Andie’s ‘to-read’ books on Goodreads (24 books)

ANYWAY COOL STORY a while ago I made a new Goodreads account with the expectation that I would show off my spectacular and eclectic reading and reviewing progress and reading interests. I failed hugely on the first one because I am “getting” a “professional” “degree” or something; but my Want To Read list is still the lazy-person’s-personal-signifier that a bookshelf never is. Who wants to look at it to commiserate over how they too have not yet been able to surmount either a 150-page novella or a 700-page slab.

“The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!”

During a couple of test screenings, Chu says one commenter felt the proposal was derivative: “We’ve seen this scene before,” he remembers. Then a group of college-aged Asian-American women responded with, “Fuck you. We have not seen this scene before. This is ours now. We get that moment of the big kiss, and the big proposal. Now I can replace all those images of romantic comedies with our people.”
Crazy Rich Asians (2018) dir. John M. Chu

Tips for writers: prose

flopgoblins:

1) To increase tension, abruptly switch into the PoV of a character who is dead

2) To add drama to an action scene, use short sentences of one word or fewer

3) Alternatively, use one long, flowing sentence to cover the entirety of the scene

4) be consistent with punctuation. commit to periods, exclamation points, or question marks, but NEVER a mix of both. i am serious. why. because consistency is important. segregate your punctuation. next book can have exclamation points.
