  • Recommend Queer Detectives Here!

    I've made sure to make note of all the books that have been recommended so far (although my TBR is literally in the hundreds so I haven't gotten to them all yet), but I wanted to make this post to consolidate all future recommendations.

    If you've requested a book before and want to add it again just to be doubly sure, go for it! If you were hesitant about making a whole post yourself, the comments section of this post is for you.

    All I ask is that the detective (amateur or professional, we don't separate them here) be queer in some way - and that means any identity under that 2SLGBTQIAP+ umbrella! If you could also leave a non-spoiler reason why you are recommending it for this quest, that would be delightful!

  • How do you read ?

    I recently saw the social media that a lot of people only read dialogues instead of the entire text from prologue to epilogue just to hit a reading goal. And that absolutely baffles me because I cannot imagine reading without knowing any plot lines or character descriptions, et cetera.

    So I’d like to ask the Pagebound community how do you all read ? Do you read every single word, imagine the scenes, and analyse ?

    I'm liking this,but the fact that dialogue is between ' ' instead of " " annoys me a little. The "single dots" are way more missable than " " or « ». A couple times the authore even skipped them and called it a day :/ If you are telling me what Brian texted,I still need the quotation marks,especially if you didn't make it clear that's a text. Just to make clear why I'm insisting so much about this: "I look like a featured extra in Grease, he replies, then tussles his hair back into its signature mop." Is what the author wrote and it's honestly confusing. Is it that confusing? No,but it's still grammatically incorrect and it irks me.
