Reply to comment by DontOverDueIt12 in Is it ethical to pirate books I already own if I just want an E version? by whydoesyourbedsmell
Yeah this is what I do. I have so many books and I just can’t get through them like I used to now that I have a kid, so I use ebooks and/or audiobooks to help get through them. I have three library cards now and the selections are great!

Yep. I really didn’t like it and do not get the hype at all. 🤷♀️

Reply to What are your Saddest DNFs? Books you think are super interesting in concept, but you just... Can't? by tiny_purple_Alfador
This happens to me every now and then and usually it’s just not the right time for me for that book or author.
However, I’ve tried three different Georgette Heyer’s now and quit and think I won’t bother again (just quit the third today. Even tried one of the mysteries to see if that helped since that’s more my thing…). On paper she ticks so many of my boxes that she should work, but over and over… nope. I don’t know if I’m sad about it exactly though - there’s so much else out there.

No, goodreads refuses to change. I’ve just been on it so long though that it’s still my default.
ETA: LibraryThing is my go to for straight cataloguing though. It’s great.

Reply to comment by thirdculture_hog in Childhood body mass index is unlikely to have a big impact on children's mood or behavioural disorders by giuliomagnifico
BMI only took into account white men and wasn’t intended to be used widely/for everyone. It’s…trash.

I’m getting there! But I have decades of books and only get through about 50 a year these days.

Goodreads and/or LibraryThing. Or just all my bookshelves in my house. 😂

Reply to Flowers in the attic by Curve-Master
These reviews are fantastic, lol. Only reason I know anything about these books. They sound batshit.
