  • Let's Play a Game! Would you rather...?

    Would you rather...cozy up to read on a rainy day, or a snowy day?

    Would you rather...read with tasty snacks, or a yummy beverage?

    Would you rather...buddy read with a friend, or tackle a book solo?

    I wanted to thank the PageBound team for all of their hard work overall, but especially with rolling out dark mode. It really helps those of us with light sensitivity and the like have an easier time with the app, making the user experience even better. Thank you so much 🥰

  • Question of the Day!

    Good morning Bookaholics!!

    How are we all?

    My question for you today is...

    Do you ever listen to anything while reading? (Excluding audiobooks)

    We have very high winds here on site, and it is being the absolute best backing sound for reading 🥰

  • WWW Wednesday

    tbh I can hardly believe it's Wednesday again, the last week just flew by for me!! As we circle back to hump day, I'm here again with my three weekly "w" questions:

    1. What are you currently reading?
    2. What have you recently finished reading?
    3. What will you read next?

    Sound off, and read what others have said about their reads, too - you may find some new friends with similar taste to yours!

    I’m having a hard time remaining engaged with this one. The pacing is much slower than expected. I’m hoping it picks up.

    Wither and Bloom: A sapphic Hades and Persephone retelling
    4.5
    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    I’m an absolute sucker for mythology retellings! I always find it so interesting to see how an author is going to spin a story already told.

    As some may know, the original story between Hades and Persephone is that Hades abducted Persephone and bound her to the underworld for part of the year. There were some similarities in the story, but I enjoyed this spin off much more. For this, Zeus banished Persephone from the upper world, trapping her in Hades’ realm.

    The attention to detail for Olympus and the underworld was fantastic. Hades was portrayed in a much different light, and I enjoyed the fact that Hades wasn’t the actual “bad guy” this time.

    My main takeaway from this is to find who you truly are without others trying to tell you, and that not everything (or everyone) is what it seems.

    I’m giving this a 4.5 instead of a 5 simply because I wanted a bit more romance/connection between Hades and Persephone, but the writing was well done!

    Thank you NetGalley and the author for the ARC!
