Ingesting art whichever way possible.

I feel that whenever I watch it I begin dissociating.
Like damn this was everything we talked about Wednesday mornings at school, huh.

And there's other factors. An ebook and a hardcopy give you the same story, but a hardcopy is a physical object. It sits on a shelf where readers browse through and see it. People see you reading it, they might ask about, or make a mental note. You can lend it. It's basically advertising.

What most people mean when they ask this question is: What nets authors the most royalties? It varies with our contracts, but in general it's audiobooks, by a huge margin. Ebooks after that. Physical copies give us the least, again by a huge margin. But that's still complicated-

Good call! I think One Last Stop is by far their best book so anything else would feel like a downgrade.

Absolutely, and it's not as if you're changing the source material in any way either, which I would understand being against if that was ever an issue. It is a win-win all around.
For instance I find menial tasks are much more bearable if I can listen to an audiobook while doing them.

None of those things make digital or audiobook owners less legitimate than your favorite book content creator you wish to be like.
We don't hate books. As a matter of fact, you could say we love them so much we'll take them any way we can. #booksky

Could be as simple as not having enough room or money for it.
People live with disabilities or chronic illnesses that make it unable to hold books for long. Maybe the small print is too hard to see. Some can be allergic to dust or ink, many don't know how to read, or aren't as efficient at it.

By placing aesthetics as the main goal we have entered once more the world of unrealistic beauty standards and fast fashion mentality we so often try to escape from by reading in the first place.
More physical book purists would benefit from remembering life is different for everyone. #booksky

Instead of seeing this as a positive, they choose to belittle those who need said alternatives when at the end of the day we all get what we want out of it.

While far from new (I recall this since the release of first gen e-readers) it has only gotten worse with viral book culture. #booksky

You've convinced me, I'll reread some in between heavier books.
I guess being an adult has it perks like finally not being scared of picking certain outcomes in Choose Your Own Adventure books.

I'm so jealous, I wish I still had The Babysitter series! I remember reading those over and over again in elementary school but they must have gotten donated at some point.
I'm afraid of rereading these books and them not living up to the nostalgia, do you reread them?

That being said I will absolutely continue to rate the books I read in my #thestorygraph reviews. I like keeping a record of how I felt about stories right after finishing them and whether they change with time but want this list to be more straightforward.

For instance in the past I've read plenty of books that I thought were beautifully written and yet disliked them nonetheless simply because something about them wasn't a right fit for me.
I don't believe that should detract from the fact that those are many people's favorite books. #booksky
