I swear some of y'all can speed read (not a bad thing) and maintain so much detail. It will take me days to a week to get through a 400 to 500 page book and I will miss so much context sometimes. I also find myself sometimes becoming easily distracted when reading slower parts of books which definitely extends my reading time. Sometimes I just can't focus on whatever is going on and then will need to reread the parts. I'm reading for enjoyment of course and the discussions here, but I find myself feeling inefficient, which shouldn't really matter but I was curious what everyone's strategy was to read so quickly. I feel like some of y'all will start a 500 page book in the morning and have a detailed review by the evening, which is awesome and I need to know your secrets.

I don’t know anything about this story but it’s so cute so far! I love the sisters and their bonds 🥰

Curious what people think the best book to movie adaption of all time is? For me, I think it's gotta be Harry Potter--made it somehow even more magical!

I have two: Dogsbody by Diana Wynne Jones (every damn time I read it😭) and Dancing After TEN by Vivian Chong (which is not my usual genre but wow it packed a punch). What books wrecked you emotionally??

So do we know Vis’ status or how people get certain statuses? It seems to work like a Caste system if I’m understanding correctly?

I'm in disbelief that chapter 1 was just 16 pages because I swear it took almost an hour to get through. Every other sentence I was taking notes trying to acclimate to all the different terms used and piecing together some understanding of the world and characters we have so far.

I still can’t believe that people think that breaking the law equals death being warranted. What does it matter if somebody is dealing drugs? If I skip class and convince other people to do the same, does that mean I should be expelled? We live in a backwards disgusting society.

This is an incredibly hard read. I had to stop to think and cry multiple times while reading, not because the story itself was exceptionally sad, but because these atrocities are still happening everyday. I cried for those who live with this terror everyday. For the fact that so many people don’t see the glaring public health crisis black people are experiencing. I especially cried knowing so many people deny the humanity of black people whether they are model citizens or not. This is a must read for everyone. It shouldn’t be difficult to understand that you should care about other people, but if any book will help someone understand that, it’s this one. The characters were perfectly flawed. No one ever did the right thing 100% of the time, and guess what? Their lives still mattered. The two different settings in this book did so much to help illustrate how many different worlds are existing right next to each other. And Starr’s inner conflict to maintain her two different personalities in these communities pushed the story forward by showing readers how much effort it takes to make white people see minorities as human.
