  • once upon a time book recs

    hi guys! i’m currently re-watching once upon a time, and i was wondering if there’s any books that are like it? the whole disney-tales re-told kinda thing? or any books like once upon a broken heart because i think that has a similar vibe to what i wantšŸ¤ž i like the magical side of things, so any YA magic books like ouat/ouabh would be appreciated 🩷🩷 edit: young adult isn’t necessary, but if it is adult i’d rather it have no spice/low spice!

  • Do you count re-reading towards your reading goals?

    I usually do because even though I'm not reading a new book, I AM reading an entire book again. But I am confused as to whether I can count it towards my reading goals on PageBound or not. I'm aware it's a quest here or something like that and I don't want it to be unfair (?) I guess. Or to make people feel less about than their reading goals? Because if I see someone way ahead and reading like 200-300 books per year, I am like, aw I wish I could be such a voracious reader but then I catch myself and I think—everyone has different circumstances and I should not compare myself to others.

    I went on a tangent there. If it's not already obvious, I have GAD so I overthink a lot about stuff like this ā˜ ļø

    But the point is that I don't want to unwittingly contribute to someone's spiral like that 😭 Because I can relate

    This world gets more and more immersive the more I read. I love how all the books feel part of the same land, the same lore and add depth and colour to a story that has such a special place in so many people's hearts. Sunrise on the Reaping gives readers a chance to dive into one of the most intriguing characters in the Hunger Games Universe and it delivers. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see Suzanne Collins continue building out the past, present and future of these characters. I hope she feeds our curiosity, exploring on our behalf so that we can soak up everything there is to learn a about the events that led to a revolution.

    Imagine if "How to train your Dragon" was set in New York City. I was immediately thrown into the action and love the fast paced world building. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting a dragon read, without overly complex lore. A solid fantasy read.

    This book blew me away! I was transported to a new land, coloured brilliantly with lore and history. This book is a historical, fantasy, coming of age story that keeps you on your toes. I was immediately on team dragon and couldn't wait to see how the adventure unfolded. One of my favourite dragon books I've read. I recommend this books for the whimsical, kid at heart who just wants a good tail...whoops I mean tale.
