Hi everyone:) I've been really into surrealism and magical realism lately. I absolutely loved Leonora Carrington's The Hearing Trumpet, and I'm a big fan of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. Also I just read Piranesi from Susanna Clark, and my mind was totally blown away by it. So if you happen to have any good recommendations similar to these, please share:) I'm also particularly interested in female surrealist writers, if you have anyone in mind, I'm all ears (pun intended) 👂🏼Thank you!:)

never read any of her books, so for those of you have read them, which one do you recommend starting with? or which one is your favorite?

Just because I’m nosey 🙃. Where are my PB friends located? I’m from the UK and tend to notice my feed is very quiet in the mornings and was putting it down to different time zones.

I’m curious, I always try to have at least 5 books to choose from for my next read but sometimes I don’t know which one to pick, how do you usually pick?

At the halfway point. I really love the setting. Cannot say the same for the dialogue. This is just Suicide Squad and it has the same quippy “they fly now?” vibe that has plagued so much media in the past 10 years.

This is making me crave mooncakes so bad right now 😭 I've experienced the wonders of meat mooncakes recently, but nothing beats a baked doubled yolked up white lotus or a teo chew flaky yam 😩👌🏽

So, he thinks Lolita is the incarnation of his childhood lover?🙄

Hello! I'm looking for recs for October reads that aren't part of a series as I'm planning to start a big series in November.

I'm curious what everyone is planning to read this month or recommends!

I like fantasy with a sprinkle of romance mostly but I am open to different things.

 THE MOST REMARKABLE feature of the interior of the little fretvine house, as always, was the sheer number of books: walls and stacks and veritable canyons of tomes, on any number of obscure subjects. My master quite literally lived between books, often using them as a desk and nightstand. She even had to carve out a little cavern in them for her bed.

Living the dream life 😮‍💨

I'd like to propose the following books: "Iron Widow" by Xiran Jay Zhao. "Masquerade" by O. O. Sangoyomi. "Out" by Natsuo Kirino

Might I suggest Too Old for This by Samantha Downing. It’s about a “retired” serial killer who is forced back into the “business” when someone starts asking questions about her past.

Take the case for Edward. Although he clearly has a secure relationship with his parents, it is difficult for him to form a secure relationship with Bella…. The scent of her blood, his desire to kill, and his fear of becoming a monster all prevent him from having any sort of normal, secure relationship with her.

Perhaps if Edward and Jacob had continued their open conversation in the tent a bit longer, they would have realized that, despite the centuries-long battle that has existed between their kind, maybe vampires and werewolves aren’t so different after all.

YEAH AND THEY COULDA FUC—
