@@sreyaar5199 it’s mostly the canvases but you have to remember: the creators are from all over the world and might not be good at English. ❤ If you can at least understand them, I think that’s enough. It does get a bit annoying sometimes 😂😅
My group and I are reading hunger games and we didn't know if the name was Cato with a long or short A sound so we just all agreed it was short A and moved on
I have to have several copies of my favorite books of all time. US, UK, Italian editions I’m fluent ok lol. Different covers that are limited editions, signed limited editions, paperback editions when they come out and last but not least illustrated editions. No regrets 😂
Sometimes I read the end of the book when I'm bored during a really slow part in the middle and tempted to stop reading. Seeing the end motivates me to keep going and see how we get there.
Typos I can tolerate, especially if there is not a lot of good fanfic and it's still understandable. I always just chalk it up to them not being native English speakers, and well, my first fanfics terrify ME, not because of what I wrote, but because there are so many typos I can't really understand what it is I tried to write. What really gets me is formatting. If I see that there never is a space after a dot or a comma, or that the text is one big block (either by having no new lines, or just new line and nothing more to show new paragraph like a tab or second new line), I'm clicking out of it. It genuinely gives me headaches.
Yeah typos I can put up with, blocks of text without knowing where to put paragraphs to help break up the text and when they use second person writing would where I nope out
Ngl, i do reread books. Especially if i find some personal attachment to it. My dad bought me so many books growing up and the ones that we both enjoyed were the Harry Potter and LotR series. After he passed away I didn’t know how to deal with grief...but rereading all of the books we read together comforts me.
I have to read the end first to make sure I’m investing my time properly 😂 I also stop reading in the middle of the page and don’t use a bookmark or look at page numbers if I intend on finishing the book right away. If it’s a book I’ll put away for a few weeks, then I’ll use a bookmark.
I do stop in the middle of the page, for multiple reasons! I do eventually get tired of reading, so I just stop anywhere, bookmark it and rest my brain for a bit! Also sometimes it get's very hard to concentrate, and I end up rereading the same thing over and over again, so I just give up and put the book down 😂 We all enjoy reading in our differents ways ❤
I will always “dog ear”/fold the corners of my pages and mark up the inside. Literally why wouldn’t I?? If I’m going to reread it I want to know what i was thinking and where I paused when I first read it, and I’m not then it doesn’t matter anyways! It’s not like it’s a rare copy or something I can buy a new one. I want to prove I was there somehow, same with all of life I guess
yeah fr! i never tell anyone in the reading community tho bc ppl get weird abt it, but like it’s my book! are you using it? no! i also like to mark pages with quotes that i like, and i don’t want to have to waste sticky notes or buy a bunch of bookmarks!
I’ve somehow lost every book mark I’ve ever used. They always go missing! Also since the books I’ve been reading are pretty long if I don’t somehow mark them I won’t be able to find the page!
I hate book marks cuz I bring my books places where the bookmark can shift or fall out! It’s 100x easier to just dog ear it and pick right back up, AND I agree it is pretty fun to see where you’ve left off before❤
For me, I can either read for a long time or end up stopping fairly quick. But if I keep reading when I know my brain isn't paying attention any more, then I won't remember any of it. Also if any has tips for how to go back to reading longer I need to know, I used to be able to read for hours, only stopping when I had to, from what I can remember. It's so frustrating because I miss just being absorbed in a book =(
If I’m a little bored of a book, or like dying because of suspense, I’ll read the last sentence of the book as if it will actually give me any clues. Sometimes it helps me stop worrying about a character I think will die! And I also once owned three copies of a book because I bought one, lost it, bought a replacement, found the first one, and was then gifted another by a relative. 😂
I stop reading in the middle of pages. Because if I keep going to the end of the chapter it will end at a point that will make me want to read more. I do the same thing with TV shows. I stop at a low stakes moment. Bc if I don't I will be up literally all night going "OK just one more I'll go to bed after this one" I also dog ear my pages because I'm not a snob and a dogearred book is a sign of a well loved and many times read book. I've been a reader my entire life (I have a plaque in my elematary school library for getting the most accelerated reader points) and I've always dog eared my books so I'm not about to change now.
Reason why I have three copies of some of my books: first one is the easiest to access on my shelf because my brother likes to "borrow" my books and I have learned from tough experience that he will absolutely DESTROY the book. second one is for me. third one is the one that I lend to my friends so they don't all have to buy copies as well :)
How do people listen to the same songs over again? Or the same show? Or movie? How do people keep waking up and living the same day over and over again? Or eat the same food more than once? Crazy right?? 😐
I read the last paragraph of a book that I'm unsure about. It usually doesn't give anything away, I just like giving authors that struggle with hooking you in the beginning a fighting chance. Beginnings can be hard, but endings are what you remember most
3-4 fingers down. I love dog eared books & books with signs of wear & tear. I sometimes look up the pronounciation of names, places, etc. If I'm in the mood, I can read any fanfic so long as it's grammatically correct enough to be readable (including fics that are translated using google). I used to read the last page of the book before reading the rest but I grew out of that. I also own more than one copy of certain Sherlock Holmes stories & at least 3-4 copies of Jekyll & Hyde.
1. I sometimes look up names, but sometimes I just like my pronunciation better. 2. I'm really careful about rereading books because sometimes it takes the magic away from me and I realize it's not as good as I thought it was. 3. I've been reading wattpad and unedited webtoons for forever, typos don't even draw my attention.
I don't read the ending first but sometimes it would have really saved me unnecessary frustration and head aches. It started so good and ended with me being traumatized. One book ended with fl death and the other book changed totally towards the end and made you realise that the sweet male lead turns out to be one of the most disgusting human beings with no empathy. So I kinda admire people who can enjoy books even with spoilers.
I had one finger down. it was the look up pronunciation one. i always google questions while i’m reading about setting or names. the only downside is that i got a MAJOR spoiler for As Good As Dead.
Four and a half. I can usually read typo-filled wattpad stories without too much pain, especially if I'm desperate, but there's places I will not dare go and lines I will not dare cross. To be more specific, I avoid oneshots as much as possible. The one and done concept is unfathomable as someone who grew up reading long deliberatly planned series like Warriors, Junie B, Wimpy Kid, and more recently WoF, the Giver series(unpopular opinion: the giver read better as a stand-alone), and Hunger Games.
@@kerrymartin7557 it's short for fan-fiction It's when the story is in the world that doesn't belong to the writer of the story. For example; a story that takes characters from Mario Bros. to write a story without being a nintendo employee. Hope it helps :)
I like this concept more than the normal ones, because the weird stuff a person does says more about them than listing off typical traits. 😂 I only had two fingers down, too.
3 fingers down: 1. I sometimes stop reading in the middle of a page 2. Never reread a book (I’m a new reader tho) 3. I can read a fanfiction with tons of typos
i also got 2 down! instead of multiple copies though it was... the finger licking BUT only sometimes! some books (usually old/worn ones) need that extra help to turn a page
I only have dog-ear pages. I do re-read books, but kind of rarely, cause I have a really good memory. Once, I got a book, read it once, lost it, and SIX YEARS later I could still remember… a decent amount of it, I would say.
😂 I had 8 fingers down. And of course I have 3 or more copies of my favourite books one to read, one to highlight, one to add my own notes too and many more to gift to friends
I have three copies of The Titans curse. Paper back of the current cover, hardcover of the current cover, and paper back of the original cover. (You HAVE to look for the Pjo books at thrift stores I’ve gotten multiple copies of the original covers there)
I have for some reason 3 or 4 copies of charlottes web that i refuse to get rid of and i don’t plan to. I have no idea where any of them came from, but they confirm the fact i am i book hoarder.
Adhd & dyslexia so i dont notice the typos and get distracted easily or lose reading brain Also helps that i had some ships it was hard to find growing up so i had to use google translate on other language fics to have anything 😅
One thing that makes me laugh is when ur at school and ur reading and someone calls u a bookworm. I be like “Thanks!” Cause they think that it’s an insult it’s actually a compliment 😂
If i know the book doesnt have a happy ending, i sometimes read the end first because i seeing characters suffer AND THEN learn how they got into that mess. Like "they both die" or whatever that book was called, i read the end first because i wanted to know how they died and relate it to choices in the story going into it.
3 fingers here. About the fanfiction, I just.. I reread the line with a mentally-grammar-corrected version. It’s hard to explain. Like instead of “This is what do.” He explain. It’d be rereading it again with “This is what I do,” he explained.
im a serial dog-earer and not ashamed. i can also easily handle typos as long as its generally written well (might also be because i ahve long history in fanfic and still prepfer it over "actual" books)
I have 3 books for a special reason. The first one is for me and me only. The second one is for friends or whoever wants to borrow it. The third is for show :)
Okay, I can explain the three copies of one book thing: Copy one: just an average, maybe slightly nicer version of the book. This is the one I will take on filed trips, or holidays. This is also the one I will let you borrow if you see I have the book and wanna read it. Copy two: this is the folio society version. It’s very nice, and well made, and this is the one I will NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET YOU BORROW! Copy three: this one js interactive/ has pictures. This is the one I’ll read to my little brother or other kids. It has bright, bold colours and is very nicely illustrated. You can borrow this copy, but I am watching you like a hawk! So that’s why I have three copies of lots of books 😅😊
My friend BREAKS the spine of a book on PURPOSE. She says she can’t read it otherwise and it’s satisfying. My other friend and I are like NOOO not the book 😭
Just one. I have reread books. But rarely and those were usually classics or ones I read a long time ago and were really good. I almost put another finger up for the fanfiction. But I just can't imagine doing that
I got 3.5 fingers down, 1 because I do indeed dog eat pages as it is much more simpler than looking for and loosing bookmarks. 1 cuz I do stop in the middle of a page whenever I’m tired or feel done with the story. I feel as if I’ve read it and need something new to do, I eventually sit down and finish another few chapters before repeating. 1 because I do need to look up the character name pronunciation. For example, Hermione really confused me the first time it read HP. 0.5 down because I only SOMETIMES read the end first, just after the prologue, to see if the story is worth reading.
the last two.... those are me. yeah. ao3 is life, I don't like re-reading when it's still fresh on my mind, but I can re-read them wayyyy later; mostly not planning but they just happen. now Fanfiction is different! I tell you that . . .
I‘ve got two fingers halfway down. One for stopping in the middle of the page, the only way I do this is when the chapters are extremely long and I‘m not awake enough to get to the end of the chapter, and there is actually an obvious break in the story - like a time skip, focus on a new place or character or something like that. The other finger is for the fanfictions, I hate ffs that have a lot misspelling, however a couple of years with extremely boring math classes have taught me to endure it (for some time I actually had a hardcover book on my desk that I would randomly grab it and read, but this teacher has known me for years and knew that I did all the assignments and still participated a lot - I later switched to Wattpad because I got a new teacher and didn’t want to look like I didn’t care about class this obviously xD)
I can stop reading in the middle of the page but only if it’s a paragraph break. Not just a transition to a new paragraph but when the author puts their fancy little paragraph separating symbol. That’s the only circumstance that can cause me to stop reading in the middle of a page.
when you grow up with wattpad, you learn to ignore the typos like a master
fr tho
Fr😂
And badly translated mangas too! Webtoon asks for money and I will not 👀👀
@@sreyaar5199 it’s mostly the canvases but you have to remember: the creators are from all over the world and might not be good at English. ❤ If you can at least understand them, I think that’s enough. It does get a bit annoying sometimes 😂😅
Yeah i have 6 fingers down
The going "blbalabla" in your head thing made me feel so seen lmao i didn't know that was a common thing 😂
SAME
The first time I read Harry Potter I pronounced seamus’s name literally as see-mus
My group and I are reading hunger games and we didn't know if the name was Cato with a long or short A sound so we just all agreed it was short A and moved on
Tolstoy books are a nightmare because I end up doing it for every single character!
Fr like I was reading a ballad of songbirds and snakes and when I read coriolanus's name I just go "corilus"
I have to have several copies of my favorite books of all time. US, UK, Italian editions I’m fluent ok lol. Different covers that are limited editions, signed limited editions, paperback editions when they come out and last but not least illustrated editions. No regrets 😂
someone who gets it 😅💜
Which book? I need to know haha(for research purposes ofc)
I have many because my mum is an author so I have a lot of her books
@@acaciastarrwhat books had she published?
@@Mary-Anne0 she only has one but its called ’know me by my name’ by Kirsty Webb
Sometimes I read the end of the book when I'm bored during a really slow part in the middle and tempted to stop reading. Seeing the end motivates me to keep going and see how we get there.
Same. Every time I open a book I instantly skip to the ending. It doesn't ruin my experience at all and it's something I enjoy.
@ettaetta439 Yeah, but in the books that I read, it's just some characters walking away from their house or something 😭
@@eviedart4585 In the books that I read, which are fantasy, it's usually some cliffhanger or smth.
this is true
Same, but it's very risky when you're reading a predictable book. It makes the book even more boring

A story with no line breaks is an immediate no thank you
Well maybe you should switch to AO3, there's lot's of good stuff without typos there... I mostly had that problem with Wattpad

The HARRY POTTER AND LotR series are the best series ever created

We are the exact same 😭
YEA YES AND YES
I look at the page but still dog ear my page just in case I forget lol
Exactly the same as me lol
Sometimes when I’m bored in the middle of the book I read the end 😂
You need more copies so that you can force your friends to read them but you still have one to reread for yourself
Lmfaoo yes!! Finally someone who gets it 😭🩷
Yes.
YES!!!

I have 1 but the only thing I put my finger down for was the “Never re-reading a book and never planning on it”😂

girlie why are you so pretty!!! i love your shelf
I only put down the fanfic finger. It just gets corrected automatically inside my head.
For me, I can either read for a long time or end up stopping fairly quick. But if I keep reading when I know my brain isn't paying attention any more, then I won't remember any of it.

Procrastinate on whatever you're supposed to be doing by reading. I got out of cleaning when my grandma was coming over by doing that.
Maybe try reading books with shorter chapters if you can't concentrate for too long
I love how she’s actually honest lol

@@kerrymartin7557 it's short for fan-fiction
It's when the story is in the world that doesn't belong to the writer of the story.

Hope it helps :)
When you read so much fanfiction, you start to understand.
I have a couple of go-to books when I can't find anything else to read. I'm actually in the middle of reading one currently; 3rd time through.
I used to have three copies of the first HP book (original, illustrated, Ravenclaw edition) but donated them when I moved
I’m ascending I PUT MY WHOLE HAND DOWN
I like this concept more than the normal ones, because the weird stuff a person does says more about them than listing off typical traits. 😂 I only had two fingers down, too.
I only put 2 fingers down but GIRL YOUR BOOK COLLECTION IS AMAZING
3 fingers down:
1. I sometimes stop reading in the middle of a page
2. Never reread a book (I’m a new reader tho)
3. I can read a fanfiction with tons of typos
Ten down 😂❤ love your videos
.......... ten?
1. I'm having nightmares about that for a month
2. Get out
I get favourite books in hard copy (paperback or hardback), ebook and audiobook. 😅 Sometimes ill just restrict myself to two formats though
i also got 2 down! instead of multiple copies though it was... the finger licking BUT only sometimes! some books (usually old/worn ones) need that extra help to turn a page
sometimes i just suddenly get bored and stop in the middle of a page, then i have to take forever trying to find my spot again later XD
I only have dog-ear pages. I do re-read books, but kind of rarely, cause I have a really good memory. Once, I got a book, read it once, lost it, and SIX YEARS later I could still remember… a decent amount of it, I would say.

3 fingers. More than 3 copies of the same book. Pronunciation. Fanfictions. Ao3 and wattpad has helped me with that one.
Those leather covers of Edgar Allan Poe is the reason I have like 7 copies of those books w all his work in them
I put 4 down…
The worst thing abt it is that I have adhd do I just zone out
Adhd & dyslexia so i dont notice the typos and get distracted easily or lose reading brain
Also helps that i had some ships it was hard to find growing up so i had to use google translate on other language fics to have anything 😅
I put two down but was very on the fence about two others 😂
One thing that makes me laugh is when ur at school and ur reading and someone calls u a bookworm. I be like “Thanks!” Cause they think that it’s an insult it’s actually a compliment 😂
Typos , blanks, and anything inbetween is simple to fill in by urself once u read enough fanfic, mlts , and j wattpad in general

Like "they both die" or whatever that book was called, i read the end first because i wanted to know how they died and relate it to choices in the story going into it.
You proudly display everything everything on your shelf, that scares me enough
I dog ear pages sometimes because I only own like 3 bookmarks and they’re always either lost or in another book already.
I sometimes stop in the middle of the book cause I’m done reading cause the characters make me so agressive
… I dog-ear my books. Unless they come with a ribbon book mark, but… I have committed this crime. 😔
i was on wattpad in 2013, no typos faze me anymore
I can read fanfics with the most spelling mistakes bc I helped with kindergartners for a few months 😭
3 fingers here.

“This is what do.” He explain.
It’d be rereading it again with “This is what I do,” he explained.
2 and a half
sometimes I search up the pronounciation but since I read Percy Jackson with al the greek names I sometimes don't

I dog-ear my books too 🥲
the last one got me lol
I have 3 books for a special reason.

Copy one: just an average, maybe slightly nicer version of the book. This is the one I will take on filed trips, or holidays. This is also the one I will let you borrow if you see I have the book and wanna read it.
Copy two: this is the folio society version. It’s very nice, and well made, and this is the one I will NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES LET YOU BORROW!

I almost put a finger down on the not having reread a book, but then it said “or never plan to” and that was why I didn’t. 0 fingers! ❤
When you have three sets of parents multiple copies of all the favs is essential
My friend BREAKS the spine of a book on PURPOSE. She says she can’t read it otherwise and it’s satisfying. My other friend and I are like NOOO not the book 😭
Me with 6 fingers down :)
Just one. I have reread books. But rarely and those were usually classics or ones I read a long time ago and were really good. I almost put another finger up for the fanfiction. But I just can't imagine doing that
I’ve never re read but I do plan too lol
Typos are fine😂, it still makes sense to me
I got 3.5 fingers down,
1 because I do indeed dog eat pages as it is much more simpler than looking for and loosing bookmarks.
1 cuz I do stop in the middle of a page whenever I’m tired or feel done with the story. I feel as if I’ve read it and need something new to do, I eventually sit down and finish another few chapters before repeating.
1 because I do need to look up the character name pronunciation. For example, Hermione really confused me the first time it read HP.
0.5 down because I only SOMETIMES read the end first, just after the prologue, to see if the story is worth reading.
the last two.... those are me. yeah.
ao3 is life, I don't like re-reading when it's still fresh on my mind, but I can re-read them wayyyy later; mostly not planning but they just happen.
now Fanfiction is different! I tell you that . . .
When I wanna stop reading I have to finish the chapter in order to stop xD
I‘ve got two fingers halfway down. One for stopping in the middle of the page, the only way I do this is when the chapters are extremely long and I‘m not awake enough to get to the end of the chapter, and there is actually an obvious break in the story - like a time skip, focus on a new place or character or something like that. The other finger is for the fanfictions, I hate ffs that have a lot misspelling, however a couple of years with extremely boring math classes have taught me to endure it (for some time I actually had a hardcover book on my desk that I would randomly grab it and read, but this teacher has known me for years and knew that I did all the assignments and still participated a lot - I later switched to Wattpad because I got a new teacher and didn’t want to look like I didn’t care about class this obviously xD)
The fanfic one made me laugh.
I can stop reading in the middle of the page but only if it’s a paragraph break. Not just a transition to a new paragraph but when the author puts their fancy little paragraph separating symbol. That’s the only circumstance that can cause me to stop reading in the middle of a page.
