my biggest one was we are electric the author is a journalist and went really hard on the "biochemistry doesn't matter when it comes to electrophysiology" and as a biochemist, I took great offense to that so I hate finished it bc the topic was interesting, but I was pissed

  • Do y'all have PFs? Not DNF but rather painfully finished?

    I was wondering because I'm thinking of some books I've read over the last few years. Books I absolutely hated but I couldn't DNF them because I, personally, wanted to see how bad it would get. But there could be different reasons for finishing a book you disliked. So I wanted to know if you have PFs? And what made it painful for you?

    I'll go first. For me it was definitely

    A Stage set for villains: Terrible world building and I was left with more questions than answers.

    The love Hypothesis: Not. Enough. STEM. What do you mean this a stem romance.

    My vampire plus one: The most ridiculous vampire novel I'd ever read. And I've read Twilight.

    Fourth wing: y'all there are better dragon riding novels out there. Trust me.

    What about you guys? Lowkey PageBound should have an option for "Painfully finished".

    I love Halidon music. they have a youtube page and a spotify profile. the youtube videos, when they are just classical music vibes (classical music for villains or classical music when you're going insane) it's some piece of art and just classical music that fits the vibe. they also have single symphony videos or collections like "the best of mozart." for the life of me, I can not resd listening to music with words so classical is where I go to get background noise for reading

  • Non-AI Ambience Suggestions?

    I love the idea of it sounding like I’m in the world I’m reading but whenever I search for ambience on youtube I feel like all the results are just AI and it’s hard to find real channels. Does anyone know of any non-AI channels they love? Whether or not you use it for reading I’d love to check out some human made ambience!! (for both music and no music ambience)
