Heyyyy everyone!! I just started reading Frankenstein, and I read The Great Gatsby not long ago, and they both have many pages of introductions and forewords.
Does anyone read them in full? If so, do you find that they add anything to the reading experience?
Personally, I donāt like to read them before the book, and if I particularly enjoyed the book Iāll go back and read some of the introduction.
What do you do?? š

Have you ever re-read a book and realized it just didnāt hit the same as the first time? That happen to me with The Hunger Games today, and honestly⦠it feels like a betrayal. š
But there is no way I am lowering my rating. That book has way too much sentimental value for me. My past self loved it, and I must respect her judgment. (silently judging my book taste as a teen)
I really wish there were a feature where you could give a book multiple ratings. One for the first read and another for every reread if your feelings change. Because letās be honest sometimes the nostalgia rating and the current rating are two completely different things.
I know this feature will never exist, but let me dream š
Has this ever happened to you? What book lost some of its magic when you re-read it?

A while ago, I asked about people's favourite fictional horses; the most popular were Maximus from Tangled and Lil' Apple from Mo Dao Zu Shi. Now I want to know...
Who are your favourite fictional animals? Preferably from books, and I'm happy with mythical animals too.
I'm going to go with Faulkner and Emerson, a crow and a cat, respectively, from A Magical Bookshop Mystery by Amanda Flower. And Zoloto, a puppy from Cold War by Keira Andrews.
