More books that aren't fully in prose. Be it novels in verse, books told in a script format, books with chunks of plays/podcasts/etc, or emails, I think they're really fun. Illuminae and Sadie are great examples of this.

And Journey to the West because I totally do not just love that book.

I'm too stupid for anything other than the most basic of plots, really. It's upsetting

Elizabeth Acevedo does really good novels-in-verse, so does Sonya Sones.

It's actually pretty easy to read, story wise. Sun Wukong whacks stuff with a giant stick 50% of the story.

I have a decent property so I won't need to see others. Gonna try yelling singing in the barn or something.
(Also I got to hug Mikayla last night. I haven't seen her irl since before quarantine. And I touched Josh's finger. Because him being him he insisted on being six feet apart. I love him so much.)

I've never been a fan of audiobooks or ebooks personally, I prefer physical ones.

group

I'm okay with ebooks, I just can't do audiobooks for some reason

group
@Pickles group

I used to really only read physical books, but then I got busier and started having less time to sit down and read, so I started using playaways from the library. And then I had less time to go to the library at all and cue Overdrive. I'm not a huge fan of ebooks, because they usually expire before I get to them, but I have listened to so many audiobooks on there, and I've used up all of my bookshelf space as well as holds. I really want to try reading a book while I listen to the audiobook, but that's gonna have to wait a while

I'm starting Six of Crows, is it any good?

Playaways are cool, I use them sometimes. The Westing Game is really good as a playaway!

group
@Pickles group

But I have to be doing something while I listen to audiobooks. So that's why I'm on level 2165 in candy crush-

Force me to read it with you. It's been on my shelf for months and I haven't gotten into it. But I haven't heard anything too bad about it

Yes it's super good!! If you haven't read Shadow and Bone the world is a bit confusing at first, but the ending (and Crooked Kingdom) are sooo worth it!!

group
@Pickles group

part of why I've been procrastinating. telling myself I want to read Shadow and Bone first and then. Not

JOOST??? I CAN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY WHEN HIS NAME IS JOOST.

I'm realizing that my reading taste is that of someone who is new to the bookish community and I am not here for it

That was me last year and it was the best reading year of my life

@ElderGod-Icefire

Pickles I still enjoy Basic Girl YATM on occasion and I am…ashamed of that, but I still enjoy it. So. We're in similar (the same?) Boats lol

group
@Pickles group

checks list I've read 13 books this year (heck that's a lot more than I thought) and probably exactly none of them are even remotely new lmao

Yup, I no longer like things like Twilight, Divergent, or The Hunger games, but like… YA dystopian heck yeah even though everyone else left it behind after THG

The Hunger Games is by far the most superior YA dystopian because it's actually got complexity and themes. Divergent could never.
