plaidarms Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I had no idea there was a book thread here. Hello fellow readers! I finished Murakami’s Audition recently, and just picked up The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and The Devil and the Dark Water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayteenage Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 finished carrie soto is back. another okay historical fluff from jenkins reid. felt like her goblet of fire given how clearly structured it is. wonder what she'll do next; she's already done actress lead, singer lead, model lead, and athlete lead.

Daisy Jones & The Six is coming to a screen near you on March 6th! Wait I didn’t realise this was so close! It looks great already I’m glad this is releasing before the Evelyn Hugo adaption because this book was the superior one in my opinion, deserves the hype more so hopefully this will make that happen. I fear this adaption will probably be much better than the Evelyn Hugo one too… it being on Netflix is a bit of a red flag and the fact that it is a movie instead of a series is not very promising. This seems like it has more going for it, I’m excited! 46 minutes ago, fridayteenage said: finished carrie soto is back. another okay historical fluff from jenkins reid. felt like her goblet of fire given how clearly structured it is. wonder what she'll do next; she's already done actress lead, singer lead, model lead, and athlete lead. Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones were great, but Malibu Rising was so dull it makes me worried. Haven’t read Carrie Soto yet but will in 2023, if it’s on the level of Malibu Rising though then I fear for TJR future… haven’t really heard much about it in general though which is a bit surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fountain Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 How did everybody’s 2022 reading stats turn out? I read 20,541 pages so about 56 a day which doesn’t seem too bad. For 2023 I think I’m aiming to read 50 books. It’s not a super high goal but I got a bit burned out towards the end of 2022 so I want something achievable while also allowing breaks when I’m not feeling it because reading as a chore does not work for me and messes up my motivation even more My first book of the year is The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro, my last unread Ishiguro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm quite happy with the progress I've made the last two years. Goal for this year is to - actually finish the books I already have and not buy any more until I get through a chunk of my existing pile. - to have a combination of fiction and non fiction. Aiming for around 52 books but not super hung up on the number itself. - having 1-2 ongoing reads at any given time. I've screwed myself over in the past having way too many ongoing and just forgetting what's happening. - trying a few genres I don't normally touch. Just to branch out and challenge myself.

It’s a bit on the nose but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’m looking forward to and will read the sequel but the ending was kind of abrupt so I’m unsure what to expect. 23 minutes ago, fridayteenage said: older books: They Never Learn by layne fargo I’m hoping to read this one this year judged by what I’ve seen about it. 50 minutes ago, saucy said: Mess.
