I appreciate your point on how annotating helps to keep up the reading momentum of moving through a big classic book. I plan to read Persuasion at the beginning of 2025.
good luck! annotations really help keep me on track. if you've never read Jane Austen before I would say give it at least 100 pages and then make judgements. for me the first 100 were a little slow, and hard to get used to, but then I found myself super in love with the story after that point. also the new adaptation on Netflix with Dakota Johnson is wonderful, and I also listened along to the audiobook sometimes while reading it. that helped a loooooot. I listened to the one on Spotify narrated by Cynthia Erivo (which I didn't even know it was her till I just looked it up rn!!! I love her and she was fantastic in it) it's available on there for free! happy reading and please let me know what you think of it!
Ok so don’t let this deter you from reading The Way of Kings, but the series technically isn’t over. The first arc is done, but there will be another five book arc starting in like 2031. Definitely still highly recommend it, but you won’t exactly get the closure of finishing a series 😅
girl I- im in shock LOL. Sanderson loves doing his different eras! I actually had no idea about that so that's so good to know, thank you. I won't let it deter me though. I feel like his books are such a fantasy reader right of passage. my audiobook hold for the way of kings came in last week and its 45 hours! so I pushed the hold to be delivered in February because im not quite ready yet... but it will happen this year
Love this! I’m setting a goal to read more books by poc authors this year, I’m thinking one book by a poc author for every book I read by a white author at least. I recently read A Place For Us by Fatima farheen Mirza and it’s one of my favorites right now and one of 2 times I cried while reading a book lol
ohhh that's a good one and its also been on my mind since the majority of my books/reading are from white authors. im adding that to my list! and that book. what's the other book that made you cry?? for me its just been daisy jones and the idea of you
