I get an hour lunch everyday so I read during that.
I also read the last hour or so before going to sleep as a way to wind down.
If I don’t have any weekend plans (which is common in the winter because I hate the cold) I will stay in and read all day sometimes.
Everyone should use whatever tracking system they want if any at all, but just fyi for anyone reading this you can switch editions on Goodreads.
So yes, you can absolutely record you read the Kindle edition or that you listened to the audiobook.
Goodreads also has genre tags. So these aren’t unique things to Storygraph, but by all means use Storygraph if you like it better.
For recommendations, I really have found it better to find someone who likes the same books you like and follow them rather than using any computerized system for recommendations.
I misread that as GIF pronounced as peanut butter and I was like who thought GIF was pronounced peanut butter.
A lot of things recorded in biographies are what are deemed as significant events and not usually the type of thing you would forget.
For example, when you were born, your family members, your upbringing, the birth of your children etc. are all things you are likely to easily remember.
Biographies often also include core memories. So while these events may not be significant to everyone these events were significant moments in this person’s life for whatever reason.
Personal struggles, something biographies also cover usually, are also often not forgotten. If you’ve ever struggled with addiction or lived in poverty, those are just not the types of things you or the people around you would forget.
I do think some minor details may be wrong just because people are likely to misremember minor details, but biographers usually account for that by doing a lot of research and stating when they cannot verify something or there are conflicting accounts.
I still don’t know quite how I feel about it.
I think the writing is good and it was certainly horrifying, but I felt like something was missing.
Maybe because I never felt a real connection to the characters?
I did this with anime once.
My friend had been trying to get me to watch Demon Slayer and I ended up watching Goblin Slayer.
If you have to qualify anything with “it’s great if you just ignore…” it’s not great. Whether it’s a person, a book, a relationship, etc.
