Hey everyone! I am autistic, have ADHD and cPTSD, and would love to find some more neurodivergent people in the community to follow! It’s so nice discussing with people who think in ways similar to me, so if anyone else who is neurodivergent would like to become mutuals or even just get a follow from me (no pressure to follow back) I would love to connect!!! ♾️ (pretend that’s rainbow lmao)

Every so often, there’s a book that breaks through barriers and smashes glass ceilings in terms of representation. This has got me thinking about what I personally wish to see representing or mirrored in books in particular. I love C.G. Drews and Don’t Let the Forest In was the first book I read and really felt as though asexuality was something other than a joke or a character flaw and it meant the world to me knowing that I could read a book about a character like me on a level that so deeply resonated with me.

What do you all wish to see more in books? Character types? Plots? Situations? Or even if you think there’s been a book that failed in trying to deliver the representation it promised to show?

Here on our dear Pagebound Club we often talk about adaptations. Transposing a story from a written media to visual one is no easy task, and a lot of choices need to be made. How to render internal monolog, how to keep a good pace when you only have 2 hours to put 500 pages of content ? But now let's ask the real question : which show or movie would you love to read about ? If you could get a novel, or a trilogy, out of any show or movie ? Get the internal dialogs, feeling everything from the inside ?

And even more crucial question : is there a show/movie based on a book – not perfectly accurate adaptation – you would want to read a new book ?

I'm asking because of the NBC show Hannibal based on the book Red Dragon by Thomas Harris. They took a lot of liberty with the scenario and I'm OBSESSED with the final product. I love everything about the show, the photography, the actors, the editing, but when i tell you i'd be ready to give my soul to read the story from the inside 👀

I started reading books in English about 3 years ago and since then I feel guilt and shame when I read something in my native language (russian). My argument is that I live in an English speaking country therefore I must read only in English to improve my language skills. However, it makes reading feel like a chore even if the book I'm reading is interesting. Does someone have the same experience? What do you think about it?

I've started this quest backwards, all female authors, and read three books so far but I'm running into some trouble. The books I've read, Spiral Staircase, Another Little Christmas Muder, and the one I'm currently reading, Rebecca, have been slow paced and more focused on building tension. Which is great but it's just not what I'm used to. Are there any books in this quest by female authors where there's more drama, action and they move at a quicker pace? Thank you!

Happy Friday, everyone ! I have a post that could be intriguing/interesting .
