I can’t remember the Kreb’s cycle despite needing to memorise it many times during my degree. I don’t use it everyday so I’ve forgotten it but if I look up the Kreb’s cycle I’ll remember it again just from the visual cue.

Reply to What factors do you consider before starting a new book or series? Is there an "x" factor that decides what your next read will be? by jebodiah93

If I’m browsing a bookstore or alike, the cover is huge for me. I rarely look at title names, rather the cover and colours. If a cover strikes my interest, I’ll read the back and very rarely the first page. I often confirm my feelings on the book by a quick goodreads check to view the star rating and see whether any of my friends have rated the book.

I also use goodreads a lot to create a list of To-Read which includes real-life recommendations and those I come across on goodreads.

I’m typically a hard-copy book reader as well, however I do also tend to have a few audiobooks going for when I run out of podcasts and I’m doing tasks such as gardening, cleaning, or going on a long drive. I regrettably purchased this book following a recommendation without sampling the audio.

I’ll try and find the subreddit, thanks.
