    In case you weren’t aware: Better Than The Movies author is Pro Israel so it helps that the book overall is not worth reading 😂

      Something mentioned it before but I wasn't sure if it's true, but now you're the second person saying that so it must be true.

    that's a shame on evil eye, especially bc you loved a woman is no man :/ I'm glad you liked Addie, but I do agree that it is one of those that gets SO much hype.

    I don't read much YA romance but Love from A to Z sounds amazing. And I love that cover!

      It's really good and this is coming from someone that doesn't enjoy YA romance too.

    I have Addie Larue sitting on my shelf, it’s been there for years. I’ve hesitated to read it because I read ‘The Sudden Appearance of Hope’ which was published first and also has a main protagonist that no one can remember when she’s no longer visible, a book I really enjoyed. While it has minor romance elements, the book is more about identity when no one knows you exist. It’d be interesting if you read Sudden Appearance and compared the two books.
    Sometimes the fantasy element is minimal…in this case the premise that one can make a deal with the devil to live forever, but simultaneously be forgotten. Not all fantasy has magic; some just has fantastical ideas.

    I DNF'd Pillars of the Earth about 1000 pages in because I just could not deal with Hamleigh. His only personality trait is "I am a man who was told no and I am ANGERY about it" and I just kept dreading his return to the story. And yeah the r*pe scenes I tended to skip..

      Wait a sec... you DNF-ed the book about 1000 pages in??? The whole story literally ends at page 983... after that is the short sequel to the book. You need to redefine DNF cause you literally finished the book 🤣

    • @verydistractedreader
      @verydistractedreader 11 місяців тому +1

      I DNFd it at about 200 left of the main story, must have just jumbled the numbers in my head (dyscalculia) so after 700 pages then, I guess.. I think I had "1000" in my head as where I stopped instead of the total@@KantuMutaka

    I heard that Pillars of the Earth had a lot of SA so I don't ever want to read it 😭. I'm so sorry it was such an awful experience!!
    I am a gamer, and I bought the Pillars of the Earth video game because it seems like a far better way to experience the story. I am only one chapter into the game but enjoy it so far.
