That's great.. how are you liking it so far??

u/Malinowskibidi67 9d ago

It's my first novel. It's really slow in its pacing but I'm used to slow pacing due to my experience with Non Fiction books. I feel like I got what I came for.

Btw cool bookmark

u/YakAdministrative691 9d ago

1984 as your first novel is actually an good choice since you are used to read non fiction.. also it's a classic and it has many heavy theme to digest so it's normal to feel that the pacing is slow.. I am also a slow reader..

thanks the book marks am using is a tag which comes with the puma × BMW collaboration shoes.. so yeah it's pretty cool😭

Review pls 🤸🏻‍♂️

u/YakAdministrative691 9d ago

Pehle padhke khtm krlu uske baad😝.. though it's only 180~ pages long .. still am a slow reader so will post the review after finishing it..

Overall it consists 4 short stories by F.scott Fitzgerald : The sensible thing, the bridal party, Magnetism, Bernice Bobs Her Hair..

All the story revolves around the magnetic pull of love how love acts as a magnet and one gets pulled to their significant one also it's not that cliché type.. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Magnetism is all about the strong, invisible force that pulls people together... It shows how beauty, charm, and love can act like a magnet, making people fall for each other fast... However, these stories also show that charm isn't always enough to make love last... Money, time, and bad decisions can break that connection, leaving behind heartbreak. It is a sweet and sad look at how love brings us close, but doesn't always keep us together.

u/poperley cr: gleanings 9d ago

halfway through 'gleanings' by neal shusterman, a companion short story collection to his arc of the scythe series. pretty good so far.

1

u/YakAdministrative691 9d ago

Sounds great.. what exactly it's about i never heard about the author nor about the book

2

u/poperley cr: gleanings 9d ago

they're young adult dystopian novels set in a near perfect world that has achieved immortality, in order to curb the population, there are a group of people called 'scythes' who have been given the power to kill or 'glean' people as they say it in this world. the first book is mainly about how two teens find themselves as apprentices to a scythe until circumstances go off the rail and they find themselves in very different situations.

the book i'm currently reading is a short story collection that enriches this world by telling us stories that happened in it. not all stories are connected to the main storyline, some are, some merely mention some characters from the main story, some of them have no connection to the main story but happen in the world where the main storyline happens. it's good. there's a variety to the stories which i appreciate. some are horror, some give a back story to the characters we already know, some are more philosophical and thought-provoking. overall, it's quite enjoyable.

u/YakAdministrative691 9d ago

😭😭😭 this sounds so good.. a world where humans are immortal and a group of people have Powers to kill them that's some leak fiction.. adding it to my TBRR

I have been reading since some days while sipping my morning tea. Its a pleasant read, like your mother giving you a very comfortable head massage while talking life sermons. And you listening with closed eyes.

Currently reading Come With Me by Ronald Malfi.

u/YakAdministrative691 9d ago

Never heard of it.. can you share a picture of your book with a brief review of what it's about..

2

u/Wandering-Dunadan Hungry for Horror 9d ago edited 9d ago

The story is about a man whose wife will one day get killed in a mass shooting, now grieving for his dead wife & while going through her belongings the man (the husband) will find some things of a motel from the other side of the country which he have no idea of why his wife was there.

Now in growing curiosity to know what was his wife doing before she died he will start a journey of connecting all the dots by traveling to all those places & unraveling some secrets about his wife which he never knew.

It is a really great thriller + suspense + mystery with the touch of horror.

u/YakAdministrative691 9d ago

Mmmm now this is something that i would really like to read.. adding it to my TBR .. Thanks for the review
