    I really shouldn't have read this at night being such a scaredy cat... Poe really has a way with words to make you hear and feel and see every gloomy characteristic of the places he describes.

  • A little note as we step into May 🌿🌼

    Hello my lovely Boundlings! 💜

    I wanted to share my monthly reminder on gentleness: your reading life doesn’t have to be consistent to be meaningful.

    Maybe April didn’t go how you planned. Maybe that stack you curated for April stayed untouched, the coveted streak slipped away, or your brain just said “not today” more often than not. That’s okay! Books aren’t going anywhere. They wait for us until we’re reading to come back.

    Reading isn’t something to win, it’s something to return to again and again. ✨📚

    So for May, let’s lean into gentler rhythms: • Follow your curiosity, not your TBR • Set a book down the moment it stops working for you • Rest your mind without guilt • Count every page, every paragraph, every enjoyed moment

    Where’s your curiosity leading you this month? I’d love to hear about it!

    Happy May, my friends! 🦋🌿☀️🌱🐞

  • 📚 Question of the day !

    Hello ! I wanted to try to make a fun interactive post where people can share their opinions. Also because I love hearing bookish opinions from other people 🤞🏻

    What is your biggest bookish pet peeve ? (Something that irritates you)

    I’ll go first, my biggest pet peeve is when I find a book that I want, but it only has a hardback edition 😶 I hate reading hardbacks and I will rather wait months just for the paperback edition to release 🥹

    Lectura para un curso de literatura infantil y juvenil :) Este minimalismo que incita a la imaginación sin necesidad de cargar con muchos elementos y colores es justo lo que necesitan los niños de hoy en día en lugar de la inmensa cantidad de estímulos de los videos de YT en las tablets.

    What would you do if one of your fanfiction's original characters happens to save you from being bullied one day at highschool? That is what happens to our main character Cassie, and now her very normal fangirl writer life becomes a chaos as she is forced to face the reason why she created such character, what it means to her and how it affects her relationships with others. This comic is a love letter to the very concept of a fandom, no matter what fandom you are or were part of, you will heavily relate not only to the characters but also with the writers and illustrators themselves. I loved the insights into their own experiences in the fandom world as it really puts into perspective how every topic addressed in this comic is carefully chosen. The art is stunning, the color palette is so vibrant and every character is original in their own way. Although it is targeted to a younger audience, mostly teenagers because of the ages of the characters themselves, I deeply enjoyed it as a girl in my 20's, and I believe even an adult would reminisce about their fandom years if they read it. Surprisingly, the comic is also heavily didactic for the younger ones, because it portays topics they can relate to, how some characters deal with them and how other characters guide them to maybe a better response and even find out the reason of such responses. Overall, the combination of all of these ingredients makes for the perfect comic to read at the beach in August, the month it is released. I don't know about you, but I will be waiting for the next part to be released because that ending couldn't be more more cliffhangery.

    Than you so much to Netgalley and BOOM!Studios for the opportunity to read this work!

    My Thorns For Your Roses

    My Thorns For Your Roses

    Kristen Argyres

    True love takes many forms. As one of the few survivors of her generation, Lark wants to live a quiet, peaceful life. All she needs is a tolerable husband. On her 24th birthday, Lark offends the local faerie lord, the shapeshifter Tamlin, who punishes her with a rose rooted in her flesh. In her efforts to convince Tamlin to undo his handiwork, Lark visits the forest daily and discovers the breathtaking and terrifying wonders of his realm. Despite her pragmatic nature tugging her toward a mortal huntsman, Lark falls for Tamlin. After a near-fatal accident exposes Tamlin’s cruel deception, Lark moves to the capital to accept a marriage of convenience. Yet when she learns of Tamlin’s capture, Lark must choose whether to secure her future or risk it all to save the love of her life from his cannibal ex. -- MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES is a "Tam Lin" retelling written in the spirit of the Scottish faerie tale and folksong - for readers who enjoyed the fae in Heather Fawcett's EMILY WILDE series, retellings like Naomi Novik's SPINNING SILVER, and the complicated family dynamics of Kell Woods' AFTER THE FOREST and UPON A STARLIT TIDE.
