fictitious was “fictuous” and my dad decided it was hilarious to back up me (age 12, incorrect) and drive my brother (19, correct) mildly insane.

My older brother tracked down our dictionary and looked it up and I was stunned I was wrong. And stubborn to accept it lol

OMG MAGGIE GATES YES these books are some of my favs and mm the cuddling and hugs in these? The sweetest and gentlest

That being said, the general attitude can sometimes be the more you’ve read, the better you are. And that can def turn away non readers. And that’s not great!

I think you’re right. A lot of people use it that way! I have friends who feel ashamed they haven’t read as much as me this year, if at all. I try & ask how many movies/tv shows they’ve watched. I struggle to watch shows/movies, but I read easily. Some people are the other way. Both are okay!!

I wouldn’t say it matters at all. I keep track of books I’ve read for fun. Some of them have been audiobooks of children’s novels (4 total), and some have been 400+ page novels, while others have been 100 page novellas. It’s for fun, just like my reading choices are for fun. Does that answer your q?

I’m excited for the results!!
