These tortoises CREEP ME OUT.

Also, where the moon at??

Aloha Bookaholics!

Here is your question of the day:

Whats a bookish habit that you have that would seem weird to non-readers? 😅

What's your ideal book length?

OR

If you don't care about the above, what is your ideal chapter length?

For me, I think around 400 pages is my sweet spot, and chapters between 10 and 15 pages let's you get into a nice flow without feeling like you cant take a break.

Edit: I forgot to include: what is your ideal audiobook length?

Can't tell whether I should pity Winston or not. It feels like he's slowly losing his marbles but then he's got such a weird and negative attitude towards women. If the dark haired lady is spying on him, I'll take all of this back but so far he's jumped to a major conclusion with very little evidence 🤣 (The varicose ulcer has affected his cognitive functions?)

Y'know, initially I loved the thought of where Ruth lived. It seemed peaceful, and at one with nature. Now, I'm just irritated at how nosey and gossipy the locals seem!! I bet you wouldn't even be able to keep a fart to yourself. I would literally have zero friends there, because I'd be telling them all to fuck off and keep out of my business. 🤣

Already in love with this book. I am a fan of the 2nd person pov, and I enjoy the challenge that comes with being behind the eyes of the character. The theatre description automatically made my brain go to Spirited Away and I can't shake it now 😅

Feeling very sentimental about pagebound with the recent post about when people joined but I’m also thinking about the books I would’ve never known about if not for joining here.

Notably, The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E Harrow (and eventually the Everlasting); I probably wouldn’t have ever known about this book if not for the PB yoink train and general chat while reading it awhile ago and I absolutely love it. It’s so amazing to have a community where things like this can and do happen on the regular 🥰

So, curious what books others have found (and hopefully loved) through PB?
