Cause I can't o.o

Ready for the atlas six to destroy me.

Im new to the dark academia genre and am looking for a good book to start! I love dark fantasy and heists (my favorite book ever is six of crows) so any recs for a beginner in this genre?

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the developers of Pagebound. They really do listen to the comments from users. Commented something about search engine going to "users" everytime, now it's automatic at "books". Brilliant. Thank you SO MUCH <3 really appreciate to see the change :D

I was browsing users profiles on the discover page and I absolutely love the feature of seeing people's favourite books on their profile. But it has made me wonder, what books would you consider as a red flag when seeing on someone's profile?

Sooo "Blood over bright heaven" seems like the perfect book I have been seeing it anywhere and for a while I couldn't go a second without hearing about it from reviews, all positive I pre-ordered it, as one does it sounds exactly like what I would love Now, there are not many but a noticable amount of either booktubers/booktokers and personal friends that have tried it and have painted a completely different picture of the book than the one I had. • Surface level, choice feminism, nothing that one hasn't read before from fantasy being what got my attention I guess my question is what has everyone's experience with the book been like?

I've been told this has the same vibes as This Is How You Lose The Time War, just straight. Those are big shoes to fill your honor! The expectations are set HIGH

I am adamant not to read books on booktok because I feel like they are overhyped or that they are all the same exact book. The books are also marketed by tropes. Isn't the whole point of books to be original stories? However, I have found some gems in booktok, divine rivals was really good, but inheritance games was boringggg, and I refuse to read shatter me. Are there any books from booktok anyone has found worth the hype? Because I feel like the best books are always the ones you find hidden in the depths of Goodreads or even just on google, and nowhere close to the booktok community.

I feel like I’m going to cry in this book but then again when do I not? 😂 Anyway I love Marcellus
