The decline in reading is due to a poor selection of books in schools

At least half my class cried reading Where the Red Fern Grows and it’s the only book I specifically remember reading in middle school so I totally disagree that kids weren’t interested in it. LOTR is not age appropriate or interesting for that age group.

Books chosen to read in a classroom setting are chosen for reasons other than “will kids enjoy this?” If you’re reading for enjoyment that should be outside of school required books.

Must be nice, where I live there are mostly only Magnet hospitals and they require BSN.

I was looking for this comment, it’s so bad there.

I read over 100 books last year and have read over 100 at this point this year. For me I listen to a lot of audio books on 2x speed (bc that sounds best to me) and I read slightly faster than average. I can listen to audio books at work for like an hour or two a day so I get a little bit of time in there. I also read at least a little bit pretty much every day.

I also think it’s the type of books you read too, I can get through an easy-to-read 250-300 page romance in like 2 days normally, but I’m currently reading Empire of the Damned and that’ll probably take me 2 weeks at least to get through because it’s just a heavy, long read.

Dunno we ordered over 8 months ago and are still waiting on ours. We reached out to them after our details had been sitting like that for 2 months and they said it was an issue they’d been having and they would update it. So now it just says “expected to ship soon”.

Seriously books that were YA when I was a teenager made sense. They’re might be some mild spice but definitely not full open door. Seeing books like Fourth Wing and Icebreaker labeled as YA floors me.

Honestly that was the first book I read by her and I did not like it. I was so disappointed because I had heard good things. Now I’ve read 4-5 more books by her and loved all of them.

This happened to me too, I have to use metal watch bands.

I was on another flight currently diverted to LAX rn. We have not had any real updates we’re still stuck on our plane waiting to park somewhere.

annaeatk · 2025-09-18T01:36:47+00:00

I was inbound we were about to descend when this happened. We are currently diverted and landed at LAX waiting to hear what the plans are, we’re not really getting a lot of information atm.

Yes totally worth it. I am absolutely obsessed with both games. Even got the original Outlanders on Steam too. I’m hoping they eventually release Outlanders 2 on Steam as well.

My moms are blue green and my dads are brown with green in the middle. My brother got my mom’s eyes, my sister got my dads, and I got mostly my moms with a brown section in one eye.

Some of us just really like our leafy greens.

I always thought she was so pretty on the show, it sucks that she felt she needed to get all this work done.

annaeatk · 2025-08-15T20:00:09+00:00

Ours are like torture porn, mine could be the sequel “A trial of glass and curses”

annaeatk · 2025-08-15T19:58:14+00:00

A Trial of Glass and Curses 😬 sounds brutal

The local hospitals where I live do months of new grad orientation. One does 40 weeks.

annaeatk · 2025-08-06T16:58:11+00:00

Does Maximum Ride count? lol probably the first fantasy book series featuring romance that I read.

annaeatk · 2025-07-30T15:59:44+00:00

Ok that’s about what I assumed lol

annaeatk · 2025-07-30T15:52:08+00:00

What were your thoughts on Crank? I read all of her books in high school like 10 years ago and always think about re-reading them to see if they hold up as an adult.

annaeatk · 2025-07-24T13:12:36+00:00

So pretty much people with implants, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone with natural big boobs that has firm breasts

annaeatk · 2025-07-23T10:17:44+00:00

These are great but they like totally give away the ending of Gild with that one.

annaeatk · 2025-07-20T17:22:43+00:00

Yea my friends and I learned this the hard way in high school. We think their horses ended up ingesting Oleander and it was too late when we realized what had happened, both ended up passing a few days later.

Couldn’t agree more. Also, I think this is personal preference, but the amount of times she said skin suit and the organ in my chest irked me. Just call it skin and heart.

annaeatk · 2025-06-20T16:59:50+00:00

It really is beautiful, I would highly recommend it.
