Yeah, hate it when they lie. Not okay. I left Twitter, Facebook and Instagram because they went too far. Do you want to do something about it? If not, that's okay too. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š

Took ages but I watched all of it. Very dark indeed, both visually and spiritually. But very beautiful game nevertheless. Well played!

Yes, I've heard other youtubers say the same. YouTube should take good care of their users. Not okay. ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ™ˆ

Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ That book (The Vampire Lestat) was so slow but so beautifully written. Loved it!

Nรคcken? Yes ๐Ÿ˜Š It's Swedish folklore. A 'man' plays the violin on a rock in the middle of a river. Lures children into the river with music and they drown. The book is a retelling of it but for adults.

I finally finished reading The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice tonight. I rated it four stars. A great book but a very slow read.

And, started to read a book in Swedish, called Nรคcken. ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ’™

Bought a signed copy of Stina Rundqvist's book in Swedish today. And I also bought the book prior to it. So happy that I can read in two languages. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

I completely agree with you. Freida McFadden writes really gripping stories that are impossible to put down. Love her writing ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ

Saw someone reading a Freida McFadden book yesterday on the subway.

Have you read any of her books? What did you think of it/them? ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

I'm at a lovely Muslim wedding in Stockholm, Sweden. Won't show everyone else's stunning dresses and hairdos as it's against custom. ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿฅณ

Sounds like a much better idea to read it alone, I did too ๐Ÿ’• Definitely one of the best books ever written. So I hope you'll read it this year ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

She is enormous so I understand it's daunting and every translation is different too. So if you read it in a book club you need to make sure you all have the same copy, because the chapters aren't the same in different translations. For ex, you could be reading ch. 7 and that's ch. 8 in another book

Get a reading journal that you like and jolt down thoughts as you read. Using sticky notes in the books helps too. Join an online or real life book club. Discussing the books helps a great deal too. I hope this helps!

I read War and Peace in 2025, and it's one of the best books ever written. I hope you get around to reading it ๐Ÿ’• ๐Ÿ“š

Video games are stories too. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐ŸŽฎ And, it sounds like you still enjoy reading short stories, too. That's great! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ

No problem ๐Ÿ’•

This has to have a solution. Have you tried short stories? Graphic novels? Manga? Audio books? ๐Ÿฅน

DNF means Did Not Finish and means in my case that I started on five book but didn't finish reading anyone of them. They simply weren't for me. The Vampire Lestat seems like I'll finish, though. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Have you tried rereading a book you have read previously and loved? ๐Ÿ˜Š โค๏ธ

Wow, what a wonderful story!!! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ’• I've DNF'd five books prior to reading The Vampire Lestat, so I was desperate and heartbroken (regarding my reading). So picking up this book was such a great experience. I'm overjoyed ๐Ÿฅฐ ๐Ÿฅฐ

Received the books one day early. Have started reading The Vampire Lestat and it's so hard to stop reading. But this reader needs sleep ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ด ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ“š

Have DNF'd three books now in a row. Which made me go so coocoo that I bought two books with my credit card. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Maybe I'm forgiven when you learn which books they were?
