    Which books reignited your love for reading?

    I have recently got back into reading after a really long break... I got peer-pressured into the ACOTAR series lol, which reminded me of what I used to love about reading - I am on a roll now, reading books that I can't put down. I'd love to hear from people that have been in a similar position. Which books or series were so good they reignited your spark for reading and why? :)

    I am getting so frustrated at them both but I am having to remind myself that's it's because I have the benefit of knowing the truth!! Honestly, if I was in their shoes I'd be equally untrusting and suspicious... I hope they realise, fall madly in love, and run off into the sunset!! Haha!

  • Pacing rating in book reviews

    So, here on Pagebound we have the "quality" and "plot" star rating sub-categories, in which category do you take pacing issues into account? I think I'm doing it in both of them, because I have a hard time deciding where it fits and quality is just an overall thing but I don't know if considering it part of the plot is even correct 😅

  • Define Enemies-to-Lovers

    I absolutely LOVE enemies to lovers (in a bit of a phase - or maybe it's permanent; can't tell yet😂), but I find that most recs aren't really enemies to lovers (or at least, not my definition of it). Most either - 1) End with, "Well, aCtUaLlY, I've loved you this whole time!" - So... you were never enemies? 2) Are enemies for all of 5 seconds and then they're obsessed with each other. 3) Are closer to civil rivals and / or have a basic dislike for each other. My idea, in simple terms, of E-L is: If there is no attempted murder or harm / wish of attempted murder or harm (or at the very least - utter humiliation) from either or both sides, are y'all even enemies? But... what I want (need) is the tension! The BANTER! Give me the FMC and MMC who despise each other to the point where they would gladly kill the other, BUT they can't because of a spell or because of a reason one needs the other alive. Give me the MMC who uses his words then instead to try and strangle the FMC, except she isn't falling for that and fires back equally powerfully (aka Beautiful Banter). Forced Proximity? YES. PLEASE.😱 And EVENTUALLY (emphasis on eventually - slow burn) they fall in love! I want to see them get to know each other, and how their view of the other changes. Also, if it can be achieved with no to low spice. That's my perfect enemies to lovers. When do you consider a book to be enemies to lovers? And, if anyone has recs, please share.🙏
