”When I first met Vincent, I thought I was smarter than him, in the same way I think I'm smarter than most people when I first meet them, a sure-fire sign that I am probably, in fact, quite stupid.”

Max is so judgemental yet self-aware, and her attempts at saying and doing the right thing are hilarious.

I'm really bummed that the 2026 Pride event doesn't have a fantasy lgbtq+ book on it. I tried Ace of Spades, a thriller, because I've enjoyed the occasional thriller. . . But I barely liked teen fiction as a teen. Makes me feel excluded that nothing in an event that represents me has anything appealing to me. 🤷‍♀️

hieee <3 when was the last time a book had you so hooked you stayed up late into the night even though you knew you had to get up on time the next day? and what book was it? it’s honestly been a looong time since i’ve been so into a book that that has happened, but last night i was up until midnight reading the harriet tubman live in concert book! (that’s late for me!)

Hi, everyone. I really don't know where I should put this post or where it belongs but I don't really know where else to put it. So I'm sorry! If anybody wants it removed I can do that if you just ask! A couple weeks to months ago I posted something asking for a recommendation for books. It ended up blowing into this whole thing because some people felt that I was unfairly excluding the LGBTQ+ community by asking for books that excluded those characters and I wanted to say that I'm sorry that I posted that. It wasn't nice of me to do that and I was being extremely immature with how I responded to some of your comments. While my beliefs haven't changed, I shouldn't have done that and I know it hurt a lot of you. When I look back on it now I cringe with how I acted. I'm really sorry, everyone. I wanted to directly message the people who originally commented as to not bother the rest of PB, but since we don't have that, I didn't know where else to post. Another thing is that most of you guys were being very kind and understanding and, at the time, I didn't grasp onto that. I'm truly sorry, you guys!

Hi, everybody. Right after I posted this I had to go, so I just got back on and saw all the comments. I didn't think how it would disrespect the LGBTQ+ community if I posted it during Pride month because I had been thinking on it for weeks, and had time and the opportunity to post. A lot of people are also commenting about the fact that I said that it still doesn't align with my beliefs. I said that because I didn't want to be deceitful and make it sound like I had now accepted it. I understand that my apology might not do anything to fix the situation, but I wanted to do something to at least try to. ( I can delete the post by the end of the day or tomorrow morning so people can see my edit).

I enjoyed the Divine Rivals duology by this author but I definitely wanted more world building in that.

I’m hoping for: ✅ rivals to lovers ✅ a propulsive fantasy story ✅ detailed world building that I can escape into

Also the map having the straightest line made me laugh
