"Now, watching Sweetie slowly rediscover that she was worth being loved, it was very uplifting. Her writing is. The author's writing is very simple, but it is very evocative, like nothing pretentious but relatable emotions. And I really loved how she portrayed friendship in it. How the protagonist, friends, they stand by her and they allow her to be herself. And the support, their support was...

"I didn't really understand this question. I mean, which book cover is so good that so bad that it's almost good? I mean, what is our definition of good and bad, first of all? And secondly, I mean, I don't really understand what constitutes good and bad for a book cover. So I'm not sure what to answer, but. So it's a very kind of warped question. I'm not really sure, but yeah, I'm not s...

"If I wander into a book section in a bookstore and the clocks are not really having any impact or there are no clocks rather I would definitely wander into the section of setting and place. So essentially books based in different, different parts of the world. So there is actually a bookshop like this in London."

"I would say the first two areas that come to mind are like the poetry section and the photo like photography section. Poetry I think is just kind of like it's once you start reading it, especially if you find a poet or an author that you really like, I feel like you can just read one after the next after the next and kind of just sit with it and like dissect it a lot without like com...

"As biggest example will be Pride and Prejudice, which is not necessarily a comedy, but actually a romance novel which has also been used to satirize the society, which was at that time. So why not crime and thriller novels? So I absolutely love the fact that the author incorporated satire within because like, I, I miss satire so much. Like when we talk about classical novels, all of them h...

"Hello guys. My name is Neha Walia and I recently finished reading Love Misconstrued by Pratima Raj and I have a lot to say about it. It's not just another romantic novel. It has love, lust, romance, adjustments, understandings, conflict and whatnot. It discloses various misconceptions about love where there is a debate between the Gen Z, the millennials and the OGs."

"Because in that space, there is no time. And in that no time, I can really get some stuff done. I can find out who did it. And we all want to know who did it, right?"

"And the other side of this answer is definitely the fantasy section. I read a lot of fantasy and I often find that looking through bookstores helps me find new authors and new titles because a lot of the books I gravitate towards are things that I've seen on social media. So I like to be exposed to new titles in the fantasy section that I may not have otherwise considered because they might n...

"The story kind of moves along slow, but not in a boring way because it reflects real life. You'll feel the years are passing by. You'll feel the weight of every small victory and every invisible heartbreak. Then there's a rejection letter. There's a fight with the family. There's a silence after a dream that slips out. And the best part is the book doesn't glorify the struggle."

"This type of cutscenes we see in this book, which I honestly found so interesting, because I have not seen that in this, you know, in a book for an extremely long time. And although we do see cutscenes, but the cutscenes are usually, you can say, limited to maybe some. Some world building where the narrator might say that this. This was happening, what was outside, or that, you know, chapt...

"Anything that is comfortable is fine, but I also like a lot of silence while reading and it makes me irritated when somebody like on the downstairs shouts or if children are present. So this is my reading ritual and I like reading close to 6070 pages at a go. I am a voracious reader. Thank you."

"That's why we find so less well rounded characters nowadays in our books and in our novels because of how much effort they take to create. So I cannot even fathom how long this novel took to create. Okay, next, moving on to the language, the language of this novel, I, I am very happy to say that it's very simple. Okay, that is one."

"Hi, my name is Victory. The book I'm currently reading is Shoot Dog by Phil Knight. The book talks about how few Knight started his Nike company. But I haven't got to the passage where he talked about how he started Nike. So when I get there, I'll let you guys know. See ya."

"It opened my mind. It opened things that like I had no idea it was there before and I started making the right choices to things. Like after a while, I got back on my feet and made some money for stacking up. At that time, before I bought the book, I really had no vision. That was my issue. Because I wish I had a vision. I don't believe I would have wasted money."

"And most of us out here, what we know to be assets, what you know to be an asset and a liability are it true. So it talks about it and gives you an idea of how to make the right investments. Don't mind my English. I'm trying to get my English intact because my English is kind of shaky, man. So I'm working on it."

"I think that helps me just kind of want to relax and take in the moment and do something unrelated to my screens or my work and just enjoy being outside in the space that I'm in. And I think those would have to be the rituals that I swear by."

"I am an avid reader, so the coziest reading ritual is I have a specific setup for my reading, a specific space for my reading, so I have to be in that arrangement to read the book. But yes, even if I'm traveling, I'm so much addicted to books. It's not that I have to get this kind of a setting to read it. Even when I'm traveling, I can sit by the window and just spend hours with a book....

"Hi, my name is Chandra Thomas and I have a podcast called Adventures on the Dish where we talk about food, fun and adventure. So the last book I read is the Proximity Principle by Ken Coleman. He's one one of Dave Ramsey's personalities. And what is and what this book entails is what do you want to do Is life is more than just work. You got to find your passion and your purpose and that ...

"The ritual of reading book then you get used to of reading. And when you get used to of reading then you feel like this is the only world which you have to live in. So having a ritual like mine that laying on the bed alone with lights open and books is in front of me feels like dreaming and empowering me. Just for me books becomes like a mother, like friend, a spouse."
