I’ve technically read both The Call of the Wild and White Fang but it was so long ago I barely remember anything. I do, however, remember liking White Fang more and I’m starting to realize why. The Call of the Wild is brutal and, quite frankly, excruciatingly dull. I’m rereading this with one of students I tutor and it’s hard to get through. It’s not the descriptions of animal abuse, gore, or violence that are really getting to me (although some explicit scenes can be rather gruesome)— it’s the fact that although the novel itself is rather short, its plot isn’t strong enough to hold its own. I can appreciate Jack London’s writing and his capabilities as an author but man! I’m struggling to stay awake here! I pray my second experience with White Fang is much better.

ok this is not a critique of this book, i actually am loving it so far, but it’s just incredibly funny to me how in every single novel about high-control christianity that i’ve read, bible quotations are never from the king james version💀this one quoted from niv!!! you’re telling me that Natalie has grown up in this incredibly strict christian family/bubble, and her first thought of a bible verse is niv!!! be so for real (this isn’t a real problem lmao, just something funny i’ve noticed considering all the strict christian environments i’ve been in are kjv all the way)

I wanna start off by saying im aware PageBound is focusing on genre specific quests rather than universe/author ones and that the existing ones are quite old. This is just for fun and im curious to see what others think 🤭

Hypothetically if you were able to create a universe/author specific quest right now, which would you choose and why? The more niche and unique, the better! And ofcourse as a bonus, what badge should such quest have? :0

Im honestly unsure myself, as some authors have books that are unconnected and won’t fit nicely in a quest and some universes are so small they’ll barely fill up a side quest 😩 looking forward to seeing yall’s ideas ✨
