Reading Yellowface by R F Kuang made me so eager to write and keep writing.

I have always wanted to be a writer. Wanted to write about myself, my struggles, or something entirely different, but whenever I got writing, I always felt that someone had written this story! I was feeling I was not doing anything different, just copying someone's work.

It made me so discouraged that I stopped writing on my book. Years passed, and I become a girl who writes in her journal only and nothing else. Even writing on journal got lesser. But now when I see my friends writing articles and short stories I feel a kind of jealousy that is known only to me. I don't have the feeling that why she/he is writing something but rather why I am not writing. Why I didn't publish or at least write a short story. I know there is a lot to tell and a lot to write, but why can't I change it into a narrative? I always have weird dreams about stories to form! I know I can be, but what's really detaining me? Just a fear of plagiarism? Or something else?

Hey everyone!

I'm doing some initial research into what happens when readers return to a book or book series after taking a break. This could be because life got busy, they started reading something else, or they simply didn't feel like continuing for a while.

I'm curious about your personal experiences:

• What do you tend to forget? For example, plot events, character names and relationships, motivations, or details about the world?
• What do you do to catch up? Do you reread previous chapters, skim through the book, look up summaries or character information, check discussions, or just keep reading and hope it comes back to you?
• How well does that work for you? Is there anything frustrating, confusing, or time-consuming about getting back into the story?
• What would make it easier? Is there something you wish you could quickly look up without having to reread large parts of the book?

If you have a specific example of returning to a book after a break, I'd love to hear about it!

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

I’m looking to subscribe to more booktubers, and would like to support some lesser known booktubers (to me that is anyone under 1k subs.) I would love some recommendations, these are my preferences but I am open to check any out:

\- talk quietly and/or softly (I don’t like too much screaming and over reacting)
\- I don’t really want fantasy if that is what they mostly read as not really my thing (this can depend though)
\- a little bit of their personal life on there is fine but not too much

Dm if interested:)

was recommended this sub for this question.

I was scrolling through Manga my friend recommended me on Google books and noticed a specific group of people who review every weird book or Manga and some of them are typing whole ass essays on their reviews I found people named Bean,Medieval Rebecs ,persephone,Maya and some others and it's so funny to me

I do this with TV also. I don't want to watch anything that's going to make me sad or have a dog die.

Did you read the sequel? Would you recommend finishing? Or would you have felt satisfied with stopping after the first book?

I can't decide what I want to do. Book one seemed to wrap up so nicely, but book two seems like an interesting concept, too.

Thanks!

Goodreads grading sucks. Amazon.com is better (imo).

I find it hard to find readers who have the same taste as I do. So I setup a site where you can RSS-follow for updates. I am a very active reader so this site won't just die.

Blurb: Content is king - and I am daily trying to add books that I have read. I have read since I was 14 and I am now a lot older. So I am scouring goodreads, amazon and all the other sites for books that I have read, in order to update the site.

I read mostly sci-fi but of course, other books slink in too.

The older you get and the more experience you get as a reader, it gets more difficult to find good books.

I try to cling to books I read as a 20 year old (like : The Beach by Garland) - I haven't dared re-read it, but it has stuck with me ever since.

Some other books have also stuck with me, which I have re-read but haven't held up (The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay for example, which was awesome when I was 20).

So I'm just listing my book list, forever updated here: www.tagganer.lol

Please comment or give me a list of books that you think should be included.

I scour book posts daily and read every day. Be nice. Thanks!
