These are the romance novels that we never get tired of reading. That we never get tired of reading about. Or talking about. We've been meaning to collect our deep dive episodes in one place for years, and we've finally done it, largely spurred on by Pagebound's existence. We hope you'll find something you love in this collection, and we hope you'll enjoy listening to us, your newfound discoverabilibuddies, talk about it. Go for the gold!

Incredible world building and well worth the long journey but not as well executed as Mistborn since the middle dragged at times. The ending though! Dalinar and Kaladin had me by the throat.

Originally "paused" and maybe DNFd because the start was slow, then it was picked for the Spring Readalong, which gave me the push to finish. I really liked how Shakespeare was incorporated, and I could vividly picture the scenes that were play re-enactments (Macbeth on the lake! incredible!) The atmosphere was doing its work. I didn't love how transparent the plot was and could not stomach the characters. I get that they're young and confused, but they never shed their typecast stereotypes, and I was begging for a little common sense...a tragedy easily avoided in my opinion.

Is there a way to specify the format of a book as an audiobook, an ebook, or a physical book? I usually tend to oscillate between listening to an audiobook or reading something on my e-reader, so I was wondering if there was a way to log that!

Thought provoking, haunting, somehow peaceful, the perfect length with nothing left to excess. Fascinating meditation on what makes us human, what makes us women, the double edged sword of hope and memory. I’ve just never read a book without the presence of the male gaze, and it will stay with me. “Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it's all a male fantasy: that you're strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren't catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you're unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur.” - Margaret Atwood, The Robber Bride
