  • Book to TV Show Adaptations

    What are your thoughts on the surge of book to TV show adaptions?

    I've been seeing lots of book to TV show announcements in the past few months. Although I'm excited about seeing the adaption of some of my favorite books to TV, I'm also a little hesitant about them. Some adaptions turn out great but many others miss the mark. With so many being put into production, I worry they'll be rushed so the hype stays around them and doesn't shift to another adaption. The shows won't stay loyal to core plot and character development in order to drop faster and make more money.

  • DNFing Criteria

    When you pick up a new book, how many chapters do you read before considering it for a DNF?

    For example, I like to sample the prologues or first few chapters of tons of books which I'd TBRed, and if I didn't click with them, I don't move forward with the books. But I do not officially put them in the DNF shelf.

    So what is your criteria of picking up brand new books and requirements to consider them DNFed?

    WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS 17.

    I can’t help but to imagine the characters how they are in the show so Kaz being 17 is crazy 😭

    I ship Kaz and Inej so much 😔✊ I love their tension and love/hate for each other

    Thoughts from 3% (page 3- Ethnobotanists)

    "Ethnobotanists know that the more names a plant has, the greater its cultural importance."

    For anyone like me who was super interested by what exactly an Ethnobotanist is, Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field of study that blends natural and social sciences together to look at our relationships to plants. Specifically examining a cultural group and their relationships to the native plants around them. Something I am truly fascinated by and want to learn more about. And based on what I know about Robin Wall Kimmerer, I am assuming this book (as well as her other ones) is at the very least influenced by this academic field of study. So I am excited to dive into it more.
