    I got bored reading this one. I think it was just too long and repeated a lot of what happened in book 1

    The Mad Wife

    The Mad Wife

    Meagan Church

    From bestselling author Meagan Church comes a haunting exploration of identity, motherhood, and the suffocating grip of societal expectations that will leave you questioning the lives we build―and the lies we live.  They called it hysteria. She called it survival. Lulu Mayfield has spent the last five years molding herself into the perfect 1950s housewife. Despite the tragic memories that haunt her and the weight of exhausting expectations, she keeps her husband happy, her household running, and her gelatin salads the talk of the neighborhood. But after she gives birth to her second child, Lulu's carefully crafted life begins to unravel. When a new neighbor, Bitsy, moves in, Lulu suspects that something darker lurks behind the woman's constant smile. As her fixation on Bitsy deepens, Lulu is drawn into a web of unsettling truths that threaten to expose the cracks in her own life. The more she uncovers about Bitsy, the more she questions everything she thought she knew―and soon, others begin questioning her sanity. But is Lulu truly losing her mind? Or is she on the verge of discovering a reality too terrifying to accept? In the vein of The Bell Jar and The Hours, The Mad Wife weaves domestic drama with psychological suspense, so poignant and immersive, you won't want to put it down.

    Would you rather…?

    I am sick, so I made this! Some of these are supposed to be hard, some are genuinely only about preference. All lighthearted of course, don’t take them TOO seriously (unless it would be funny to do so)

    1. Would you rather read 🛖in a lonely cabin infested with spiders or 🏢standing up on a busy sidewalk where you keep being bumped into and run danger of having things spilled on you and your book?
    2. Would you rather 😍love a book that everyone else hates with a passion or 🙄hate a book that everyone else loves with a passion?
    3. Would you rather 🔮know the ending of every book you read from now on as soon as you read past the third chapter or 🤔struggle to fully understand every single ending unless you have someone explain it to you or look it up?
    4. Would you rather have dinner with ✍️your favorite author or 🥸your favorite character?
    5. Would you rather have your favorite book turned into a screen adaptation that 🌇is wildly inaccurate but incredibly good in its own way, or 🌃is incredibly faithful but still bad in pretty much every other way (acting, editing, effects, colour, costuming, …)?
    6. For the next five years, Would you rather only be able to read 🎵booktok™ books or ✖️books from your least favorite two genres?
    7. For the next year, Would you rather 🤖only read books generated with AI or 🤓have listen to a litfic bro™ explain to you why every genre but litfic is not real literature every time you start a new book?
    8. Would you rather be 🕴️be kidnapped by a hot mafia billionaire or 👽abducted by a hot alien?
    9. Would you rather 🔜only be a able to read books published from this very second onward or 🔙only be able to read books published up until this very second?
    10. Would you rather read ❓a series that ends on a cliffhanger and the author has no intention of finishing it or ❗️a story that ends with no happy ending for no narrative reason other than shock value?

    Feel free to elaborate on some or all (or not at all) on why you chose the way you did & to add other tricky questions in the comments, I’m curious to see what pagebound thinks 🫶

  • Book Rec Game 👾

    I see so many posts/comments about needing book recommendations or help getting out of a reading slump. Let’s play a fun game to add a few (or possibly several) books to our TBRs! 🙌🏻

    Drop a GIF in the comments and then see what book recommendations someone has for you based solely on that GIF alone. It can be a vibe you’re hoping for, a nod to a genre you’re craving, or something completely chaotic and random. 😈

    If you see a GIF and it makes you think of a book, drop a rec!!

    Happy book finding 📚🤸🏼‍♀️☕️✨📖

    How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women

    How to Kill a Witch: The Patriarchy's Guide to Silencing Women

    Zoe Venditozzi & Claire Mitchell

    Nothing brings people together like a common enemy, and witches were the greatest enemy of all. Scotland, 1563: Crops failed. People starved. And the Devil's influence was stronger than ever—at least, that's what everyone believed. If you were a woman living in Scotland during this turbulent time, there was a very good chance that you, or someone you knew, would be tried as a witch. During the chaos of the Reformation, violence against women was codified for the first time in the Witchcraft Act—a tool of theocratic control with one chilling to root out witches and rid the land of evil. What followed was a dark and misogynistic chapter in history that fanned the flames of witch hunts across the globe, including in the United States and beyond. In How to Kill a Witch, Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell, hosts of the popular Witches of Scotland podcast, unravel the grim yet absurdly bureaucratic process of identifying, accusing, trying, and executing women as witches. With sharp wit and keen feminist insight, they reveal the inner workings of a patriarchal system designed to weaponize fear and oppress women. This captivating (and often infuriating) account, which weaves a rich tapestry of trial transcripts, witness accounts, and the documents that set the legal grounds for the witch hunts, exposes how this violent period of history mirrors today's struggles for justice and equality. How to Kill a Witch is a powerful, darkly humorous reminder of the dangers of superstition, bias, and ignorance, and a warning to never forget the past… while raising the question of whether it could ever happen again.

  • Book Recs?

    Hi everyone! This is a bit hard to put out there, but I'm in a bit of a depression slump right now, and I have no push to read anything but I am determined to read. I need some book recs that will grab me and make me want to continue until the end, nothing psychological or thriller right now, maybe some cozy fantasy or even contemporary romance. My favorites in both genres are The Cruel Prince by Holly Black and The Enemy's Daughter by Melissa Poett, and anything by Ashley Poston, but the ones I've read and loved are The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics. I'm currently behind on my reading goal as well, I need to read 4 books to catch up. Thanks!
