Rereading

The other day I was discussing rereading books with someone - and it got me thinking. Do you reread? If so - which books do you commonly reread? I reread the Kate Daniels series (or basically anything Ilona Andrews writes) every year.

Hey hi

Hey pagebound! What’s your favorite genre to read?

What book format do you prefer?

Do you prefer to read physical books, ebooks or listen to audio books? I tend to do a mixture but lean towards ebooks (and then go buy my book trophy!)

Romance Rules for Werewolves (Charming Cove, #3)

Linsey Hall

Autumn is a time of snuggly sweaters, crisp breezes, and…. sexy, broody werewolves?When I inherit a magical house in the beautiful seaside village of Charming Cove, it’s just what I need to turn my dismal life around. Fresh off a bad breakup and with magic that I’ve ignored for a decade, I’m ready to rekindle my inner witch. The catch? The house is inhabitable until I renovate it, and the only place to live is with a brooding, rugged boat-builder who definitely doesn’t want me in his space. Though there’s no denying the electric spark between us, neither of us is willing to act on it. To make things more complicated, I have to renovate the house in thirty days or I’ll lose it. But the house hates anyone who enters it and attacks with loose floorboards and horrific odors. I can’t get a single contractor in Charming Cove to help me out. That leaves only one option—convince my new roommate to help me until I can untangle the mystery of why my new home is so moody. It’ll mean spending every day with the sexy, infuriating werewolf, but I’ll do whatever it takes to make my dreams a reality. Romance Rules for Werewolves is a fun, frothy romantic comedy full of laughter, love, and magical hijinks. It’s the third in a series of stand alone romances set in the seaside village of Charming Cove and the books do not need to be read in order.

How to Fake-Date a Vampire (Charming Cove, #2)

Linsey Hall

Faking it with a vampire duke should be easy, right? I’ve got one chance to prove to my coven that I’m worth my wand. But to do it, I'm going to have to make a deal with a vampire duke. I get to use his gorgeous estate in Cornwall to host the Beltane Ball--and in exchange, I'll pretend to be his girlfriend. But it's all a show for his grandmother. The rules of our fake relationship are simple: No flirting. No emotion. No sex. Easy, right? Except I can't seem to ignore the allure of the infuriating and devastatingly sexy vampire. Falling for a duke isn’t an option, though. I would lose the anonymity that protects me and my coven, and that would ruin my life--and the lives of the other witches in my coven. So yeah, totally easy. How to Fake-Date a Vampire is a fun, frothy romantic comedy full of laughter, love, and magical hijinks. It’s the second in a series of stand alone romances set in the seaside village of Charming Cove. The books do not need to be read in order.

Reading this book was really enjoyable! The story itself is friendly and makes us want to enter this magical world. I appreciated the character of the female character, we can feel in the writing that she has lived complicated elements but that she tries to be strong. I was very touched. The male character is just as nice! For once we don't come across a rich man who had a bad background. Here he is really touched by the actions and words of the heroine. He pays attention and tries to repair his mistakes. I find it crazy that throughout the book you can realize that if you believe in yourself you can go further. It was really a very pleasant read! I can't wait to read the next volumes.

Bookstagram?

Hiii everyone! I'm debating making a book instagram. I would love to connect with others there as well, however, I don't think I'd be "dedicated" to posting, etc. I'm not looking to become a reading influencer at all and I think I'd be too busy to really dedicate any sort of time to posting. Mainly, I'm wondering what people think of book instagrams, how they manage theirs, and if people think they're even worth it. Thanks community! <3

In this riveting dark fantasy debut, a woman with missing memories fights to survive a war-torn world of necromancy and alchemy—and the man tasked with unearthing the deepest secrets of her past. “What is it you think you’re protecting in that brain of yours? The war is over. Holdfast is dead. The Eternal Flame extinguished. There’s no one left for you to save.” Once a promising alchemist, Helena Marino is now a prisoner—of war and of her own mind. Her Resistance friends and allies have been brutally murdered, her abilities suppressed, and the world she knew destroyed. In the aftermath of a long war, Paladia’s new ruling class of corrupt guild families and depraved necromancers, whose vile, undead creatures helped bring about their victory, holds Helena captive. According to Resistance records, she was a healer of little importance within their ranks. But Helena has inexplicable memory loss of the months leading up to her capture, making her enemies wonder: Is she truly as insignificant as she appears, or are her lost memories hiding some vital piece of the Resistance’s final gambit? To uncover the memories buried deep within her mind, Helena is sent to the High Reeve, one of the most powerful and ruthless necromancers in this new world. Trapped on his crumbling estate, Helena’s fight—to protect her lost history and to preserve the last remaining shreds of her former self—is just beginning. For her prison and captor have secrets of their own . . . secrets Helena must unearth, whatever the cost.

Welcome to Pagebound everyone!

Hey y'all, Resident yapper here and just wanted to say I'm so excited to see so many new folks chatting books!! As someone who doesn't have many around me that read, pagebound has been such an awesome way to get my thoughts out and talk with others about some of my favorite books! I'm Devin, Father of 2 amazing little girls, husband, book reviewer, and software engineer. I live in CT and i'm 35 years old. I love SFF mostly but willing to dabble in anything. I run bromantasy.com which is a review site attempting to bridge the genre gap for Romantasy and SFF in general. My favorite books are Golden Son (Red Rising Saga), The Will of the Many, Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass), Spear Cuts Through Water, and Howling Dark (Sun Eater). Would love to know a little more about you all, please practice good internet safety when responding!! Again welcome to Pagebound, super glad you've joined this amazing community and look forward to chatting more about your favorite books! 😊

I flirted with a dragon shifter at a wedding, and it accidentally started a magical, miserable mating process between us.*This is a fun, steamy, full-length standalone romance with a happily ever after!

It was a quick and pleasant read. I think it would have been interesting to develop the world of dragons. And the relationship of the female character with her friends!

I'm honestly trying to remember as much as I can from Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Some things related to the Covey confuse me, but I hope things will get clearer as I advance in the book
