Hey, Pagebound readers! I've noticed something about book covers that really bugs me: those featuring real people/photographs. Whether it's a face staring out or a posed figure, I get an instant aversion, and I suspect I'm not alone. I can’t quite explain why... maybe it’s too direct or breaks the imagination’s spell? If you also get this reaction, what’s behind it for you? Do you get through it and read the book anyway? The truth is that I've never ever read a book with a cover like that, even though I understand there are many great books behind those covers... I simply can't get past it. Can you help me unpack why these covers turn some people off? What about them clashes with the reading experience? 📚

Hello again!🤗 Today I was thinking about how excited I am to do a year wrap up when the year ends (obviously 🤣) and I want to ask you the same questions I asked my self, so here they go: 1- What's your favorite book of the year so far? 2- Which book/books you were so hyped for but ended up being a disappointment? 3- Which new author/authors you found out this year and feel in love with? 4- Which book/books you thought you would give 1 star but ended up giving 4/5 stars? 5- How close are you to complete your reading challenge (if you have one)? I hope everyone has a nice weekend and thank you for letting be your very curious book friend 🤣🫶

I really enjoyed this book. It was raw and emotional, and I loved how it explored complex topics like invisible disabilities. The story doesn’t shy away from showing that both main characters are deeply flawed, which made it all the more compelling as a modern-day romance. At its core, it delivers a beautiful message: that everyone deserves love and redemption, no matter their flaws or baggage.

„This is the first time I’ve slept with a woman who wasn’t Penny“ - what about Karen?! Ugh this book is so inconsistent it’s starting to really frustrate me. Edit: Okay, I should’ve read a bit further before sharing my thoughts. Turns out this was about actually sleeping. But the way it was worded and the context really suggested something else.

This book just feels all over the place. Stuff gets mentioned like we should already know it, but it was never actually part of the story. Like that line ‘He created a dark tunnel to break me, but he always made sure to let me know there was light at the end of it’ — when?? I don’t remember anything like that happening besides maybe one tiny moment in training. And then ‘If Kirk or Adam sees us, our careers are over’ — why though? I thought it was fine since they’re not trainer and trainee anymore? It just doesn’t add up.
