nah they were just other kids, they thought something actually happened to me from my big reaction but it was the book. also they thought it was cool that I finished it. overall looking back I think it was funny, I didn't have such big reactions to books again often when I was older :)

The first time I read a book about death is when I was in the first grade and I read a little book about the protagonist's mum dying of cancer. it was the first time the teachers put a pile of children's novels on a table and told us to pick one. I picked the smallest hoping to read it in an hour which I did. by the end I was crying and sobbing trying to read the last words. I pictured the daughter climbing on the dying mum's bed as my mum's actual bed. all the other kids surrounded me all worried asking me what happened and why I was sobbing. I said I finished the book (don't know what it was) and the mum died. They realised it was the book and they all started laughing saying I read the book in an hour how is that possible you should be happy XD so I was sobbing and they were laughing that I finished the book because we'd been given a year to read one

Reply to People who are forced to read a lot (e.g. students), how do you find the time/energy to also read for pleasure? by FrostyGenie

First of all by having already read a lot of the books, and secondly by sometimes Wikipediaing some of them. it gets to the point where they assign you so many books it's ridiculous. I love reading but I suck at reading on command. if I end up really needing to have read it I can always read it last minute

I generally love children's books so that's fine! it might be terapeutic for all the timed I accidentally watched the movie. when she >!dies because the rope breaks it was all because he wasn't there or something!<... it's so sad... crying XD

the movie scarred me as a child so I never read it. it's so sad and it was always on children's tv, thinking about it still makes me want to cry. maybe I'm old enough to read it now XD

Reply to Why can I never read properly? by SomeoneOnTheMun

anxiety and inability to focus can do that. it happens to me more when studying but if the anxiety is bad it can happen with novels as well. usually the same reason you don't feel like watching a movie

Reply to Why I stopped using Goodreads by [deleted]

I got it because it was easier than writing down all the books in a notebook but whenever friends want to do those competitions or how many books etc I always say no like why would you do that, it would just take the joy out if reading. especially when I love rereading but obviously that doesn't count in the number of books. I'm not very happy about how you said it's owned by amazon, I hope they can't look at it and send me ads or something
