consuming/completing a book I think audiobooks count as reading, but in terms of reading as meaning literacy I agree with you.

True. But I wonder if when people, in these conversations talking about if listening to audiobooks count as reading, are thinking about literacy or if they are thinking in terms of consumption/completion (if that makes sense). I think I was replying more in terms of the latter. In the sense of (1/2)

But what if you can't read visually? Then maybe you can't diversify mediums. And wouldn't that also mean people who only read visually are sacrificing something as well.

"how dare they" mom's are the best

SECONDED!!!!

I love a poem with couplets that have wild second lines. Give me "Everyday he ate the same breakfast: / fourteen love letters folded into paper airplanes" alllllll day. Business in the front, fantasy in the back. Little poetry mullets. Tiny tugboats dragging leviathans into the harbor.

To all my lovely romance authors. There has to also be a plot. THERE HAS TO ALSO BE A PLOT. Think about it this way. If you were reading a book and the author had the character make lunch, but the character made lunch every 5-10 pages. It would be repetitive, boring, and annoying right? RIGHT??????

The twilight movie series would've been (more) perfect if they didn't give Kristen Stewart that horrible wig in Eclipse and if they just used a real baby in Breaking Dawn. It breaks my heart whenever I think about it. We could have had it all.

Megan you are the best there ever was ❤️

I was writing every day in November... I was 🥲

Hello all! Just joining. I'm a writer and am editing my short story collection and currently drafting an epistolary novel. Excited to interact with you all here.

Saving Mac by Antoinette van Heugten; The Midwives by Chris Bohjalian is technically fiction but it was thrilling to me.
