  • ‘action’ heavy books?

    hii :) currently trying to get out of a like two month long reading slump & it has not been going well unfortunately 😞 what are some 'action' heavy books that you've enjoyed? doesnt have to be super action-y in the sense of fighting or battles (tho im open to those too) but i need something where there's something interesting happening almost every other moment? if that makes sense?😭 something that doesn't give my brain too much time to rest or get bored. my close friends(usual reading buddies) are in slumps as well so it'd be nice if there's something we could read together? some of my fav 'action' packed books are:

    • you made a fool of death with your beauty • kindred • im glad my mom died • the silent patient • the duke and i • battle royale

    we're open to literally any genre! thank you so much in advance <333

    For some reason it didn't occur to me that his "Adventures" would be many. They're so bite-sized! Considering that I have a long book that I'm planning to read soon, I think I'll pace myself with this one so that I can read a story here or there in-between instead of trying to read all these in one go

  • Whoops! Just found out you don't get points for any reviews you leave after you've already submitted a rating

    Today I finished reading a book and since I was a bit busy I decided to leave a rating on my phone before I forgot and then write my review when I could get on my computer. After posting is when I found out that you get 1 point for ratings and 5 for reviews, but you only get the 5 points for leaving the review if you leave it at the same time that you're rating it but not after. I don't leave a lot of reviews and usually if I do I leave it at the same time as my rating so I wasn't aware of this until now, so I guess this counts as a little PSA for anybody else who didn't know :P

    Although the last 30% or so of the book did make me emotional, for a vast majority of it I just found the characters to be vapid, annoying, or both ^^;
    Being in the POVs of two characters definitely made it more interesting, but it was also just a really exhausting read to have to constantly be in the heads of two people who have very angsty inner monologues

    Ooh.... not really sure if I'm in the mood for this continuous train-of-thought type writing style right now... but I'll give it a few more chapters, maybe I'll warm up to it
