Hi I’m Carli! I’ve loved books my whole life. Right now I love fantasy & romance, but I also enjoy sci-fi, Greek myth retellings & mystery. Besides books, I love makeup,pink, rock climbing & theatre!

    I challenge everyone who has ever said fantasy books have ridiculously long names in them to read this book. This book was good, but a little bit of a let down after the first one. I wanted to hear more from Lilith, I didn’t think her story was done yet. I also didn’t love Akin’s perspective until halfway through the book. It was still really good though, as I’ve found all Octavia Butler books to be.

    I think I would’ve enjoyed this if I wasn’t constantly thinking that Inez is so incredibly stupid. Every time Whit was near she acted like a complete idiot. She was more distraught over complications in their situationship than the death of her family and friends.

    How many book trackers/bookish apps do you use?

    I'm currently using Goodreads, StoryGraph, Fable and Pagebound so I find it overwhelming to update everywhere after I finish a book! But I'm trying to use only pagebound and StoryGraph for now, one for conversations and the other for stats. So I'm wondering how many do y'all use and any other bookish apps other than trackers that's you find useful?

  • Are you a library adult? Please tell me what you'd like to do/see there :)

    Hello wonderful Pagebound friends, I recently accepted an offer to become the adult activities supervisor at my local library. Yippee! So I come for inspiration... *Other than book clubs* - which we have several of already - what sort of events/classes/etc for grown ups would you be interested in attending if they were held at your library? Please be as specific or general as you'd like. I'm going to make a big brainstorming list to (hopefully) impress my boss with :P
