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

  • Curious About Your “My Taste” Shelf…

    For the 5 books in the “My Taste” section on your profile, how did you pick them? Are they all 5-star reads, personal favorites, books that give off your general reading vibe, or do they all just scream "me"? I’m always curious how people approach it. Mine are all 5-star reads that kind of reflect my reading vibe, even if they don’t totally scream “me.”

    DNF?

    I’m think about it, I’m just not feeling this book, idk. I have a hard time letting go of things 😹 I’m way to apprehensive to just DNF it… maybe I’ll just pause it? 😮‍💨

    Slowly but surely

    Ive been reading a little bit, the book so far is fine, I'm enjoying it, but I've made very little progress so far, I think I'm at 40% right now. I don't have a lot to say about the story, but I like Chona's character, she's great.

    Don’t judge me I went into this pretty blind…I was not expecting so much Shakespeare and I can’t stand Shakespeare 😭

  • Do you DNF?

    I always feel guilty when I DNF a book. I used to power through and end up in a reading slump for a longgggggggg while but then realized I can... just... stop reading it. I still have trouble DNFing books so I'll likely pick them back up again and hope it's better but usually isn't and I end up in the same cycle again. If you do DNF, do you feel guilty?

    This book is quite literally about HOA nightmares; no but in all honesty, I don’t feel anything for this book, I don’t hate it or like it. First, I couldn’t bring myself to care about the siblings because there was nothing interesting about them, none of them have a redeemable thing about them. Second, the writing is not my cup of tea, I found it weird, and it made me not care about the story at all. Third, I was bored most of the time while reading, the story was interesting, but again, the characters intentions and inner monologues ruined for me. I don’t care about it, I could see why so many people liked it, but it was not for me.

    Tell me a little more about yourself

    I'm really interested in learning more about the awesome folks I've connected with on pagebound so far. I've interacted with many of you, and while we usually stick to books because it's a common love we all share, but I realized I only know a little about each of you through those conversations. That is totally fine if that is how you'd like to keep things, so no pressure to answer 😊. A little more personally about me: I'm a father (mid 30s) of 2 beautiful little girls (3.5 years and 7 months), married to an amazing woman and mother, and we also have 2 French bulldogs 😊. I'm currently a software engineer and my primary focus is infrastructure (all the boring stuff that websites like pagebound runs on behind the scenes and serves it all over the world), but I also freelance in web development still since it's where I got my start. Fun random fact: I was top 500 in overwatch season 3 🤣 Super happy to have met everyone and will hopefully continue to meet as this community grows 😊 Please don't forget to practice good internet safety when answering! 🫣

    I'm on chapter 5, and the book feels weird, I don't know how to explain it, I'm confused about the characters. I'll keep going, but very I'll be very cautious.
