I'd have enjoyed it more without the racism (often and with slurs), sexism, ableism, homophobia, etc. but the underlying haunting story was good. Great tension, great vibes.

Map Men
allie_oop commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
Yesterday, I went hunting for books that capture what it’s like to live in New Mexico because I’ve never been there, and I stumbled across a Reddit post from someone asking for the same thing. Their ask was because they were homesick. They wanted to read some things to bring them back to where they missed the most.
It got me thinking about how important place and atmosphere is to me in a book, and how a book that can lend itself to making a person feel just a little closer to home can also help give other people a taste of what that place is like.
So! I figured I’d ask my fellow Boundlings! Where is “home” for you, and what books have you read that captured what that place feels like?
