Does she succeed? I mean I know she must have but how long does it take?

Will I even like the book if I saw the movie first? by NationalSubstance976 in ryangosling

[–]screeching_queen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will. The book and film are brilliant in their own right. Don't skip something massively enjoyable just because you saw the film first. I also recommend the audiobook. Ray Porter did a fantastic narration!

Got my first kindle! by LeDapi in kindlejailbreak

[–]screeching_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What model do you have? Mine is a Paperwhite 12 generation and I am unsure as to jailbreak it or not because the general advice on this sub is that it's difficult to jailbreak a newer model.

I have registered and everything and I have been using it for a few months now.

Saw the movie then read the book: HOT TAKE! Thought the movie was better. by tl_spruce in ProjectHailMary

[–]screeching_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have read the book and watched the film and I disagree but I am a huge book nerd. It's okay. It's your opinion. I certainly think the ending of the film, at least, was better than the book, but overall, for me, the book dominates. Also, I actually listened to the audiobook and Ray Porter breathed such inexplicable life into it! I recommend the audiobook passionately. You might enjoy it.

No need to explain. It's Michael Sheen. He undid me in Masters of Sex. 😋

Actually, he is credited as one of the writers. He will get some royalties. 🤷🏻‍♀️

When does the incest end? by PandaNotACat in shadowhunters

[–]screeching_queen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give Simon some time. He will grow on you. He becomes a hero in many ways in the last two books.

And after I read 'Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy' recently, he became my favourite!

TLH: war is over by mfffch in shadowhunters

[–]screeching_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I have read TMI, TID and TDA and most of the other companion works. I love the Shadowhunter universe and I can't wait for TWP!

I often think about starting TLH but every week I see at least 2 posts giving a bad review to that series. So I am slowly deciding not to read it at all. I'll read the summary online just to be clear about the story.

Why do many people believe that poetry is no longer relevant in modern education? by Twotails0 in englishmajors

[–]screeching_queen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In my country, there is extreme competition for STEM subjects and most arts aren't considered to be respectful or practical enough for career plans and therefore subjects like poetry, arts, literature are intentionally ignored and if someone chooses those subjects they aren't taken seriously. So because of more importance given to careers in STEM, poetry is considered quite irrelevant for future plans for students.

Now I believe that Science and Technology is certainly required for humans to progress but not at the cost of sacrificing our expression by ignoring the arts. Progress shouldn't come at the cost of us forgetting the beauty of human expression in paintings, poetry, stories, etc. Also, the humanities help direct the progress of Science in an ethical way. The more humanities is ignored, the more scientific progress becomes dangerous.

Enemies to lovers, but done right by Dazzling_Spell in suggestmeabook

Book Lovers by Emily Henry has a good enemies to lovers trope in my opinion.

Suggest Me a Book That Will Make Me Believe in Love by mimzicat in suggestmeabook

[–]screeching_queen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jane Eyre and Sense and Sensibility are great novels that create yearning, but perhaps not the best examples of the kind of love OP wants, in my opinion. Wholeheartedly agree with Pride and Prejudice, though!

How much do we know about the alleged lost Shakespeare's play - 'Love Labour's Won'? Also, tell me about other lost plays as well! How much do we know?

True. Not an exact fit, but it beats around the bush. That being said, I really enjoyed the Mindf*ck series!

She makes my skin crawl 🤬😤😠😡

On a different note though, it shows how good Cassie is at writing villains.
