I have also read The Spellshop and there is one thing that surprises me every time and has left me wondering🧐:

Why and how does everyone keep fishing almpst anything out of their pockets?!👖 Tomatoes, potatoes, honeycomb, eggs, cheese?! 🍅🥔🍯🥚🧀But...how? Why?

It is convenient everytime though😅!

Hey fellow Boundlings! Long time listener, first time caller here!

I’ve been an avid reader my whole life, but a personal goal of mine this year was to read new genres or genres I stopped reading a long time ago (looking at you, YA)

So far, my goal is going really well! I’m breaking into sci-fi and finding what subgenres I really like! I’m also getting back into YA & Dystopian books after I got burnt out on them in high school 🫣

I’ve been thinking a lot about which books really helped “pave a path” for me into these genres, which made me curious…

What book(s) have you read that got you into a new genre/subgenre or brought a genre/subgenre out of “retirement”?!

I just love hearing about book lovers finding new things they like in books 🥰

I just had the silliest book moment.

I was walking home and an older woman, maybe in her 80s, asked me and my friends to help her carry her shopping bags up the hill to her house. She asked us where we had been and we said we saw a play about vampires. Then said she's just finished reading a vampire book. She then proceeded to tell us how she had gone to the book store and asked for more vampire books but the shop keeper had directed her to vampire romance and she said "but I don't want romance, I want EROTICA!! I'm not interested in the vampires, I'm interested in the sex!!"

It was so funny and wholesome.

We got to her front door and she said stay there, let me show you the book. "I'll quickly flash you... with the book" she said. She bustles away and returns at surprising speed for an octogenarian.

Anyway, my next read is Court of the Vampire Queen by Katee Roberts, thank you Ruth!

recently i’ve been watching yellowjackets and have been loving it, especially the teen timeline! does anyone have any book recommendations that have similar vibes or themes??

Mine is alienshe.

It’s one of my favorite songs from the punk band Bikini Kill but also I feel like an alien who was planted on this hell called earth. 👽🛸👾

are they gonna kiss or kill each other

Oh the things I do for Lewis Pullman and the film industry.

Im a big fan of all things abstract and surreal...you know, weird stuff! Really weird stuff! Weird games, weird music, weird films, and since ive just started reading books for the first time in my life, i'd like to read some weird books. So let me know...whats the weirdest book you've read? (Or heard of)
