Hello hoomans! Good morning from my side of the world. Can't believe we are halfway through May. I hope everyone's reading is going well.

Have you ever read a book where you paused and say: you know what that's a valid reason to be a villian? 😅😂

So tell me, if you were to be a villian in a story what will be your origin story? 😆 NOTE: It can only because of inconvenience/pettiness. Nothing too serious like someone died. For example: all your ex-boyfriends keep bringing you pads when you ask them to buy you tampons. 😂😂

For me it will be, my barista keeps making my iced coffee watered down with barely any ice and too much milk. 🤫😮‍💨 OR telling me my dog is just a "dog" and not my baby. 😒

PS. As they say, we're all villians on someone elses story. 😉

I was at a loss of what to start from this quest and the new added books just put me out of my misery because I've been thinking of starting some of these (especially Iron Widow) for so long and this is just the push I needed!!

Are any of you on the same boat or did any of the new additions catch your eye? 👀

I'm writing a YA novel and having a hard time finding comps (comparisons to books to help position it in the market, i.e. this book is ___ meets ___.)

the most difficult thing is that the best comps should be recently released (past 3-4 years, give or take) and did well enough that comparing mine to them makes financial sense (this made money/won awards/spawned a successful TV series, so mine will too!) anyone with YA knowledge to the rescue??

elements of my book: -contemporary fantasy -small town in Maine setting -stepsister protagonists, one 14 and one 18 (freshman and senior) -blended family -biracial Chinese/white main character—Own Story angle -Arthurian myth (Merlin in the present day) -witchy mystery (Morgan le Faye's coven in the town) -high school slice-of-life -generational storytelling (protagonists, mom, and grandma parallel Mordred, Arthur and Morgan, and Uther and Merlin)

Anything coming to mind?? I will give my non-existent firstborn for some solid comps!

Just a bit of fun! I sometimes forget to select the user tab on phone, and on web sometimes I search for people to go and see what cool things they've been reading but I get a bit lazy

Because of this, I've accidentally landed on Jimmy Kimmels's The Serious Goose way too many times to count when going to check out what @SeriousGoose is up to. Or I decide to go see @daydreamday and end up staring at Daydream (Maple Hills, #3) by Hannah Grace wondering why I clicked on it without thinking 😆 There are other people like @yourartistfriend where I have never been lost though!

SO when you search your name (or username) under the book search, does a book come up? What is it?

Mine is Avalon by Anya Seton - which is one of many books with 'Avalon' in the title. But I still haven't read it.

P.S. If you haven't checked out @ayzrules's Pagebound User Book Cameo list, its fun and semi-related to this.
