Hello fellow Pagebounders, I am happy and excited to share that after so so long, I have finally convinced my dad to pick up reading! This being said I need some absolutely fantastic recommendations for him, so he will finally understand what he's been missing this whole time. I've given him a couple recommendations, but I need a steady stream to give him, so he doesn't give up too soon. So far, I've started him off with Project Hail Mary which I think is a good summary of what he likes. He's a huge space nut, but he prefers when there is still a sense of realism. He loves old monster movies, and The Shawshank Redemption is his favorite movie. I think he would like mysteries and thrillers. Also, it is preferred that they are in audio form as he likes to listen when he's on the road, and nothing too crazy long. This is the chance of a lifetime I have been long waiting for, so I beseech you all to please lend me your recommendations. I trust you all as you have never let me down before.

I do think the art work was lovely and there was a lot of heart put into this, but I really just found myself wishing for more throughout the reading experience. I really think the flower trope could have been taken a lot farther, I think character development and character depth could have been more intricately defined, and I think the significance of the magical connection/trauma bond between the two MCs could have been delivered in a more emotionally evocative way.

I've truly been so pleasantly surprised with every installment in this Romantasy series. Coming from Radiance and Eidolon and being so invested in Brishen and Ildiko's story only for the continuation of the saga to continue with the story between Anhuset and Serovek ended up working so fricken well. Yet again, I'm blown away by the seeming effortlessness of the world building and the way it's delivered chapter by chapter. I was enthralled by how well the author captured the emotional progression of each character, and I was DISTRAUGHT with need when navigating all the sub plots woven into the story that continue to make me invested in the world. I NEED another book in this series to follow through and release Megiddo from the hell scape he is enduring😭😭😭

I regularly check this section in the Discovery page because I'm always so curious to see what books have caught people's attention, and I get a genuine lurch of excitement whenever I see a fave listed among them. My question for y'all is what book have you been excited to see in that section/what book would you love to see pop up in that section? 👀
For me, a few days ago Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune 2052-2072 popped up in the most TBR'd section and I let out the equivalent of a victorious battle cry😂 LOVE that more people have eyes on that book🙌🏽

Is it weird to be put off when a book on Amazon mentions TikTok in the page title? More so when it's 'Tiktok made me buy it!' (This seems to be one author on all three of their books).
