    I'm so glad I finally picked this book up. I expected to enjoy it, but I didn’t anticipate just how much it would pull me in. From the very first page to the final line, I was completely immersed. It’s the kind of story I know I’ll return to - probably when the weather turns cold again and I’m in the mood for something atmospheric and haunting. Since I shared thoughts after every chapter, there isn’t much more to add now, except to leave one final quote from the epilogue that I enjoyed: "The rain stayed with me all the way back to California. An abrupt departure, I knew, would be too much; if I was to leave the East at all, I could do so only gradually and so I rented a car, and drove and drove until finally the landscape changed, and I was in the Midwest, and the rain was all I had left of Camilla's goodbye kiss. Raindrops on the windshield, radio stations fading in and out. Cornfields bleak in all those gray, wide-open reaches. I had said goodbye to her once before, but it took everything I had to say goodbye to her then, again, for the last time, like poor Orpheus turning for a last backwards glance at the ghost of his only love and in the same heartbeat losing her forever: hinc illae lacrimae; hence those tears."

    What kind of reader are you?

    I just saw a quiz (readyourcolor.com) on tik tok that tells you what kind of reader you are and I thought it’d be fun to share here! There is a good mix of fiction and non-fiction and instead of telling you what genres you like to read, it tells you what you tend to like in a book. It’s 24 short book descriptions that you say how likely you are to read and then at the end you get assigned a color with book recommendations for that color group. I’ll share my results in the comments :)

  • Why Did You Pick Your Pagebound Avatar?

    I’m curious—how did you decide on your avatar when you joined Pagebound? I originally picked the goth/emo-looking girl because her haircut was similar to mine. I almost went with the little green witch because she has such a cool vibe, but in the end, I chose my current avatar since I’m a total sucker for romance books. Don’t be surprised if I switch to the little green witch at some point, I just feel drawn to her! I’d love to hear your stories! Did you pick your avatar because it looks like you, fits your favorite genre, or just because it’s cute?
