I‘ve seen this scattered around the internet before, and almost exclusively have a great time reading these kinds of ‚bad’ descriptions. I couldn’t find something like this on pagebound, so I thought we could try. (be aware that this might end up kinda spoiler-y for one book or the other)

so, the idea is: you break down the plot as simple as you can, for example in a single sentence, and let people guess what book you’re talking about.

I‘ll start: woman sparks revolution by acting like she’s about to kill herself.

Idc if it's toxic or healthy friendship, a duo, a trio a 10 person clique. It can be a lion, a witch and a wardrobe for all I care. Hit me.

Edit: It is done, my friends. You can find ✨️💖✨️The power of friendship✨️💖✨️ as a list right now. Thank you for all your recommendations and nice comments 🫶 This really is the best place on the internet

”His body was not feeling chivalrous.”

your honor he is DOWN BAD!! (and thank you Kingfisher for the amazing paladin-themed quips throughout this)

Can someone explain to me like I’m five what this is about? Without spoilers please, I wanna go for the sparkly snowman 🥰 Is it dark romance esque? Is it graphic?

Is this supposed to be confusing from the start or am I floating while reading it

As someone who reads with music in the background my question is does everyone have a different playlist for each book genre they read.

For example : Romance books - romance songs Dark romance / smutty books - smutty/dark romance songs

I can think of more but that just what I have on my set playlist on Spotify

So I am in need of some why choose recs because I feel like I've read all the booktok/popular recommendations. I've been wanting to read more why choose but I feel a little lost now lol. If you have a favorite why choose book let me know!!

if you guys had to choose - and i mean HAD to.

Would you prefer the first book in a series? or the last?

i tend to love the first installment in movies, because i’m a sucker for origin stories. Things like spiderman, maze runner, etc, i love love love origin stories. I do love the first installments in book series too for the same reason. including learning about the world and the characters.

the last book in the series is where everything comes together. the characters have grown in ways you’re proud of, and (mostly with the genre i love) the final battle draws near - and now it’s all or nothing. it’s everyone coming together to fight alongside each other, it’s strategies working in blissful ways and it’s the feeling of fear and excitement blending together as you find out what every single moment your characters have gone through has led to.

this is just how i feel about first and last books, and i - for the life of me - don’t know what i prefer.

if you had to pick, which one do you tend to love from a series?
