Please tell me someone here has played the video game Doom (2016) because the world building in this book feels EXACTLY like the world building in that game to me, like literally just look up the gameplay, its so cool.

Inspired by @Coraline and @Bluehairedboy, I thought it would be fun to do a found poem with everyone. Instructions below! 💫💫💫 1. Copy the latest version (the opening, if you are first commenter) onto your comment. 2. Pick a book you're currently reading. 3. Flip to the page you last stopped at. 4. Pick a line, a few words, a whole sentence(!) from that page. 5. Add it to the last line of the poem and hit "Post". ⭐⭐⭐ ⭕ Tips - This is least confusing if each person replies the comment of the last person who added a line. - Don't get too worried about syntax, grammar, punctuation, what have you! 🏁 Here's the opening: Mother took hold of a soft white lamb

This is Inkheart if it fell off a staircase and broke its spine. Don't get me wrong, I liked the story but its like I just read the same plot twice. The whole foundation of this book is the same as Inkheart. Maybe I shouldn't be comparing the two but its hard not to because I very coincidentally read this book after Inkheart and everything was too fresh in my head to forget. All in all, the book wasn't too bad. A little slow and shallow, though. If you've read Inkheart, don't read this. If you want to read something like this, then read Inkheart. (I'm jk if you wanna read this go ahead) PS: Sorry, I did not intend to make this an Inkheart promotion campaign, it is completely by accident.

just wondering which books/authors everyone loved as a child which remain a cherished memory. I was 100% a Jacqueline Wilson gal, with a touch of ‘ally’s world’ and Roald Dahl

I'm really liking it I'm not finding one liners I really want to highlight, but each "story"/"section" so far seems to be the one liner I'm looking for if that makes any sense. The people feel real and very much established. I like this twist on time travel a LOT. The rules force the person to think if they really wish to time travel and I like that. It's haven't read a translated book before this, at least I don't think so. So the rhythm and style of storytelling is different but still very satisfying to read.

For me, I typically try and read the exact opposite of what I just finished in at least one aspect (i.e. if I read a 500+ page novel, I'll move on to a novella, or go from a light romance to an intense fantasy). Obviously if I'm on a roll with a series I'll try and continue it but I feel like flip flopping helps with keeping me out of reading slumps! Curious if anyone else has any little rules like this or how people determine what they're in the "mood" for as a mood reader.

I love interacting with the creative minds of the Pagebound community so i wanted to try an activity. I will probably do this often cuz I get bored a lot and need motivation heh "The sky was purple today. Mary had seen all sorts of skies in her life. They came and went like a travelling gradient in the background of her isolated town. Sometimes turning crimson like the wine in Old Barnaby's cellars, or a muted beige like the split ends of Jimmy's broomstick hair or even the gentle azure that Papa told had been the norm once. A time when the sky didn't change colours, he'd said. Mary hadn't believed that one." Please continue the story :)

Was there ever a time, when you were reading a book, that made you do a double take? As in the weirdest scene, sentence or moment you've read in what you thought was meant to be a normal book. Or something a character did that left you so mad because it didn't make any sense?
