Without doxing yourself plzzz

Some of you are reading so much with full time jobs😭 I gotta know what y’all do and how many hours you’re doing it. I know a few people are lucky enough to get to read on the job! That’s the dream.

I tend to "humanize" the books I read. It is not serious, and mainly done for shits and giggles, but I kinda treat them like a little creature who is here to tell me a story or teach me stuff. I refer to them as boys/girls (depending on the gender of the author) and if they are thick I call them big boys/girls. When organizing my shelves I talk to them, hold them gently, feel actual love towards them. Today I reorganized my upstairs classic shelves, and I remembered, that One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey had so much sexism and racism, so I put him on prupose between Uncle Tom's Cabin by Beecher-Stowe and Edible Woman by Atwood. Like yes buddy, you messed it up, made me mad with your bigotry, so now I'm punishing you by sticking you between a feminist and an abolitionist :)). Have fun til I decide to reorganize yall :))! I spent like 10 minutes just looking at the shelf giggling about it. Is this really weird, or does someone else do similar stuff?

I hope all of you have an amazing weekend!! We're in the middle of a heat wave here in Germany and I hate it so so much. I feel like the only good thing about it is that I can stay inside all day and read (but at what cost?) Do you guys have any plans for the weekend? Which books are you excited to read? I recently finished The housemaid by Freida McFadden (after accidentally reading the book by Sarah A. Denzil, which I am not mad about, it was good) and I really liked it! So I got copies of the second and third part of the series and I can't wait to read those!

So my fellow DNFers Why did you start? What made you start? Would you think about reading it at a later time?

I'm stopping at page 49 (10%, the end of Monday). I just can't with the characters, and tbh I'm not interested in wanting to get comfortable with Chiamaka and her attitude. Also, that appears to be high school too well done to be pleasurable reading to me. I'm guessing I started for the reason we all did... the badge (hello, my fellow badge gremlins 😉).

Hello! Obviously we all love books here, but I’m curious about everyone’s hierarchy of media.

Kinda late to this party, but I just finished watching the show Hacks and it affirmed that nothing makes me feel the way a brilliantly-crafted tv show does.

So, how would you rank the following: books, movies, tv, music, podcasts, and video games. Feel free to just rank ‘em or add an explanation!

I think mine is: tv, books, music/movies (too hard to pick), podcasts, video games.

Excited to hear yours!!
