i’m suffering. i read the forums, the reviews, and yet i still thought “oh it can’t be that bad.” i am now slowly trudging through this solely for the badge

Is the subtitle of this book “story of my life: sweating and other ways to get wet” because 80% in and I really wish I’d tallied how many times the FMC has mentioned how sweaty she has gotten.

I know, I know, another book recommendation post.

But Boundlings are my favourite type of people and I’m in desperate need.

My absolute bestest friend in the entire world is getting married, his pre-wedding celebration will just be the two of us up a mountain chillaxing and I’m tasked with the itinerary.

Part of the celebration will be chilling by the fire with books and snacks at night but I want to surprise him with some books he might like.

So here’s what I know.

Has recently enjoyed Fourth Wing. Is currently making his way through ACOTAR. He loves a good magic system. Like most millennials, loved the series that shan’t be named as a kid. Also, loved the Mercy Thompson series. And I have a vague memory of Twilight but I’m less certain of that.

I feel like it would be super cool to find anything like these but with a gay couple as we’ve always predominately read books with straight relationships when we used to read together as teens 20 years ago 🥰

Please. Thank you. You’ll have my undying gratitude.

Hell any other ideas for chill and bookish things you can do up a mountain will also be appreciated.

i am honestly only reading this because it’s the botm in a discord server i’m in. i don’t know how i feel about it. i’m bad at analyzing and it’s not my usual genre of books i read
