Incredible location. Sadly I am not sure how I felt about the film. I really wanted to like it but nothing really stood out as spectacular

Is it cheating, or can you say you read a book when you actually listened to the audiobook?

I was given three choices of book for the next episode. The challenge for @bingewriting.bsky.social - a book where no one dies.
Behind Frenemy Lines by Zen Cho @zenaldehyde.bsky.social
When he told me the title I instantly knew it was this one! Cannot wait to get my teeth into it!

I have discovered why this book was sold by its former owner -Stewart’s Melville College library in Edinburgh
‘Good condition’ my arse. But in all fairness it doesn’t bother me, I quite like it tbh. Gives the book character.
If anyone knows what it says on page 121 lines 19-22 of Xenos thenLMK

Another thing an e-reader can never emulate!
I love buying a second hand book and finding the library tag in the front. In an odd way it makes you feel connected to the many readers of this same copy before you.
So thank you Stewart’s Melville College Library!

Been doing some more research on gender and reading. According to the US National Endowment for Arts
‘54.6 percent of women were estimated to have [read a fiction novel], compared with 35.1 percent of men.’
AND THIS WAS IN 2012! I dread to think what it’s like today!

I may have been living under a rock but I just found out men read far fewer novels than women.
In my group I was the one that didn’t read until recently and I’m glad I picked the habit up again.
Is it just not cool to read or is it other things? The internet can’t seem to give a good answer. 📚💬
