Bro this clinical trial is already so biased and she hasn't even done the fraud yet 💀

Hi hello,

I have a small general question to pose for y'all - when do you call it quits with an author?

I'm not talking about cases where the author does something that puts you off, but rather their writing style/plot progression / etc.

I bring this up because there is a specific author who puts out books with such intriguing and fun premises (to me), but the two times I gave them a shot, I was greatly disappointed by the execution. So, I decided their books were probably just not for me. But every time I see one of their books and read the synopsis, I'm like "hmm, maybe I should give it another chance?" So I was wondering what you guys do in situations like these? How many "chances" do you give an author before you just accept that as much as you'd love to love their books, it's not going to happen T_T

Hi! So I am trying to decide which book from Clarice Lispector to start with. I am mostly interested in “Perto do coração selvagem”, “A hora da estrela”, “Agua viva” (Near the wild heart, hour of the star and Agua viva). For someone who doesn’t usually read these type of books but has no problem with more complex text, which one would you recommend starting with?

Sou portuguesa mas vou tentar pedir uma versão brasileira para ler na lingua original :)

One of my favorite hobbies aside from reading is language learning and it just so happens that reading helps you with that. Since I study Korean and Spanish, I usually read fanfics in both and Korean webtoons, but this lead to my curiosity for more GNs in Spanish and audiobooks in both! I’d love to hear any book recommendations in my target languages, but I also want to hear more language learner experiences from my fellow pagebounders!

If you’re on your own language learner journey, which language are you learning/have learned? And what’s a memorable book or piece of media that’s been a part of that journey? :)

Hiii! Looking for some more indie authors to support. Any good recs?

Thanks💜

Ok so I’ve heard of the “Spellsong cycle” and “Mystwick School of Musiccraft”. But does anyone know books where the magic system is based off sound/song? (also if including sound, I’ve read the invisible college which was…mid at best and why is he in a relationship with his student at worst).

It’s for a story I want to write, where you essentially fight with songs, and you guessed it there’s a big bracket tournament. I just don’t know how’ll work, like would you have to learn how to freestyle beats and songs? What instrument goes with what and how’ll lyrics impact the attack.

Thanks and sorry guys 😅 maybe it’s time for me to learn music theory
