fun fact: in the Italian translation, Glimmer's name was translated as Lux. I get why, even if I do not agree with changing names like that, since Lux means light in Italian (it's luce in italian). I didn't remember this at all. Maybe because the last time I reread this I read it in english.

I'm really interested in learning more about the awesome folks I've connected with on pagebound so far. I've interacted with many of you, and while we usually stick to books because it's a common love we all share, but I realized I only know a little about each of you through those conversations. That is totally fine if that is how you'd like to keep things, so no pressure to answer 😊. A little more personally about me: I'm a father (mid 30s) of 2 beautiful little girls (3.5 years and 7 months), married to an amazing woman and mother, and we also have 2 French bulldogs 😊. I'm currently a software engineer and my primary focus is infrastructure (all the boring stuff that websites like pagebound runs on behind the scenes and serves it all over the world), but I also freelance in web development still since it's where I got my start. Fun random fact: I was top 500 in overwatch season 3 🤣 Super happy to have met everyone and will hopefully continue to meet as this community grows 😊 Please don't forget to practice good internet safety when answering! 🫣

How do you feel about book clubs? Are you in one? I'm in a couple of clubs on Fable (online, the format is kind of like a forum) and usually manage to read some books with my best friend because there aren't any in our area that works with us (themewise mostly). How do you feel about online-videochatting ones? I'm conflicted, I don't think that format is for me.

I have a very very long list and I'd love to hear how you choose your next read?

My latest read really got me thinking about this question because it wasn’t totally my cup of tea, however, I’ve gotta say it was super well-written, touched on some really powerful, important topics, and had amazing inclusivity. So with all that in mind, I would still absolutely recommend To Shape a Dragon's Breath to others.
