Watson's Sketchbook

Molly Knox Ostertag

The first volume of an ongoing adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, told through comics, sketches, and the occasional essay on late Victorian queerness. 178 pages black and white, softcover, independently printed, signed, extremely gay. Recommended 16+ for smoking, drug use, and allusions to sex.

Morrison's writing shows the inherent juxtapositions in life. She spends so much time making you think the mother doesn't love her children just to toss in moments of tenderness.

Pieces of Me

Kate McLaughlin

The next gut-punching, compulsively readable Kate McLaughlin novel, about a girl finding strength in not being alone. When eighteen-year-old Dylan wakes up, she’s in an apartment she doesn’t recognize. The other people there seem to know her, but she doesn't know them – not even the pretty, chiseled boy who tells her his name is Connor. A voice inside her head keeps saying that everything is okay, but Dylan can’t help but freak out. Especially when she borrows Connor’s phone to call home and realizes she’s been missing for three days. Dylan has lost time before, but never like this. Soon after, Dylan is diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and must grapple not only with the many people currently crammed inside her head, but that a secret from her past so terrible she’s blocked it out has put them there. Her only distraction is a budding new relationship with Connor. But as she gets closer to finding out the truth, Dylan wonders: will it heal her or fracture her further?

To Ride a Rising Storm (Nampeshiweisit, #2)

Moniquill Blackgoose

Anequs has not only survived her first year at Kuiper’s Academy but exceeded all of her professors’ admittedly low expectations—and passed all her courses with honors. Now, she and her dragon, Kasaqua, are headed home for the summer, along with Theod, the only other Native student at the Academy. But what should have been a relaxing break takes a darker turn. Thanks to Anequs’s notoriety, there is an Anglish presence on Masquapaug for the first time ever: a presence which Anequs hates. Anequs will always fight for what she believes in, however, and what she believes in is her people’s right to self-govern and live as they have for generations, without the restrictive yoke of Anglish rules and social customs. And fight she will—even if it means lighting a spark which may flare into civil war.

Summerween Readalong Challenge, maybe? 🫣

I love Halloween, but since we’re not there yet 🫢 I was wondering… maybe we could get a summerween readalong challenge? Wouldn’t that be nice? I think it could be cool! I don’t know what you guys think! It’s just a thought, but I hope we could make it happen!

The Last One at the Wedding

Jason Rekulak

From the bestselling author of Hidden Pictures comes a breathtaking work of suspense about a father trying to save his daughter from a life-altering decision that will put everything he loves on the line. Frank Szatowski is shocked when his daughter, Maggie, calls him for the first time in three years. He was convinced that their estrangement would become permanent. He’s even more surprised when she invites him to her upcoming wedding in New Hampshire. Frank is ecstatic, and determined to finally make things right. He arrives to find that the wedding is at a private estate—very secluded, very luxurious, very much out of his league. It seems that Maggie failed to mention that she’s marrying Aidan Gardner, the son of a famous tech billionaire. Feeling desperately out of place, Frank focuses on reconnecting with Maggie and getting to know her new family. But it’s difficult: Aidan is withdrawn and evasive; Maggie doesn’t seem to have time for him; and he finds that the locals are disturbingly hostile to the Gardners. Frank needs to know more about this family his daughter is marrying into, but if he pushes too hard, he could lose Maggie forever. An edge-of-your-seat thriller that delves deep into the heart of one family, The Last One at the Wedding is a work of brilliant suspense from a true modern master.

Can an audiobook narrator improve your experience of a book

Was wondering if you ever come across a book with a dull or not that best story line but the narrator was so good at what they do that you didnt mind listening to them even though you would have otherwise dnfed the book?

Which genre do you wish more people gave a chance?

Some genres just don’t get enough attention, whether people think they’re boring, confusing, or just not for them.

Asian Lit Quest?

Hi everyone! I’m new to pagebound and loving it so far 💛 wondering if there are any quests catered to asian literature? I couldn’t find any and thought it would be a good inclusion. Been meaning to read more asian lit books and having a quest would definitely help with that. Otherwise, does anyone have any good recs for asian lit? :) ps; looking for new friends here too!!

Book club Recs?

Hello all! I'm in charge of picking out the next read for my irl book club. I'm looking for something with a spooky summer campfire story vibe. (I don't know how to articulate the difference between autumn spooky 🎃 and summer spooky 🏕️ but it exists.) Please no body horror recs. I'll also take any other recs for a book your club loved no matter the genre because it will be my turn to pick again in 4 months!

The Bluest Eye

Toni Morrison

The Bluest Eye is Toni Morrison's first novel, a book heralded for its richness of language and boldness of vision. Set in the author's girlhood hometown of Lorain, Ohio, it tells the story of black, eleven-year-old Pecola Breedlove. Pecola prays for her eyes to turn blue so that she will be as beautiful and beloved as all the blond, blue-eyed children in America. In the autumn of 1941, the year the marigolds in the Breedloves' garden do not bloom. Pecola's life does change—in painful, devastating ways. With its vivid evocation of the fear and loneliness at the heart of a child's yearning, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. The Bluest Eye remains one of Toni Morrison's most powerful, unforgettable novels- and a significant work of American fiction.
