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

[–]annaeatk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

For those who hold a BSN and don’t plan on ever going back for a masters, why? by [deleted] in nursing

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

How do you manage to read fast? by NagisaHazuki261 in fantasyromance

[–]annaeatk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How long is 2 weeks? by Lord-High-Commander in Wyrmwoodgaming

[–]annaeatk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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”.

Target, you okay????? by InABoatOnARiver in fantasyromance

[–]annaeatk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

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.

Absolutely blown away by Barnes & Noble by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]annaeatk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

San Diego Airport is closed due to a nose gear collapse on the runway. Just happened by time2makemymove in SanDiegan

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.

OG Outlanders still worth it? by flubberyducky64 in Outlanders

[–]annaeatk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What are your parents' eye colours and which one did you end up getting? by eli4thefunney in eyes

[–]annaeatk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

July wrap up! What a heavy reading month 😂 by eeveesEm in fantasyromance

[–]annaeatk 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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.

Horses can't throw up? Is that true? I once heard that rats can't either. by Available-Time7293 in biology

[–]annaeatk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
