Hello! I need to pick my next audiobook to get from the library. Any recommendations? I generally read lit, sci-fi, and fantasy. Thanks friends!

When I started watching the TV series I had no idea it was based off a book series. I fell in love, ATE IT UP, and was devastated when it ended. Now I'm reading the book series and realize there are all these different details and plot changes throughout that don't perfectly match up with the show. I'm still on the first book so I don't have a fully formed opinion, but I have a feeling I'll always have a bias towards the show being my favorite simply because I saw it first (and yes I'm a Show Margo stan). So to all my Magicians fans — which did you experience first, and which is your favorite?

If I'm being honest, I was devastated when this story ended and I realized I wouldn't get to see more of this beautiful world and these characters. Once I went outside, touched some grass, regained some composure I realized that if it has to end, it couldn't have been a better ending (at least, for my personal reading tastes). It's actually in my hall of fame of "best endings ever." Perfectly bittersweet, enough details to imagine where the story could go but with enough to provide some closure that makes sense. Plus it follows the fairy tale vibe, and all fairy tales must have an ending to drive it's lessons home. Did anyone else have the same experience?

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! 😊

ttyl / ttfn / l8r, g8r ? Loved reading those in middle school and got the same thrill reading this book (but, you know, as an adult in a capitalist society who loves snooping through slack messages and stories where weird shit starts to happen out of nowhere). Anyone have any book recs that use the same IM/DM formatting like this and have a good story? Preferably something weird like this one!

I read this one quickly and had a tough time trying to capture my review in words. Reminded me of those short stories featured in the comprehensive tests in school that surprise you with how good they are and just...stay with you. The moment I keep coming back to when I think of this book was the room of screens. The visuals, the unspoken commentary it provides about the world we live in today, the emotions it evoked. Every room had it's own importance though, so I'm curious: what resonated with you all?

this is so weird. truth be told, i have never read a book like this and it is so intriguing. part of me wanting to DNF it but then i am way too curious about this book. i am an empathetic reader so i feel A LOT when i read so what i can sense from this guy is that he is losing his mind. that i can tell from the first 30 pages. the choppiness? that is not a lazy writing. the disjointed rhythm is deliberate. i can see that. honestly, i feel like i am in his head. everything. and he is not even telling you (as a reader) everything. its just bits and pieces like that is the only thing that he can process. i am going to continue reading this one.

I haven't reread the synopsis so I am kind of reading it in the dark. I have no clue where this is going?
