I was reading a physical book from the library, is was a nonfiction novel about K-pop. I started reading it after finishing another book that left me in a major cliffhanger, like they didn’t even finish the main game in the book. But all the physical copies at the library where checked out soooooo I decided I to start the K-pop book and tried to forget the other one. But I caved and got on my kindle at like 8️⃣ at night 🙃📖. It felt worth it but also I dislike leaving another book for another. Is this just a me thing or do you guys ever decide to leave another book for an other one. Sincerely CEO 👩‍💼✨

I’m curious: What do you think makes a book review “good”/helpful for you when choosing whether to read it or not? For example: Listing tropes? Talking about characters and plot in depth? Spoiler free vs spoilers included? As I use Pagebound more and more, I want to leave thoughtful reviews on books I read as a way to both contribute to the community and keep the conversation going. I’d love to know what you think, so I can consider including these elements as a relatively new book reviewer :)

Finally, isekai/transmigrated into game/book trope is breaking outside manhwa nor manga

How do you decide when to stop reading for that day or particular sitting? Do you set a reading goal for the day? Do you do this by setting a timer, establishing a number of pages to get through, determining an appropriate stopping point in the book based on chapter/part lengths?

Do you go purely based off of vibes and when you can no longer continue you get up and walk away?

My husband and I were debating this the other day. Personal Context: If I sit down to read, I will stick my bookmark ahead in the book as a benchmark for myself. If I get to that point and still feel like continuing to read for that sitting, I’ll move it ahead once more and continue on. If I can’t make it to that predetermined pause point, I may readjust based on time and energy. My one rule though, I refuse to stop in the middle of a chapter if at all possible. My husband on the other hand will simply close the book (sometimes with a bookmark of some sort in place, other times not which is a whole separate debate!) and go onto the next thing whenever he feels necessary. I know of other people who set a reading goal for themselves in terms of number of minutes reading or pages read, regardless of where that would land them in the book. When they hit that benchmark, unless they’re really engrossed in the book, they’ll be done for that sitting/day.

Curious to know how others feel about this, one way or another!

Saw this on my facebook and intended to sent it privately to my best friend but I messed up and share it on my profile for all my FB friends to see. It became a happy accident because my book friends (whom haven't talked to in a while) engaged on the post and we had fun on roasting my chaotic evil friends.

I'm lawful evil. You?
