How has so much happened and also, like, nothing happened? is this the price of too many POVs? it's been 24hrs of audiobook and I still feel like we're barely out of the setup phase. 😭 I guess that's what happens when you split the plot across books. This definitely feels like an older method of pacing, I don't think modern books could get away with this stretching out lol. To be clear it's not bad per se, it's just a lot... and also not a lot. somehow. As a reader accustomed to modern books this feels like a totally different tempo. Maybe that's just Robin Hobb for ya, though.

Agatha Christie recommendation

Hello Everyone, I just arrived on Pagebound and the community seems really nice so I'd like to ask you for some recommendations. ✨

I'm looking to read different genres this year and I really want to try one of Agatha Christie's books, but I don't know where to start. I already seen Crime on the Orient Express, And then there were none and Death on the Nil.

If you have some recommendations other than those 3 I would deeply appreciate it! I love a good plot twist and mysteries behind closed doors🫣. And if maybe some of you want to read it together to share thoughts I'm down!

Have a nice day ! 😄

The Fires of December (Hoid's Travails, #3)

Brandon Sanderson

In the next Cosmere standalone novel, Hoid has an epic tale to share: In a forgotten land sustained by colorful rivers of demon blood, a young woman named December learns a devastating plague is on its way. But who will believe her? Against impossible odds, she sets sail up the River Violet to warn the king's court, determination—and wisdom beyond her years—burning in her eyes. Along the way she’ll navigate incredulous royal officials, twisted court intrigue, and a roguish count with only her wits and her new friends: a talkative priestess and a fledgling fashion designer.

Crooked House

Agatha Christie

The Leonides are one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That is until the head of the household, Aristide, is murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection. Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiancé of the late millionaire’s granddaughter.

Getting back into reading, looking to make some reading friends! ✨

Hi! So, as the the title says, I’ve started to get back into reading this past year and really want to share this with other people! 🩵

So if your tastes align with mine please give me a follow and I’ll follow back. I’d love to do like a little unofficial book club or something! ✨📚

The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #2)

Rick Riordan

The heroic son of Poseidon makes an action-packed comeback in the second must-read installment of Rick Riordan's amazing young readers series. Starring Percy Jackson, a "half blood" whose mother is human and whose father is the God of the Sea, Riordan's series combines cliffhanger adventure and Greek mythology lessons that results in true page-turners that get better with each installment. In this episode, The Sea of Monsters, Percy sets out to retrieve the Golden Fleece before his summer camp is destroyed, surpassing the first book's drama and setting the stage for more thrills to come.

Beautiful illustrations but I did not understand the ending 😶. I felt like I juste witnessed the lives of people and that we didn’t get a lot of progress in the plot. I finished this story with more questions 🫠

She can't see how she ever will. Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king—a king whose country is in turmoil.

A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior. And he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before.

If she doesn’t die young. Most of the chosen do.

Girls of Paper and Fire (Girls of Paper and Fire, #1)

Natasha Ngan

Each year, eight beautiful girls are chosen as Paper Girls to serve the king. It's the highest honor they could hope for...and the most demeaning. This year, there's a ninth. And instead of paper, she's made of fire. In this richly developed fantasy, Lei is a member of the Paper caste, the lowest and most persecuted class of people in Ikhara. She lives in a remote village with her father, where the decade-old trauma of watching her mother snatched by royal guards for an unknown fate still haunts her. Now, the guards are back and this time it's Lei they're after -- the girl with the golden eyes whose rumored beauty has piqued the king's interest. Over weeks of training in the opulent but oppressive palace, Lei and eight other girls learns the skills and charm that befit a king's consort. There, she does the unthinkable -- she falls in love. Her forbidden romance becomes enmeshed with an explosive plot that threatens her world's entire way of life. Lei, still the wide-eyed country girl at heart, must decide how far she's willing to go for justice and revenge.

We Hunt the Flame (Sands of Arawiya, #1)

Hafsah Faizal

People lived because she killed. People died because he lived. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected; if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya--but neither wants to be. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. But an ancient evil stirs as their journey unfolds--and the prize they seek may pose a threat greater than either can imagine.

Nocte (The Nocte Trilogy, #1)

Courtney Cole

My name is Calla Price. I'm eighteen years old, and I'm one half of a whole. My other half—my twin brother, my Finn—is crazy. I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I'm terrified he'll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me. I'm doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I'm drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline. Dare DuBray. He's my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are where I feel safe, where I'm afraid, where I belong, where I'm lost. He will heal me, break me, love me and hate me. He has the power to destroy me. Maybe that's ok. Because I can't seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I'm so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming. You won't either.

The Raven Scholar (The Eternal Path, #1)

Antonia Hodgson

From an electrifying new voice in epic fantasy comes The Raven Scholar, a masterfully woven and playfully inventive tale of imperial intrigue, cutthroat competition, and one scholar’s quest to uncover the truth. Let us fly now to the empire of Orrun, where after twenty-four years of peace, Bersun the Brusque must end his reign. In the dizzying heat of mid-summer, seven contenders compete to replace him. They are exceptional warriors, thinkers, strategists—the best of the best. Then one of them is murdered. It falls to Neema Kraa, the emperor’s brilliant, idiosyncratic High Scholar, to find the killer before the trials end. To do so, she must untangle a web of deadly secrets that stretches back generations, all while competing against six warriors with their own dark histories and fierce ambitions. Neema believes she is alone. But we are here to help; all she has to do is let us in. If she succeeds, she will win the throne. If she fails, death awaits her. But we won’t let that happen. We are the Raven, and we are magnificent.

Audiobook recs for getting to reading?!

My best friend is not a reader, but is interested in starting to read some via audiobooks. She loves podcasts, so anyone books with great narrators would be perfect!! She loves a murder mystery, but also loves a rom com. So if you have any audiobook recs that would hook someone getting into reading pls share (I don’t listen to enough audiobooks to be much help to her).
