I majored in Psychology so you can imagine how much I had to read and sift through for essays and projects lol A lot of it was interesting but some of it I really felt like I was grinding my teeth all the way until the last page lol I got enough of uninteresting reading forced on me while in school so I only like to read books I actually enjoy in my free time.

The thing that’s sus about this is people who are into reading, their book collections are not full of aesthetically pleasing book covers. Like some of the ugliest books are my all time favourite - we go for quality not looks

[@selahdamerville4039]

Oh my gosh. I am so glad i found someone that is so wholesome and funny (i don't usually laugh out loud with youtube videos but your sense of humor is a gem) that loves reading so much! You actually consider all aspects of it when reviewing it and not just wether you liked the book or not, i really appreciate you!

I'm 100% sure she just bought them for decor and then realized she could read them, like every cover matches. Coincidence? I think not

[@thirstwithoutborders995]

You think she read them? They all looked unread to me. I had a friend like that, she had really pretty, offbeat books, but when I took them out, you could see they had never been opened.

[@namjoonie936]

@@thirstwithoutborders995 nothing wrong with having books for decor lol

[@aricarly]

@@thirstwithoutborders995 I have read most of the books I own, but they look brand new because books are very expensive where I live, and I wouldn't like to ruin them. Also, I hated when I was a kid and other kids asked me to borrow my books. Me, being young and dumb, shared my books with them... only to have my books returned with food stains, pages ripped, the covers all cracked, notes written all over. I just cried and vowed to never let another of my books end like that. My parents had spent lots of money (and time, because the nearest book store was 4 hours away on car) to buy me books for my brat "friends" to destroy them.

[@BbGun-lw5vi]

mandy98 I empathize because I did the same when I was young and couldn’t afford books except for one on birthdays and Christmas. But Kendall’s books look new because she really hasn’t read them. Not because she was careful.

[@kristavaillancourt6313]

I'm not one to judge for liking short books. I like short books! Thing is, along with what you're saying, kinda seems like she wants the vibe of her home to be a reader's house but she doesn't read.

Amparo Dávila passed away last year. She was from Pinos, Zacatecas (Mexico) and was married to another famous zacatecan artist, painter Pedro Coronel. There's a national short story award in her name. Greetings from Zacatecas.

If someone is interested: there's a novel by Cristina Rivera Garza (another mexican author) that makes reference to several stories of Amparo Dávila and has been translated to english: "The Iliac Crest", published by Feminist Press. (Greetings from Veracruz, México)

Not to rip on Kendall Jenner but yes, totally to do that: It looks like she went out and chose the books for their cover and how nice they'd look on instagram. Honestly i've lost hope as a writer but seeing what managed to get published, i really should give it another shot. As long as i have a nice cover, it seems i'm covered.

the book covers are so aesthetic lol. but I've had enough regrets choosing books by their covers in school library. so I had made a habit of reading first few chapters before getting them.

In German we have a word for your feelings towards the first book. It's called Fremdschämen.

[@graceholt7374]

Ooo I’m adding this to my vocab 😎

[@feeline1120]

Fremdschämen= Secondhand embarrassment. Nothing special..

[@rosvokisu]

in finnish it's called myötähäpeä which would literally translate to with-shame

[@Laura-in9kg]

in Portugal we say "vergonha alheia" for secondhand embarrassment

[@doriendespiegeleer5752]

There's a word for it in English too ;). Second hand embarrasment. In Dutch we say 'plaatsvervangende schaamte'. So this isn't really a word that is typical of the German language. A lot of languages have a word for it.
