Review of "I'd Rather Be Reading" on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

From the same perspective of book lovers, I found every word of the author relatable. Such a comfy feeling sitting on a couch reading a book about reading life!

I particularly enjoy the short series and statements the author derived from them. For example, when she warns about the attitude of book recommendation:
"You shouldn’t tell a friend how to live her life, unless she asks—and even if she does, proceed with caution."

And about the logging act of book life:
"It’s embarrassing to admit, but without logging what I read, I forget all about it. I retain the ideas, and remember them when they’re triggered, but without referring to my journal, I can barely remember what I’ve been reading."

That's also a reason why I started Goodreads to log my journey.
