Four panel comic meme with two people in an office, one pitching something to the others from whiteboard. Guy: "So, what do you guys think?" Whiteboard: 500+ pages of lore and worldbuilding Others: "It's good, how much is important to the story?" Guy: "STORY?"

I just finished Gone Girl after finding it in the thriftstore last year and remembering seeing the movie long ago and thinking it was good 🤔

Thrillers aren't usually my cup of tea but this one is really good 4,25/5 stars 😁

I like to start my chapters with a quote, I know it's not uncommon, but I was wondering what people think about it as a reader? 🤔

Photo of Baron Harkonnen from the 1984 Dune film. Caption: I quite like the 1984 film version of Dune, but the characters are a bit far fetched. An obese, orange, diseased peadophile starting a war for his own selfish needs. Come on.

I'm currently reading book #6 in the Rivers of London series and I finally figured out my issue with it.

Is it just me or is Peter Grant, the sole POV character, also the least interesting character in the books? 🤔

It suddenly came to me that my favourites are the extras where the main character doesn't appear at all, but overall it's still pretty good 😁

Photo of a sign in a bookshop window. In large white letters on a black background it says: FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

I'm shocked to discover that doesn't seem to have an API. I prefer to post my reviews and such on my website first. I'd love to syndicate that programmatically to BookWyrm but nope.

But what if I'm reading all comfy in my bed one night and get a craving for cheese, should I stop and get up and get cheese, that doesn't sound right 😜 😂

Post but Uni of Liverpool Library: This is not a bookmark. Photo of an individually wrapped slice of cheese. Reply: Me talking to the pest control man - "No mate I've no idea why we have mice in the library" *Picks up a book and actual cheese falls out of it*
