@bookmarkandburn·13hSome people need therapy. Some need a fresh start. And some fictional characters apparently need to stop running away from their problems. 😂
What's a book you've read where the main character kept avoiding reality? Did you sympathise with them or just want to shake them?

@bookmarkandburn·1dA serious question for fiction readers:
Would you rather read a beautifully written novel with an ordinary plot, or an absolutely addictive story with writing that isn't particularly remarkable?
You can only choose ONE. No cheating. 😂

@bookmarkandburn·1dUnpopular opinion: a book doesn't need spicy scenes to be addictive.
Give me beautiful writing, complicated characters, emotional depth and a story I can't stop thinking about.
What's one underrated, no-spice book everyone should read?

@bookmarkandburn·Apr 13I used to read 50+ books a year and remember almost nothing.
Then I changed my approach. Instead of speed-reading through everything on the bestseller list, I started being ruthless about what deserved my time.
Here are 5 books that completely rewired how I pick what to read — and actually retain it:
1. "A Little Life" by Hanya Yanagihara — Taught me that a book doesn't need to be "enjoyable" to be the most important thing you've ever read. Sometimes the ones that wreck you are the ones that stick.
2. "Attached" by Amir Levine — The self-help book that made me realize most self-help is recycled fluff. This one actually has research behind it and changed how I think about every relationship in my life.
3. "Beach Read" by Emily Henry — Proved that romance isn't a guilty pleasure. It's just pleasure. The literary snobbery around genre fiction is the real embarrassment.
4. "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro — A masterclass in what's NOT said. After this, I stopped trusting narrators and started reading between the lines of everything.
5. "Atomic Habits" by James Clear — Not because it's groundbreaking (it's not), but because it's the only self-help book I've actually applied. Simple beats clever every time.
The common thread? Each one made me a more intentional reader. I stopped consuming books and started choosing them.
That's what we do at Bookmark & Burn — we bookmark the best and burn the rest. No fluff, no fake 5-star reviews, just honest takes from people who actually read.
