i'm in the middle of 47 book series 🤡organizing my series reading 

Same!

me too! Thought of the Discworld-series. And I think there ar eactually 48 books in the Discworld.

saaaame

@@sweetylou9807 LOL that’s what i thought too!

That was how I first read it too...I was like "what?" Oh man.

Personally I don’t even understand rereading. No matter how much I liked the book I’m losing precious time rereading it when there’s so many new good books out there.

@@WateryFire enjoyment. That's the point of it in the first place

@@spoopify5560 I don’t get enjoyment anymore once I know what will happen on the next page 🤷‍♀️

@@WateryFire ok

I feel personally attacked. I always feel like o have to finish a series I start and generally do not read multiple books or series at a time. Currently reading "remembrance of humanities past". Finished the first book. Although I love the story the pacing is horrible, half the book reads like summaries of scientific journals pasted back to back. I love science behind sci fi and don't mind technical explanations but cixin really takes it way too far and when I was around 70% of the book I really was over his writing style forced myself through to the ending. The ending was abrupt and pretty bad too lol.. But I still feel like I have to read the series until the end. Currently reading the second book. The second and third book are supposedly much better. I've read 80 ot so pages of the second book and sorta feel like I have to force myself. I just want to know how the story ends tbh. Since the story itself is good. And the parts where the writer is actually writing about characters and events are good. But when he starts explaining a physics problem for 7 pages, then has 2 pages furthering the story or just characters talking to each other, only to explain some other physics or science thing for 5 pages it becomes really, really frustrating. It's cool cixin but you could explain the same thing in a paragraph. Why the f are you giving these super super long and technical explanations for everything

Acotar series is such a guilty pleasure (especially ACOMAF)🤣

Bruh idk how y'all do it 😂 when it first came out I tried it, never picked it back up for years. Found it again, read it and was like yeah this sucks *donates to library* 😂😂 you guys have motivation, drive and courage because I could never lol

@@my_name_is_love No cuz it took me a whole moth to finish acotar I didn't like it at all but the rest of the books I finished in like 2 days

For me is the same. But I never call a book trash, for me it's just a big guilty pleasure.

Trash like Jackie Collins' books?

So sick Lexi!!!!

Congrats! Hope you like it.

Congrats, Lexi!

All librarians should be named Marion IMHO (btw if you've no Earthly idea what-the-hey I'm talking about, please search "The Music Man").

That’s my dream job!!!!

I couldn’t have said it better, Tolkien is one of my favorite authors/storytellers.

I have not read the books but I love the movies including the The Hobbit, now I want to read them!

I completely agree, it's beautiful. All books are personal and no one book can be for everyone but if you get anything out of the stories of Arda, it can give you so much. My first experience with The Hobbit was when it was read to me as a child, and it felt like it leant so well to that by the way he wrote The Hobbit in particular.

They're called Ents.

@@floogelhornzzz4770 Tolkien loved trees in real life. He was a huge environmentalist and had a passion for nature especially trees. OP definitely knows that the tree characters in his book are called ents. That's not what they were talking about.

Yeah, she _is_ pretty cute. Emmster, you just made a conquest. (How would you like India?)

Really? She seems obnoxious

Right?

I believe that's because YA has more young readers who are quite active on social media.

@@charu2774 Majority are of tiktokers I believe

@@angelicamonsanto5857 yes

Same

I have severe adhd so reading comprehension is a challenge for me audiobooks changed my life.

I loooved the imagination so much. And it really felt like an adventure

I love the series as well. I am sad she didn’t like it but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I fight with myself every time I read another one though because I feel the writing style is very childish however it has a place in my heart and always will!

@@kaylawheeler4756 I completely understand. I find it impossible to get into Fantasy. I love Tolkien and Miss Peregrine. That’s it. Lol! I find the Miss Peregrine series to be extremely soothing. 🤤😉

I was very excited about this series, myself. But the main character is unbearable, in my opinion.

@@jessatlife that is one of my issues with it as well because he’s just very whiny and has a sort of god complex

Ah that’s so amazing you should check out the tv series next!!

The last few books are my personal favorites, you have some wonderful books ahead of you

@@emmiereads I'll definitely ❤❤

@@frozendonut722 beautiful

My absolute favorite!! Next you have to try the Emily Starr trilogy by L.M. Montgomery. Wow wow wow. All of the wonder of Anne and a girl with a slightly different personality and very different backstory/future. OH MY WORD. I WAS SOBBING. AND SCREAMING. AND SMILING.

Which one is #8? I'm trying to remember haha

@@frozendonut722 Rilla of Ingleside :)

@@Faye_L that's actually the only one I haven't read yet! My favorites are anne of ingleside and rainbow valley

@@frozendonut722 If you enjoyed those, you'll love Rilla too! Anne's kids were all such great characters.

I haven’t read that series in so long but I did finish it at one point - I feel bad that I don’t remember the last few books’ plots

I actually feel like the 2nd and 3rd books were not good compared to the first one.... they had their moments, but overall it left me disappointed with the series. Maybe Emma can roast them if she doesn't like them 😅

One of my favorite trilogies. AND, when you finish it, you can read the newer overlapping trilogy set in the same reality. Pullman didn't want His Dark Materials to be promoted as a children's series actually, there's so many adult themes in the books, but apparently publishers insist on categorizing stories by the age of the protagonists. Sigh.

@@eliseonavarrete1197 I guess they each have their own feeling / vibe / pacing idk but I really loved them - the Subtle knife... the whole thing, the way it was described, it really stuck with me *and* I thought it would be super difficult for them to give a similar feeling in the tv series, where you don't get the internal thoughts and feelings of the protagonists but I think they managed pretty well, surprisingly. And the whole crazy stories and adventures of the third... man oh man. I don't wanna spoil anything tho and idk how to discreetly say :)) but yeah. That... community :D

@@VampireHeart518 I adored the first book so much! However, for the 2nd and 3rd books I thought that some of the writing, plot decisions and character developments were mildy irritating. I wouldnt say they were terrible, but if I rate the first book at 4.5 or 5 stars, then the 2nd and 3rd books are definitely 3 stars for me 😔 it's impossible to discuss the specifics of what I like and didn't like without spoilers though 😅 thanks for the insight on the tv series! I might have to watch it now

I think that the second and third book were really bad

I wanted to love this and I was loving it but was so confused as to what era this was supposed to be happening in. That part threw me off the whole thing.

yes!!

Same! After a video I'm always like "Well, I guess I'll stop browsing Reddit and open my Kindle app..." lol

@@superkitten7560 Yes, she makes me stop procrastinating

I still remember to this day how I finished the last book as a teen, the emotions I went through for the rest of the day

@@BlackCampariBlue omg I know!!! I think I closed the book and just stared off into space for the next 10 minutes 😭😭 if you’re interested, I highly recommend a reread! They hold up!

Ahh yes I have Poison for Breakfast on hold!! I’d love to pick up the Eye of the World - and thank you lovely!💕

Is that actually his name?? It sounds like a comical character in a book that an author might make up, like the Grinch, or Pooh Bear, or Uriah Heap, not the name of the actual author. Who would name their child Lemony? What a sour name. Or did he just make that name up to sound silly?

@@floogelhornzzz4770 lemony snicket is the pseudonym of daniel handler

definitely a high priority but I don’t think I’ll ever be ready I don’t want that one to end :(

I read the first book and was blown away - can't wait to read the next two books. Gotta wait until after spooky reading season though, I have so many other books to fit into the next couple months.

@@emmiereads I'm still reeling from the loss. I now have an answer to the question: If you could go back and read any series for the first time what would it be?

Not enough readers talk about this series and it BREAKS MY HEART that it isn't at the top of everyone's list. I finished the third book, still crying, and immediately picked up book one to reread. Perfection.

What is ASOIAF?

@@cassidysbookmark5834 a song of ice and fire

I liked the first book, and the last book was the first and only book I've ACTUALLY thrown across the room in disgust. Save yourself lol

I actually liked the divergent series surprisingly lol even though I don't like most of the popular ya books

@@EmiZViolet this!! I really liked the first one even though I‘m not the biggest YA fan. The second was okay and the third one was garbage. But not the good kind of garbage. It was the ‚a lasagna you forgot in your fridge before your 6 month trip to Australia and after you come back you‘re ready to throw the whole fridge away‘ - kind of garbage.

@@kristina_rr Preach. I'm not opposed to the decisions made, but there was less than zero justification in the book for how it went down. UGH.

the first one if the only one worth reading, i really liked the first one though
