Hey y'all 👋🏻

I noticed that the Who's Who Wednesday posts have ended. I looked it up and saw that the user who started it originally deleted their account 😔😭 Jadelovesbooks

These were some of my favorite posts to read through so I'd like to bring it back if that's cool (or if these were ended on purpose, let me know and I'll remove this).

It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is possibly part 17.

If you participated in any of the times before, you don’t have to introduce yourself again but you can share some different facts about you, an opinion you have, or how your week is going.

If you’re new, introduce yourself!

I’ll go first.

My name is Wibbily. If I was a video game character, this is the loot I would drop after being defeated: 🎧 - over the ear headphones 🎲 - dice 🃏 - Pokemon cards 📚 - books ☕ - iced coffee 💄 - bright red lipstick

Alive.

I found out some people use AI to 'read' hard books. Basically what they do is make Chatgpt summarize and analyze the story so they can talk about it as though they've read the entire thing. My question is why?? All the fun in reading is analyzing the story yourself. I genuinely feel superior to these sort of people who proudly declare to the world that they cannot think by themselves. I also hate how using correct punctuation has become synonymous with AI. You can't have em dashes or semicolons or god forbid, a writing style similar to Chatgpt or you'll get accused of using AI. I know the AI bubble will pop some day but I'm scared of how much damage it will do before it's finally gone

What are some books that aren't trending that you absolutely loved?

I’m curious whether others have this dilemma too 😂 does anyone else have series on their radars that they’re super interested in starting, but haven’t simply because of the length of the books/series? If so, what are they? For me it’s the Red Rising Saga by Pierce Brown. I’m a pretty slow reader who likes to finish a series without too many other books in between, so I suppose I am intimidated by the idea of diving into a long time commitment lol

guys does anyone know the book that's about a rich guy that gets sent to be like a lieutenant or something in an outpost at the edge of a creepy forest? I think he doesn't really want to be in the military but is doing this for the moment and is completely unqualified. the book may or may not have a bit of horror?

i think it's sci-fantasy but I'm not sure and I don't even remember the author's name T_T
