I wait at least a day usually. 🙃 I need to let things settle in my brain.
Also, because I mainly read at night, I'm old (turned 39 recently lol), and only write reviews on my laptop.

I'm really curious to see hear everyone's opinion. I personally prefer paperback, but if I have to read hardcover, then I will

I'm thinking about making a crocheted granny square blanket to track the books I've read. I want to do a color for the star rating, a color for the genre, and I'm not sure what else to color code, the squares I'm planning on using can have 4 colors (more if I make them bigger). I am open to suggestions on what else to color code/track with colors! Have you ever made a crochet project to track reading? I've seen people make weather blankets before and those have always seemed fun to me.

Gotta admit all these names make it very hard to keep track of who is who, I am struggling!

Imagine you're in a good old whodunnit detective novel full of suspicion and biscuits... think Poirot or Miss Marple! Based on your username, what's your detective name gonna be?!

For me, it’s The Lost Years of Merlin by T.A. Barron.

I was never an avid reader as a child but when I was 17, I had an English professor that really inspired me to grab a book and just start reading. Prior to reading Merlin, I was reading the popular titles from Murakami, Yanagihara, Ishiguro etc.

8 years later, I realized that I should not have started my reading journey with their books, especially A Little Life HAHAHA (still can’t bring myself to reread this one). I was 17, too young and dumb to comprehend the depth of these author’s works and with not fully understanding came the discontent, the unsatisfaction after each and every book.

It was only when read The Lost Years that I really experienced the magic of reading. Then, it was mostly fantasy books from there.

SIDE STORY: I never meant to buy The Lost Year of Merlin, I only bought it because my bestfriend was buying a book from an online store and she needed someone to help shoulder the shipping fee. I bought the cheapest book in the store and now it’s one of the most important pieces of literature in my life.

Some days I spend hours here. I comment on posts on the club, on the forums, I check the activity of people I follow, etc. Otherwise (like lately) it's just registering my reading progress and replying to notifications I might have. I blame this on me not being a social person. 🤔 Being social is... exhausting to me. So I guess I am only here when I have social energy? And not when I don't? 🤔 Anyway... sorry I haven't been interacting everyone ^^
