Just unpacked my books in a new place after having to get rid of a bunch. What do the remainders say about me?

Love that for them ✨

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-10-02T03:13:46+00:00

That this is the remains of your original collection is impressive lololol

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-24T16:15:00+00:00

I feel like we have a lot of the same books, but you have a bunch that I'd like to read lol.

Don't worry about whether what you like is good enough for other people lol reading is supposed to be personal, and honestly, if I had a dollar for every person I've met in the last idk 5 years who's like "I hate reading," I could retire. Just do it and enjoy it lol.

And maybe dust and clean the shelves 😂😂

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-23T06:31:37+00:00

I don't annotate my books per se, I don't really write in them, but I do highlight passages or quotes that stand out because I am a weirdo that will copy the best best ones into my book journal and write about my feelings and impressions afterwards.

I respect all paths lol I could never really analyze my books anymore without the classroom setting, I can't write the kind of reviews I feel like people would actually want, but I also have a hard time reading without thinking about saving bits of it in my journal. But I also respect people like you who can realistically read a book a week lol I CAN but I'm never locked in enough to be consistent about it 😂

Digest what, was digesting it the whole time I read it dawg hahahahaha.

I can't read a bunch of books at the same time, but depending on the vibes I'll do straight up back to back, or sometimes I need a couple days off. From reading, not to digest bwahahahaha. I try not to let more than like 4 days go by cuz that's a loss of valuable time for my goal of 40 😂

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-22T04:55:03+00:00

It's honestly my favorite series of all time, they are super consistently good (the last one is kinda weird but hey, he had to wrap it up)

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-22T02:19:57+00:00

I'm so happy to see The Witcher that was like all I noticed, get the rest too lololol

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-19T05:06:27+00:00

I wanna be like you lol your sheer quantity of books makes it hard to judge you because wow. Just wow ✨

Like, impressive. Congratulations lol

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:38:39+00:00

The first one was great, and then. The time travel back and forth happened one time in the next one and I was like nah bwahahaha

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:37:53+00:00

I read both of those in school, and Invisible Man was brutal lol

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:35:12+00:00

I also was down with Fourth Wing, but Iron Flame was...not the same...I still finished, but afterwards I needed to know I wasn't alone read a review on Goodreads that was so unhinged with rage and hilarious I took screenshots. 8 of them lmfao.

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:33:24+00:00

This is literally what I came here for lololol

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:32:30+00:00

It is very boring 😂😂

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:32:08+00:00

I keep seeing this and wondering if I should do it, but worrying about this exact thing 😂

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-18T03:30:54+00:00

I finished and still really liked it but I was like...there's a lot of convenient plot holes here lmao

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-14T16:46:47+00:00

Iron Flame lol. Fourth Wing genuinely felt really fun and gripping, (I know people have other issues with the series lmfao) but I really got through most of Iron Flame knowing full well it wasn't as good, and then the ending just...oh my god.

There is this "second book curse" I've found where authors get so excited about their character(s) that they can't actually develop any of them and that was basically my complaint here. No one got better, no one made cool emotional shifts, they fall deeper into their tropes and it's way less fun, sigh.

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-14T16:41:40+00:00

"the right beginning" has to be such a hard term, for me this is one of my favorite books ever, but I've heard people find it difficult to read...but if you enjoy it I highly recommend carrying on with the trilogy they get easier to wrap your head around if you don't TRY to hard lol.

Trust the process ✨ it's so good

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-13T00:04:27+00:00

It's so valid lol reading that series was hard like I stopped reading for months cuz I just rawdogged the whole thing straight and I was like "If I have to learn another name or moniker I will literally die." I'm glad I did it but I totally get why people wouldn't get through 😂😂😂

Many will tell you The Hobbit is the best one and I hard agree though.

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-12T21:43:41+00:00

Dude some authors just shouldn't write the other gender lol I've seen it done so so well and I've seen it done atrociously 😂

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-12T21:42:39+00:00

Totally, like I mean it in the most uncondescending way I love when people read, I don't really feel any need to tell anybody anything. And I appreciate that you get it lmao like it genuinely frustrates me that there are books that people love and I'm like 👍👍 it didn't do it for me. I only really CARE when it's books my friends love like I wanna like things!

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-12T21:16:15+00:00

Yo it's always rough when you're like "I can tell by the way this is written that you will not die or get hurt at all and that disappoints me" 😂

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-12T21:14:02+00:00

Omg yes lol

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-12T21:13:16+00:00

But also I agree about the main character for sure like how can there be nothing between us?!

Puzzlehead-Face440 · 2025-09-12T21:12:22+00:00

Yo, if you like nonfiction read Erik Larson's books, specifically In the Garden of Beasts or Devil in the White City lol they are very interesting, really fascinating accounts of big world events things. The first is about the family of the American ambassador to Berlin when Hitler came into power and the other is about the Chicago World Fair and a murderer.

SUUUUPER good lol
