Mexicana, love books. I write reviews any grammar mistakes, blame them on my first language being Spanish, thanks and bye.

  • Favorite book genre?

    I was thinking about it, like, I mostly read thrillers/horror books, and I always say that I’m not that into romances, but I clearly I’m a sucker for a good romance every once in a while and recently I’ve been very in non-fiction. So what’s the genre you gravitate the most? For me I think it depends on my mood 😹 and you?

  • To DNF... or to pause, that is the question?

    What do you usually do if there's a book that you started to read and realized you weren't really in the mood for a book like this but you're not sure WHEN you'll be. Do you pause it when you go to log the book OR just DNF it?

  • TBR Purge

    Curious if anyone goes through periodically and removes books from their TBR that they’re just not interested in anymore? If so, how often? I went through recently and removed books that had been on there for over two years, I’d had multiple chances to read them but they never seemed to interest me and I feel like now I’m likely never going to want to read them so there’s no point in having them sit on my TBR. Would love to hear everyone’s process for this if they do it!

    I’m such a sucker for romance books, like, I love them so much, and I had no idea what this one was about, no clue, and it surprised me so much, I almost cannot believe how much I loved my reading experience. The book is obviously not perfect, but I found it cozy and cute, I honestly loved all the characters and their storylines, loved the little random pop culture sneaks and how the author ended her story, it was so cute. This is my first book by the author, I’m definitely picking up her other books, no doubt about that, I’m so happy about this one, I cannot wait to read more stories of hers.

    So far I think the book is cute, the story is quite original (I’ve never read something like it before) and I like the characters. I’m quite intrigued by the whole Anders knows he’s a character in a book, I need to know how and why.

  • What are your comfort books?

    In my mind, comfort books (or series) are more than just a favorite you revisit occasionally. They’re books you might reread every year, or that you turn to when you need something familiar and welcoming. They might be connected to a specific memory or time in your life, or gifted to you by someone special. Or the story just resonates with you in a way that brings you comfort. Here are mine: -The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo -The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare -Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson -A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft (I do not support her being a Gale defender, do not come for me 😭)

  • I judge a book by its ___

    Be honest: is it the cover, the title, the author, the blurb, the vibes, or the hype?

  • A book you didn't like?

    I'm working on completing a book bingo for my local bookstore and one of the prompts is to read a book a friend didn't like. I don't have friends that read often, so I thought I'd ask here... Recommend me a book you didn't like!

    I thought about DNF it many times before hitting the 50% mark, the beginning was not interesting for me, I was kinda bored with the narration and the extensive descriptions of people, places and actions, however, I pushed thru and finish it, only to find out that the rest of the story is actually good and interesting and exciting, I was rooting for everyone to save the kid. It’s a heavy read, the topics are heavy and honestly, the descriptions are sometimes way too much, but overall is a good story and the ending is so sweet and heartwarming. Shout out to the friend here in pagebound who encouraged me to go on!

  • Shorter chapters or longer ones?

    I've read books with both longer chapters and shorter ones and depending on the book and plot I'd say they fit... but, longer chapters feel intimidating. I feel like I can read multiple shorter chapters alot faster than the longer ones, even if they total up to the same number of pages. (For example: chapters 1-5 = 30 pages as opposed to chapter 1 = 30 pages) Does anyone else feel like that? Do you prefer longer chapters or shorter ones?

    It’s getting interesting, the pace is slow, but steady.
