Post from the Lucia, Lucia forum

Hi everyone!
I'm currently studying Acting for Stage and Screen at uni, and we recently looked at Lee Strasbourg's Animal Exercise, which basically includes us deciding which animal we think the character we are playing would be and then studying that animal before acting as that animal physically to then use as a way to connect more with the character.
This got me thinking about the character of the book I'm currently reading.
So, as the title says, what animal would the MC of your current read(s) be and why?
I'll go first - I'm currently reading Lucia Lucia by Adriana Trigiani, and I think the MC, Lucia, would be a badger because she is tenacious, fearless, and independent!

This will be purely based on vibes. If you want a more accurate answer to something that might fit your taste also tell me what genre you'd like the book to be and why you love that item specifically. The item probably won't be mentioned in the recommended book, especially if something specific.
Your favourite item can't be a book, but it can be related to books, for example, a nook, a library decoration, bookmark. Other than this, it can be literally anything that you have in your room and you particularly love.
I'll start: my favourite thing in my room is the deer tooth I bought at the Celtic festival I go to almost every year (it's completely cruelty free, they just find some bones when on hikes, identify them and sell them).

Hi Pagebounders! I am sadly in a pretty bad reading slump and I’m really trying to get out of it. Like I want to read my books but the motivation is lacking when it comes to picking up my Kobo or turn on an audiobook. (It’s most likely caused by the stress and time crunch of movie countries at the end of this month 😅) What do you all recommend when it comes to getting out of a reading slump?

Freida McFadden, you've done it again.
This was a great book that had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. The twists and turns throughout shocked me. This was not a typical Freida book in the sense that it doesn't have a prologue and isn't in parts like other books I've read of hers, but I still really enjoyed this book. It was strange to go straight into the book rather than having a prologue, which made the beginning feel a bit weird to me. I was in a little bit of a slump when I started this book but in good old FM style it pulled me out of it.
This felt like such a well rounded book because of there being twists right up until the very end. This is easily in my top 3 FM books that I've read so far! We love supporting women's wrongs!! Highly recommend to fans of FM or those just starting out with the thriller genre!

This is my first book by Frieda McFadden and I enjoyed it. It made for an easy listen on Libby. What other books do you recommend by Frieda?

Happy Friday, fellow fiction fans!
Drop the first line or two of the book you're currently reading, and let fellow Boundlings try to guess the title and author. If no one gets it by the end of the day, come back and reveal the answer!
A few friendly guidelines: • Keep it to the first line or two only (no spoilers!) • Don’t include the title or author right away • Feel free to add a hint later if people get stuck

Happy May, everyone! Hope everyone has a great month filled with love and happiness!
What goals or plans do you have for the month? These can be book related or just random goals you have!
I'll go first - my goals for the month are to read at least 4 books and a non-book related goal is to finish my uni assignment for the summer break!

Currently reading book 3 of 12 for the year! I think I’ll be able to exceed my yearly goal from the looks of it!

Hello!
Tell me something that's made you smile recently.
I'm hoping that by reading lots of people's examples I will absorb the positivity into my own life at the moment!
It might be: A piece of good news A silly joke A fun card in a shop window A little win A day of sunshine...
Please share away :) Thanks, I can't wait to read them and get some secondary cheer!
