    A must read to understand later sapphic vampire novels - this is quick and engrossing, but didn’t live up to the hype in my head. I was expecting something more explicitly sapphic but given the time period my expectations were unrealistic

    Propelling, thought provoking and bingeable - this will make you uncomfortable and disgusted, and that’s the entire point

    She was solid, she was cute, I had a good time - nothing groundbreaking here but nothing unenjoyable either (in a very positive way).

    This is not a perfect book, definitely have some polishing points on plot and craft, but I devoured this and loved the reading experience

    Obama era nostalgia inducer. The audiobook, narrated by Michelle herself, is the way to go. Save for a time when you need to believe in America again

    I now think about tuberculosis weekly, previously I thought about it never. If that’s not a ringing endorsement idk what to say

    So massive PSA this is written by a comedian - the tone is comedic. The subject matter is not. This is not a book you’ll be able to send to the people in your life who need deconstructing. It’s more of a “preaching to the choir” situation for those that already know fundamentalism is a disease, indoctrination is dangerous, and religion without critical thinking leads to ignorance. It may add some interesting tidbits for you, but if you’re already highly educated in this subject you won’t learn anything new. Recommend for those in the beginning or middle of their religious reconstruction journey

  • Ways to use Pagebound

    I love using pagebound however I feel like I use it more for list making, reading forums and talking about certain books but tracking my books??? It stresses me out. What do you'll think? Update: I will be reviewing books the way fourteen yr old me would on tumblr. A little lighthearted, sort n sweet.

  • Thank You!

    I'm a total newbie here, only joined yesterday, but I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! This is exactly the cosy, welcoming, joyful space that I have been seeking. I used to be a voracious reader but then in my late 30's I returned to University and was balancing full-time work with part-time study. I felt guilty anytime I tried to read for pleasure as I had so much reading to do for my course. Earlier this year I decided to take some time out of studying and I hoped to fall back in love with reading for the fun of it. Twelve months and twelve books later I have been well and truly bitten by the reading bug again and then I stumbled into this beautiful place full of kindred spirits! I can't wait to start planning my reading for 2026!
