Hello everyone! I had very big reading plans for March but life got in the way so Iv’e barely gotten the chance. I have been reading the Maze Runner with a friend and just barely started Gone.
same here, my life got busy all of a sudden :/ the maze runner is SOOO good tho!!
Mod
Maze runner is sooooooooo gooooood!!
I feel like when I was younger I was a much more vivacious reader and I could have finished a book like the Maze Runner in a day. Or maybe I just had more time on my hands. But now that I’ve started writing my own book I pay a lot of attention to the structure of a sentence, punctuation marks, and what was going through the author’s head as they wrote it. So where I used to just zip through the pages I now pay a lot of attention to the flow and style of the writing. Tbh I wish I could read as much as when I was younger. I would often read like a 500 page book in two day at the most. But now I have more stuff I have to do, more stuff I want to do, and I simply don’t read as fast anymore.
Oh yeah, probably its the time, but same with me, my reading speed has not decreased though, but I pay a lot of attention now to the style of writing.
@Gourica I don’t really think I read that much slower, but I do backtrack a lot now.
Yeah I understand..now we just keep thinking about a few lines, how it could have a hidden meaning, how well written it is, and all that. Observation basically :)
I was thinking of posting my short stories online. Does anyone know a website or something for that? I was thinking maybe Wattpad but I’m not sure
Mod
Wattpad is nice! I have started reading fanfics on it!!

My next door neighbor gave me a couple books for my birthday today. Everything, Everything and The sun is also a star by Nicola Yoon. I also bought some books from half price books. H2O by Virginia Bergin and Me, and Earl, and the dying girl by Jesse andrews
I’m really excited to read them but I already have so many book I haven’t read yet...
I should really stop buying them until I finish the ones I have lol
What do you think smells better: Old books or new books?
My April TBR:Twilight- Stephanie Meyer (don’t ask me why)
To kill a mockingbird- Harper Lee
Gone- Michael Grant
Me and Earl and the Dying girl- Jesse Andrews
The tigers daughter- K Arsenault Rivera
H2O- Virginia Bergin
Everything Everything- Nicola Yoon
The sun is also a star- Nicola Yoon
The unlikelies- Carrie Firestone
And also, hopefully if I finish all of those then also We were liars by E. lockheart
I’d love to do a buddy read if anyone else has any of those on their TBR
I would love to do a buddy reads, but I have read most of the books u have here
I just found out that my sister has the entire Maze Runner series, and she just lent me the other books in the series. I’m super excited to get started. I watched the first movie last night and it was a bit different from the books, but it was interesting to see how they adapted it. I’m also pretty excited to watch Me and Earl and the Dying girl, the book was awesome and the movie looks great, but it’s not in any streaming services for free so unfortunately if I want to watch it I’m going to have to pay...
The other day I got some glasses. We had to wait about two months since my eye appointment for them. Everything looks super clear now, I’m near sighted so things like reading and writing look fine but I need glasses to see thing far away clearly. I used to think that I had normal vision but with these glasses it’s so much better. I like watching tv more because I can actually see things instead of blobs of color and it makes the TVs look super clear like their 4K
I REALLY want to read the rest of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse books because the show just came out and I want to read the books first, but I already have so many books I haven’t finished yet and I don’t want to buy more until I finish those. The struggles of being a bookworm...

I just started shadow and bone

Today when I got home from the store I found the first four Harry Potter books on my desk! Apparently my sister had heard that I’d wanted to read them and found them in the garage. I’m so excited! A few weeks ago I didn’t even know that she used to like to read.
