You should add an a to the end of your name so you can be Shakila

See I try to do this with one of my friends but he doesn't stick with the book lol. And none of my other friends read 😫

How does one even find a book club nowadays? I didn't realise they still exist.

Yeah it feels like grief, almost like someone close to you has died :(

As an author I agree :) I'd be happy you wanted to read my books badly enough to find a way

I like to have a memento myself of the occasion

As a writer, I understand how much it sucks when none of your family will even try to read your books. I don't think it's necessary to read the whole thing, but if you can read enough to have a discussion about it, it will be very encouraging for him.

I agree, dog-earing is great

I think part of my problem is similar to yours, I feel really crap about myself if I don't finish a book, which then puts me off reading at all, but I LOVE reading so that's why I'm now trying to get out of that mindset

Interesting. What % would you say counts as having read a book?

I think I'm just very picky about books, mainly about the writing style and if it "clicks" with me

Saving this post so I can listen to all of these amazing suggestions

🤣

Honestly it just sounds like he's insecure and worried you'll be better than him if he lets you practice. I wouldn't be surprised

Sounds like something you'd ask in r/relationships. But honestly, I'd just move out 🤣 he's an asshole

When I first heard it I thought it was Taylor Swift? Now I just think it's typical Tweenie cringe

I see it so much as well, and it's really frustrating. But it's not really one person's fault, I'm sure editors are more than qualified to find these mistakes, they just don't have the time because they're pushed too hard for work

Oh yeah 100% agree with you, only meant the pacing of the novel is very different to most of today's horror

Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with Dracula. It definitely wasn't something we would clarify as horror by today's standards, but compared to other classics I was forced to read in high school I thought Dracula was pretty decent. It is very slow though, but I think that's just the way people used to write, whereas today we like instant gratification

Enemy by imagine dragons is one that comes to mind. I'd know that opening sound from anywhere. But I'm sure there are many, just can't think off the top of my head

😍

Not sure about speed, but Alec Benjamin is a pretty talented lyricist and his songs are almost like a tamer version of rap

Definitely was going to say this too
