Reply to Booktuber recommendations? by moonrisekingdomaway

I read a lot of genre and the two channels that I can stand are:

Media Death Cult

Mike's Book Reviews

I find book tube to not be worth my time. Not for reviews. From time to time I will watch a vid just to find some new titles but I generally do not pay attention to the reviews. Mostly because it is awash in a sea of YA. Also a lot of the reviews will read the same books and gush over them. I read it and find that it is a boring piece of trash fiction that is a romance novel masquerading as an adventure story.

Reply to How much do you re-read, if at all, when picking a book back up the next day? by strikeblazer

I don't. I will stop in the middle of a chapter but I stop at the end of a page. When I restart I just go on to the next page.

Reply to What's the best looking book you own? by editingtabletremblin

Sub Press 2nd edition Gardens of the Moon. the artwork on it is great. And a self published leather bound edition of Wapshot Chronicle by Cheever. he went all out on it. Leather bound, gold gilt pages, gold embossing, hand sewn binding. It just looks like a substantial book.
