Or with time. I actually started writing reviews to help me remember books better.

I usually forget books that have boring characters too or simply books that don't make an impression on me. Although I have to admit that while I rarely forget the plot, sometimes I remember moments from books but I cannot remember the title of them! It is very hard to google a book when you know the plot but not the title!!Andreeahttp://cheekylines.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-23493904929218102992018-01-23T17:41:28.670-07:002018-01-23T17:41:28.670-07:00Nice twist on the prompt!

I also struggle with high fantasy. If like 75% percent of the book is world building and only 25% is plot, you've completely lost me.Nina @ Looseleaf Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562668355369241234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-42771156073420292432018-01-23T17:30:59.100-07:002018-01-23T17:30:59.100-07:00Yes, absolutely forgettable if the book was a text...Yes, absolutely forgettable if the book was a textbook.

I can handle if it I'm by myself in a doctor's office or something but if there are other people around I'm lost. I think my biggest issue is to similar to other books.

I used to read on the bus coming home from work and strangers were forever trying to talk to me. I hated it! Go away I'm reading! I write full notes on plot and characters as I read the book and I keep the notes until my review is on the blog and GR. That certainly helps me. I do have issues with short term memory so I sometimes have to re-read a first book in a series to freshen my memory before I read the next book if there are a few years gap in between. I generally remember the basics and characters I like in my books but not all the action that takes place.chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-74589189783843646562018-01-23T09:55:47.723-07:002018-01-23T09:55:47.723-07:00This list is fantastic and everything is so, so tr...This list is fantastic and everything is so, so true! Reading books in public is a surefire way for me to get home and realize I haven't the slightest idea what happened in the book I read while out. When I was kid, I read in public <i>all the time</i> and was able to completely tune out the rest of the world, but now... nope. I have the hardest time with character names and no matter how well I might remember the character, their name is a mystery. All of these reasons are completely accurate for me as well--great list!Jordan @ForeverLostinLiteraturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15231807884697678173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-6079163053502451032018-01-23T09:31:38.564-07:002018-01-23T09:31:38.564-07:00I forget characters' names easily as well.
