      Daniella Bedford Once I was reading at a party and someone was like “What are you reading? It must be very exciting.”
      And I was like “It’s terrible. I was confused the whole time. Can’t even tell you what this book is about.”
      Her: “Well, I guess you can stop then?”
      Me: “Already at 90%”

  • @Jeramie26
    @Jeramie26 4 роки тому

    Before, I do that monthly TBR with 3 to 4 books a month and like you, I have a monthly buying of books (bonus point if there is a book sale). And because of that. I ended up reading books what I bought instead of following what is in my TBR. So what I do is list a book to read by shelves. And it works for me. If it's a series I will read in series and vice versa. I get bored sticking to one genre of books. My bookshelves is mix of different kinds of book genre.

  • @ilsenleon2378
    @ilsenleon2378 4 роки тому

    1. I would say that I pick through either readathons, series that I haven’t finished, authors to catch up on, and books that I own. It’s a varied mix.
    2. Honestly I’m so used to just keep going to see if it gets better. But I am trying to DNF.
    3. I’m that person that hopes to complete their Goodreads goal and I will make sure that I make it. Oops.
    4. Book covers need to match. I considered not buying the sequels or the series if they don’t match. Especially with hardcovers and paperbacks.
    5. I talk to my best friends about the books. Or my boyfriend. I just try to talk to any of them because I have a lot of feelings.
    6. I will cry in public. Do not care if people see. Again, I have a lot of feelings.
    7. I always reread the book prior especially if it’s been more than a year since I read it. That’s always been the rule.
    8. I only let people who are close to me borrow books because if I let everyone, then I will never see that book again.
    9. I never had that problem. In a reading slump I just don’t read anything and to get back, I just try to get back to reading something that I love.
    10. I’m not buying as much new releases anymore but back then, I just bought everything XD. But now I have a system for unread owned books and depending on the number, then I can treat myself. But I usually buy new sequels.
    11. My god it varies. Sometimes I read it immediately or other times it just stays there unread for who knows how long.
    Here’s for the answers no one asks for but yea I love discussing these kind of things!

      My computer is being weird about links right now, but if it works, this list of book subscription options might be good for you. If the link does not work, just paste the underlined portion into google. I really like scribd and kindle unlimited, but I'm sure they are all good. Some other good ways to get a lot of books affordably are on platforms like Overdrive (access to library books, audiobooks, video, etc. online), Audiobooks.com (there is an app option, as well as for computer, tablets, etc. May only work on IOS, but I'm not sure, but this is free), and BookBub (notifications for free books and discounts).

    I will say, I've only ever had two people return a book to me both damaged in some way as well. The rest never have. That aside, I don't terribly mind lending out books still...it's not like I have precious heirloom originals, I know if it's something I'm recommending, it's probably one I've had for a while and I know I can usually find at a second hand store for decently inexpensive. I'm also ok spending my money on books--it's supporting an industry that I love. I also rarely borrow books from friends, I had one that I borrowed from a friend the last time I ever saw her. I kept it for YEARS in the hopes of eventually giving it back to her...I moved several times, she is now married with kids...the list goes on but I finally donated it last year because at this point, over a decade later, I'm probably not going to get it back to her. I made the good faith attempt at eventually doing so, so I'm hoping that counts for something.

    So it’s about the Knight Angel Trilogy (by Brent weeks).I bought the first book of the trilogy in a second hand bookstore, then when I went to buy the sequels I specifically looked for matching covers. So I bought them, but when they arrived, they were matching the cover, but not height. So now I have three books of matching book covers but the last two are about an inch taller then the first 😤🤦‍♂️😂
