I personally don't mind if the casting looks different from the description in the books. For example, in the Bridgerton series, I loved the casting so much that when I started reading the books, I really didn't mind that the show's characters were different from those in the books. It actually made reading them more fun because it was easier to visualize the characters using the actors from the show. I think I care more about whether the actor or actress can do justice to the character.

Here’s how it works:

Take any book you know.

Rewrite the plot (or part of it) as if a main character was posting on Reddit’s AITA forum.

Keep the AITA style: ages/genders in parentheses, dramatic setup, moral dilemma tone.

Bonus points if you make it sound petty or ridiculous while still being recognizable.

For fun, see if you can figure out other people's!

Edit: These are hilarious and I’m finding books to try. You’re all amazing. I’m living for these.

Hi ! I'm French and I live in Iceland. Obviously, there are no books in French in the bookshops, but there are lots of original versions in English. I'm comfortable with this language in my everyday life, but I have to admit that it's very difficult to immerse myself in novels that aren't written or translated in my mother tongue... 😅 Have you encountered this situation? And do you have any tips? The last thing I found was to listen to the audiobook while reading the book.

Right people. I am in dire need of some books to read, and I want them to hurt. I mainly read fantasy and sci-fi, so I would like them to stick to that genre, but I also want them to hurt me emotionally. If I'm not going to cry, I don't want it.

Give me your best punch ;)

I've been thinking of reading this book, but the plot seems very similar to the book caraval. i really didn't care for that book so i was wondering if yall would say this is better or the same?
