    TW: violence, gore, SA, animal abuse, child abuse

    This was an intense story of two women surviving within a brutal branch of the yakuza. Action-packed and fast-paced, but the last two chapters were, for me, slightly lacking in plot depth.

    Lighthearted, silly, and funny! Instead of being plot-driven, the chapters are more like short slice of life episodes that poke fun at how his old habits translate into married life.

  • Women's memoirs around the world

    So I am thinking about starting a second round of Around the World reading (the first I did with folktale collections). And since I love reading women's memoirs and (auto)biographies, I was thinking about reading one from every country. And since PB has such a nice international community, I'm going to ask: if your own country (or culture!) was represented by a woman (who has a memoir/diary/bio published), whom would you recommend for me to read? (I read English, Hungarian, and Spanish)

  • What's your sun, moon, and rising as a reader?

    I'm fascinated by astrology and the concept of the "Big Three" in a chart. I started thinking about it in the context of my reading experience and was curious what others would say!

    ☀Sun: the genre the world associates with you, usually your most read or most talked about in your reading lifespan ☜Moon: the genre you might not broadcast to the world, and people may be surprised you read, but find yourself drawn to or curious about ↑Rising: the genre you resonate with the most, or the genre your reading taste is evolving towards

    I'm a Fantasy☀ Thriller/Horror☜ Speculative Fiction ↑

  • Tik tok

    How do y'all find the self control to stay away from tik tok and actually read your books. I feel like every time I sit down it's just easier to sit and doom scroll than it is to read and I want to get away from that. I'd delete tik tok but it's so hard since I get so many good book recommendations there.

  • Found family recommendations

    I’m looking for a book with found family of a group (i.e. Six of Crows, Heroes of Olympus) where there’s some sort of quest or journey they need to go on or at least a goal they need to achieve. Any recs?

    I feel like this could have also made for a good action/gekiga manga. Somewhat reminds me of the KDrama My Name just based on the theme of a woman fighting for herself in a male-dominated gang environment. I’m interested in where this will go next.
