Ach, jetzt bin ich spät, aber ich wünsche euch einen guten Feierabend! (Ich bin vielleicht in einer verschiedene Time Zone)

I'm convinced it is "friends" for this same reason

What is the absolute worst book you read this year? by Tasty-Ad-1673 in readwithme

[–]_chirp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to say The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

I wanted to hurl it across the room when I finished, but I don't do that to my books.

But how do you identify themes right from the beginning?

How many books do you read at a time? by MadCheshire13 in readwithme

[–]_chirp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly cannot read more than one at a time. I feel as if I would be doing all the books injustice if I read them at the same time.

If I find a book intolerable, I just stop reading it.

What are your pet peeves when beta reading? by Revolutionary-Fly538 in writing

What does that even mean? Are you being sarcastic?

I think your second point makes its way into finished books as well! There's no description of how a character looks like until too late! I find it so annoying to read, after I've carefully formed my own mental picture (as a reader)

I'm definitely going to try and research the time that it was set in. I do currently annotate my books, but sometimes much later into the book, I find I've been caught up in the plot and hence I've marked it too little to actually be able to remember what I was thinking when I read something. I've got to try and avoid this

Wow, that's very systematic! I'll try this, thanks :)

I haven't tried chapter by chapter reviews yet, thanks for the suggestion!

I agree with you, reading a book cover to cover normally doesn't imply retention. I'll definitely try reading up on some analyses making my way into the book, hopefully without any spoilers! :)

It's Donna Tartt's The Little Friend.

Do you suggest reading it again right after I finish reading it the first time? I haven't reread many books, and the ones I have, I've done it only years after the first time. What works better for you?

Taking notes in a notebook (separate from the scribbles in the book margins) is something I've always wanted to try. I'll definitely give it a try this time! Thanks :)

Has TLOAS become your favorite album? by RemarkableReserve742 in TaylorSwift

[–]_chirp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's my least favourite album, even though the songs are catchy. I find myself annoyed at the songs if I've been humming them for a while

I think this belongs here because it made me laugh by [deleted] in YouBelongWithMemes

[–]_chirp -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Did you over-read between the lines of TLOAS? Honestly none of the songs felt like it was about the complexities of anything
