex scenes or scenes that last less than 3 pages without going into graphic detail. But I don’t really like YA, I like adult.

I don’t know what to read, everything is just really disappointing me and making me think that reading is a waste of money.

Edit: I have just DNF’d a book that I bought TODAY. I had only been 18 pages into it but I couldn’t bare it, it was awful. I’m so mad and frustrated because I just wasted £10 on something that I couldn’t bare. I was only 1 and a half chapters into it. This is the last time I’m buying a book for AWHILE now. I’m going to try to go to my local library soon.

okay, i feel so dumb for not grasping anything so far, but the writing is just so beautiful! it's like a stream of thoughts i can't stop reading, i understand it but i simultaneously don't.
