Hi everyone! I'm 27 and I'm curious to know about who do you share with your comments and opinions about the books you read. Personally, not many of the people close to me likes reading, that's why I enjoy activitues like this so much.
Hi, I read so much and share it with no one really. I will occasionally read the same book as someone else (mostly my parents) and we will talk about it a little , but nothing in depth.
I started a virtual book club with some friends at the beginning of the pandemic, and we talk about a different book every month or so! It has been a good way to read some books that I would have no, otherwise.
I enjoy reading with my 2 daughters, they devour books. As a busy mom who once read about 3 books a week, I have *really* slowed down. My SO isnt a reader. I was also raised by a reader, and aim to do the same - even if time does not allow, 30 mins a day is great.
My bestie is a book dragon, and I love her for it. All the books, all the time, all the shares and knowledge.
I share with some of my friends but even then they’re not as into reading as I am. I started posting books I read each month on Instagram stories which have sparked some conversations about books. I also follow a bunch of people who post their reads as well so I’ll comment and share my thoughts if I’ve read the same book or the book is on my list to read. I just find Instagram a really good way to connect with people about shared interests :)

I usually share my current reads with my partner, and sometimes recommend books to him. Sometimes he reads them, sometimes not. I like to share book recommendations with my mom, but she reads mostly thrillers so we stick to that. I'm trying to talk to more people in my life about what I'm reading, and sometimes I'm surprised to find out someone I know well reads often but never talks about it!
My mom and I will share book recommendations back and forth.
My sister and I used to do a mini-book club together where we would read the same book. We haven't done it in a while though but this post reminded me of it and I would love to bring it back!

Je partage mes lectures avec ma voisine, qui lit, elle aussi, les même livres que moi présentement. Nous lisons les Bridgerton, et pouvons discuté de ce que nous aimons, versus la séries Netflix.
I have not a lot of readers in my personal circle, but now that my son is 8, we are reading some middle grade and graphic novels together. My friends have diverse reading tastes, but some will let me share a great reading experience. I have a bookstagram account but I’m flaky at best for posting reviews.
I almost never read books more than once. But I did recently reread Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, which I first read in high school. This time around, I feel like I focused on different themes in the book!
My tbr is too long to take time to re-read books, but I have definitely read books on my own and then years later, read them to my kids. Harry Potter is a great example.
I have a couple bookshelves full of books I have read more than once. While I do read a lot of new books only the once, these are always there should I need a comfort read, another visit to Pern or Narnia or Westeros, and some time visiting with old friends.
My father and son both enjoy the page turners of Clive Cussler as much as I do. They are great for a summer time read and spur conversations about all the featured locations and historical events.
I am currently reading Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede with my daughter (7). What books would you recommend that feature breaking-the-mold characters that we could look at after this one?
I have heard so many good things about the novel. I personally haven’t read it but my friends have. You should definitely try a novel called These Violent Delights. It has very interesting character development. Let me know if you decide to read it! :)
I like sharing my thoughts on recent reads firstly with my daughter-in-law Candice and I'll share with my friends on Facebook. Some will follow up and read and we'll share discussions.
I really love reading series but only if the entire series has been completed. Once I start reading a series I want to know how everything ends. I need to know how everything resolves and the ending for all characters. This is the reason why I also really enjoy stand-alone novels.
I do not enjoy open-ended or speculative endings as much as those that feel complete.
Growing up I was an extremely avid reader. I loved reading anything and everything and I absolutely devoured books. Since the end of high school, I haven’t gotten the same joy out of reading that I once did and I am looking for advice about getting back to loving reading again!

Which books have you read more than once?
I almost never read books more than once. But I did recently reread Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, which I first read in high school. This time around, I feel like I focused on different themes in the book!
I completely agree with you;
I completely agree with you; when I reread a book after a while, I learn new things.
Because everyone grows and changes gradually, returning to a previous book would have been a new adventure.
Mostly kids books
My tbr is too long to take time to re-read books, but I have definitely read books on my own and then years later, read them to my kids. Harry Potter is a great example.
My library is full of 'old friends'
I have a couple bookshelves full of books I have read more than once. While I do read a lot of new books only the once, these are always there should I need a comfort read, another visit to Pern or Narnia or Westeros, and some time visiting with old friends.
