Would you consider doing a video about reading comprehension?

[@bunnypassion4790]

What's it about?

[@eericakaroliina9504]

@@bunnypassion4790 The History of Bees imagines a world where bees no longer exist, food is in short supply, and humanity depends on the brute labor of hand pollination in order to sustain itself. It has three different timelines in three different cities. The story is told of William who lives in 1852 England, George who lives in 2007 United States and Tao who lives in 2098 China. The book joins these three very different narratives into one gripping and thought-provoking story that is just as much about the powerful bond between the families as it is about our relationship to nature and humanity.

12:18 that's exactly why you shouldn't binge-read several books on one day for the sake of finishing as many books as possible. If she hadn't read both books right after each other she would have maybe enjoyed Christie's Poirot more or differently. Note how she doesn't compare it to any other author's books, just the one she read several hours earlier. And the books are different genres, so it doesn't make sense to compare the way she does here. Please people enjoy your books. Don't read because you think you have to read a certain amount a day. Sometimes a single page is worth re-reading and reflecting for weeks and that is okay. Books are not Netflix series or junk food.

[@caroliinalopes]

It's also okay to read as many books as fast as you'd like because it's something you enjoy and that gives you a feeling of accomplishment! Books are meant to be read however someone wants to read them. There's no "one right way" to be a reader. People can do it however they want and it's just as valid :)
