the lembas bread recipe 🙏🏻 i want some

I didn't start using reading track apps until the last few years. I've been an avid reader since middle school, though. I often see books pop up on lists and recommendations that I have read but aren't marked as read simply because I read them so long ago.

What do you do with these books? Do you mark them as read and just don't date them? Do you reread them and then mark them as read? Do you just leave them unmarked?

Heeello everyone,

What's one book for you that was an unbelievable letdown? I'm talking soul-crushing, frustrating, want-to-throw-the-book-across-the-room vibe.

Also, absolutely no judgement here!

Also also, spoilers (just in case)

I'll go first ~ The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

I love mystery and I love maps (I even make maps for fun) and this book combined the two, with magic, and it had such a promising start as well. Until....for 80% of it, there was nothing but all exposition and treating the main character as if she were ten years old. And the 'love interest' was a d*** 😒. And there was no plot to speak of. I've never felt so drained after reading a book and so so so very disappointed.

I find myself guilty of using the sometimes annoying phrase, “The book is so much better”. What are some of your favorite book to movie adaptations of all time? Any that you feel were even better than the book or just as good? Any movies weren’t as good as the book, but still really good? Any that you were looking forward to but extremely disappointed with? One that comes to mind for me is “The Giver”. It was one of my favorite books growing up, and the movie was so disappointing.

For some reason this book is giving me Babel by R.F.Kuang vibes
