This one is okay so far. The Love that Split the World was more compelling to me, but I'll probably finish this anyway just to say I did.

got given this as a birthday gift last month and based on the blurb alone it seems like its going to be a fun read!

I read this book when it came out 10 years ago and it certainly lives in my head rent free.

I think miscommunication is overhated. There is an actual distinction between unnecessary, dragged out miscommunication to pull the reader for another 20 chapters without resolve of the issue, and understandable, character supported miscommunication that is to be expected in human relationships Communication is key but humans are complex and often don't like being open about their feelings in arguments. And I get that. There's also a story to be evolved, and if they deal with their issues two pages in thats not a book to write I also quite enjoy comedic stories with a main miscommunication plot. It can make for some rly funny scenarios, yk the stupid miscommunication kind I have three archetypes: Evil miscommunication; annoying, wattpad like, the author needed to make more money so they wrote another 100 pages Helpful miscommunication; character consistency, good pacing, when opportunity to resolve it arises they do Stupid miscommunication; it's the dumbest, most juvenile, this character genuinely has no brain shit and can make for some wonderful comedic elements For reference I'll use Ali Hazelwood's love hypothesis (this will contain spoilers moving forward so, heads up). Olive not figuring out the guy in the bathroom was Adam was evil. Any conflict with Adam and him being a dick or afraid to approach her romantically, helpful (or the matter with Tom and Olive's hesitancy). Olive's friend not dating her ex until she kissed Adam in front of her? The dumbest fucking shit on the planet (I will admit the stupid can fall under the evil and helpful categories at the same time, if the comedic elements aren't consistent and actually yk funny, it's evil)

I just read a review of a book I'm so excited about and the person actually DNFd it bc its in 3rd person... There's this one line review that said "third person dnf" š¬ And I've seen a lot of reels and threads about how 3rd pov is difficult to understand for some readers. Which is totally valid bc if it's difficult then it ok to avoid or dnf it but saying one is superior than the other is not ok though!!! And then there's someone on threads who has posted this stats about how 86% of all the books that's sold last month are all in 1st person!!!! šµ Please tell me about your preferences and recommend some of your favourite fantasy/romance books in 3rd person POV

Hello again!š¤ Today I was thinking about how excited I am to do a year wrap up when the year ends (obviously š¤£) and I want to ask you the same questions I asked my self, so here they go: 1- What's your favorite book of the year so far? 2- Which book/books you were so hyped for but ended up being a disappointment? 3- Which new author/authors you found out this year and feel in love with? 4- Which book/books you thought you would give 1 star but ended up giving 4/5 stars? 5- How close are you to complete your reading challenge (if you have one)? I hope everyone has a nice weekend and thank you for letting be your very curious book friend š¤£š«¶

Whether it's sci-fi or fantasy, you like a big series. You love when a book says 1 of 5/10/50+. Is the reading order of the series hotly debated? Is there a wiki chart to show how the books connect? Even better. Come spend some time in these worlds.

An introduction to the Romantasy genre, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.
