Reply to comment by Hoodieninj in Verity by Colleen Hoover was awful. 2 star rating by hasimple

oh no worries at all i know text isn’t the best way of showing what was actually meant to say! i totally respect you stating what you feel is good about the book

i didn’t really go in depth of what you said my bad

the random death did grab my attention but it also left me thinking they could’ve meet another way that wasn’t so gruesome

the indication of him falling in love with her was when they where in bed and i think they where doing it for the first time i can’t remember and he said he fell in love with her at the coffee shop or something like that i could misinterpreted wrong but when he said that i was just thinking “you fell in love with her after seeing that???? “

the sleepwalking just seemed very unnecessary to me but i would’ve thought she was crazy anyway

i get the tension building of her reading the book slow but man it was very annoying

it really wasn’t a fun read for me more of a wow i can’t believe i read this. and i still can’t get over the fact someone cried over it but hey everyone has different reactions

Reply to comment by Immediate_Area9178 in What urban legends do you find most interesting in literature and books? by VengefulMight

The period before WW1 is remembered as an Age of Innocence but it had its own macabre stuff.

Many of the books bound in human skin, are from the late 19th century and were poor people whom the doctors felt entitled to use their skin to remember them by.

General Kitchener the head of the British Army, kept a human skull he had taken from a dead chieftain and used it to store pencils in.

Reply to comment by ReturnOfSeq in Asimov's Foundation Is Bad Literature by Kryptin

Post was boring and redundant, nominal vocabulary or word variety, completely uninspired. Plus he used “DNF” unironically, in a subreddit about Books and to critique a famous writer’s literary merit and prose... I’m afraid OP might be a bad writer too.

Well, Vin Lord Ruler in my case. Kelsier vs Lord Ruler hit like a truck though

I started the last chapter but then I had planned to go out that night and I had to put it down but... I couldn't enjoy myself out knowing that there were people in the book that needed me to know how it was resolved.

Storm light archive books are far more of a slow grind compared to Mistborn ones

Reply to comment by Super_Forever_5850 in Does anyone know a used book seller with resonable shipping options to Europe? by Super_Forever_5850

Not really shipping is charged by weight, and books are heavy. At a certain point, it might be considered bulk, and the shipper might offer a discount to the book store, but I doubt you'll see the difference as the buyer pays for shipping before it's purchased. The bookstore I work for doesn't ship outside of the US-Canada because of this.
