Predictive text game--book edition

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was amusing.

Write "My library is a collection of books" and let your predictive texts finished the sentence until you're satisfied.

I'm guessing this is mobile-specific? Do they have predictive texts for PCs nowadays, lol? 🫣

I'll go first:

My library is a collection of books for your rec center and the crocodile Dundee.

The Thorn Queen (The Rose Bargain, 2)

Sasha Peyton Smith

Wed to one brother. In love with the other. Bridgerton, The Selection, and The Cruel Prince collide in this Victorian-inspired romantasy; the sequel to the instant New York Times bestseller The Rose Bargain. Having won the hand of the faerie King Bram, Ivy is now Queen of England. But with his ascension to the throne, Bram unleashed the fae into the human world. After hundreds of years of being kept from their favorite playthings, the Others are looking to make up for lost time—and they do, with wicked revelry that sweeps through the country. To survive, Ivy acts the sweet, devoted wife. Behind the smile, she plots to banish her husband, save her sister Lydia, and reunite with the love of her life, Emmett. Yet Emmet and Lydia are trapped in the Otherworld, where fae games are deadlier than ever—and a queen must play most viciously of all. Or see herself dethroned. Forbidden romance, deceptive bargains, and lethal court intrigue intertwine in this mesmerizing, fae romantasy sequel that will captivate fans of Once Upon a Broken Heart and Belladonna.

hardest part of a book?

by this i mean percentage/page count. i usually really enjoy the beginning, when authors are introducing their characters, conflict, worlds, etc. and then the middle when characters are actually taking the action to resolve said conflict. i always really struggle with the last 100-150 pages (depending on the length of the book) because that is typically when the solution is being reached, everyone's happy (or sad or dead, even) and not much else is going on other than wrapping up the story. i'm wondering if others are struggling the same way? are you struggling with other parts of the story? would love to hear people's thoughts!

Don't Let the Forest In

C.G. Drews

Once upon a time, Andrew had cut out his heart and given it to this boy, and he was very sure Thomas had no idea that Andrew would do anything for him. Protect him. Lie for him. Kill for him. High school senior Andrew Perrault finds refuge in the twisted fairytales that he writes for the only person who can ground him to reality—Thomas Rye, the boy with perpetually ink-stained hands and hair like autumn leaves. And with his twin sister, Dove, inexplicably keeping him at a cold distance upon their return to Wickwood Academy, Andrew finds himself leaning on his friend even more. But something strange is going on with Thomas. His abusive parents have mysteriously vanished, and he arrives at school with blood on his sleeve. Thomas won’t say a word about it, and shuts down whenever Andrew tries to ask him questions. Stranger still, Thomas is haunted by something, and he seems to have lost interest in his artwork—whimsically macabre sketches of the monsters from Andrew’s wicked stories. Desperate to figure out what’s wrong with his friend, Andrew follows Thomas into the off-limits forest one night and catches him fighting a nightmarish monster—Thomas’s drawings have come to life and are killing anyone close to him. To make sure no one else dies, the boys battle the monsters every night. But as their obsession with each other grows stronger, so do the monsters, and Andrew begins to fear that the only way to stop the creatures might be to destroy their creator…

August Wrap-up

📚 August Wrap-up 📚

Can't believe it's September, summer is almost over and I ended it with some incredible reads.

Started the month with The Strength of the Few by James Islington and what a sequel, this book has it all, Islington is the master of the plot and I'm pumped we finally get to see the magic system shine. Full review coming soon, exclusive early look at that review next month for those who are signed up for the bromantasy newsletter!

Another super notable read this month was Mercy: Tears of the Fallen by Chance Dillon! This Grimdark debut was an awesome time, Chance doesn't hold your hand, throws you in the deep end, and trusts the reader to trust him as he unfolds this new dark world in spectacular fashion. Don't sleep on Mercy or Chance because I have a feeling he's in the Grimdark scene for the long haul.

Read some other great indies like Umbra (Amber Toro) #scimantasy and An Inkling of Flame (Z.B. Steele) a perfect Grimdark novella, Empire of the Damned (Jay Kristoff), and Demon in White (Christopher Ruocchio) which is hands down the best paced book I have ever read. Don't sleep on The Sun Eater series if you've been waiting to start.

Dark mode

This question is not very book related but more website related.
I was questioning if there is going to be a dark mode added in the future? If it is going to be added later, my eyes would thank you very much.
