It's always kinda hilarious when you read something that you can easily disprove with your own lived experience. Like girl I don't know which devil's sacrament you were at but none of us saw you there
#reading pole position#i'm sure you are a motorsports fan but you are still getting something wrong on every page#but i'm probably not the target audience#i just read it for the lols

honestly if i'm reading a book for uni that i need to get through quickly i will listen on 2x speed and read the physical book at the same time, it does keep me concentrating and retaining it and i get through that shit like a man in a desert with radishes
me while listening to an audiobook: man i wish this thing had subtitles
me:

i'm intrigued whether anyone else has self-imposed categories of what books can be read as audiobooks and which they prefer to read visually.
i love audiobooks for more recent books that are quite popular and i don't know whether i would like vs i have to read books that have funky structures (e.g. ali smith) or i've previously visually read every other book by the author (e.g. sunrise on the reaping)

I never understood people who are like "i'm behind on my reading goal for the year, please recommend me some shorter books"
It always feels like they're missing the point? Like are you just doing this so you can have the bragging rights of saying "I read x number of books"?
#if you need shorter books to gain momentum generally i get that#but if the goal you imagined for yourself in a moment of idealism at the beginning of the year was off#just rewrite it with more knowledge of your current reality#reduce it or ignore it#whatever keeps you reading the books you want to#honestly it would probably be healthy for everyone to discuss their book count less#i get fixated on it too#and honestly it reduces my enjoyment#but also it keeps me reading#there's a weird tension there

the whiplash of thinking that you're reading in third person limited to realising that it's actually third person omniscient

So, did anyone else happen to have just that ONE kinda niche Young Adult book series that irrefutably shaped your perspectives and tastes in regards to fiction?
I'm not talking about like, "I've loved Dystopian fiction since I read the Hunger Games series," or, "Twilight really got me into monster romance," not that those aren't valid experiences but I'm thinking about book series like (if you've read them) the Keys to the Kingdom, where if you namedrop them you'll mostly just be met with blank stares, with maybe one person vaguely remembering reading like one book, often less, when it was raining or they had to pick out something to read during class.
My ones are the Skulduggery Pleasant series, which I know is fairly popular, especially where I'm from, but it's not usually a book series you'll find people being super-fans of, and, more fittingly in my opinion, the CHERUB series by Robert Muchamore, which if you don't know, is about a bunch of pre-teen to full on teenager spies for the British Government, who go through a trauma rollercoaster befitting your average grimdark protagonist. Think like, James Bond, if he joined M15 at age 12 instead of M16 when he was a legal adult, and also his parents died in front of him.
Both of these books gave me a distinct appreciation for detailed fight scenes and the kind of character dynamics where you realise halfway through that, "holy shit this dialogue could fuel a therapy session," and then go, "holy shit, these relationships are these characters' definition of therapy."
Not sure if I've explained this well, it's pretty late, but I really needed to get this off my chest.
#CHERUB!#read it so many times over#so few people seem to remember it but i loved it#i think my version was helen moss' secret of the tombs seties#and how people can be connected through history#as well as her mystery island series that still has left me wanting to live on an island#but nobody has ever heard of it#and then there's many more standalones that no one has heard of that made me what i am

i'm not saying people shouldn't be reading more books, but i do think it's funny how many people thinking "reading comprehension" is just about how good you are at reading books and not like. criticial thinking skills.

Oh hell no, Beartown makes me so mad. IT'S A GREAT BOOK OF COURSE, BUT EVERYONE MAKE ME SO MAD I CAN EXPLODE
#an incredible thing about the series as a whole though is that you get to see the town grow#attitudes aren't shifted as quickly as we may hope#but slowly through a combination of events they might#we might learn to protect and help and save and condemn#until maybe a little girl doesn't need to be as scared#but also we can't let the things we lose along the way break us#and maybe the blossoms won't just be players#but a new awakening of the town as a whole#idk this series was a lot to me this year
