I'm talking about a phrase, or a pattern you've noticed from an authors writing style. Or even just a trope or quirk you've picked up on on your reading journey! For example, in each of Sarah J Maas' books you'll find sentences like "Tired. He was so tired" or "Fear. She could smell their fear" and once I noticed this, I couldn't stop seeing it š¤£.

Honestly kinda nervous to start this, just because I don't have the habit of reading high fantasy, but also very excited considering how much people like this series (and just Brandon Sanderson's books in general)

Edit: nvm there's already a Christmas quest lol.. I should've checked first haha I was thinking of putting together a quest for Christmas books to read in July (or a list, if that's not really following what quests are for). Would anyone be interested in joining me? I already have a few books in mind, since I did already have a list of books for myself. - Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake - Lovelight Farms by B.K. Borison - Christmas in Eldovia by Jenny Holiday (3 books) - Window Shopping by Tessa Bailey If anyone's interested, I would love to put this together and have some fun Christmas reads for July! I would love some input on how many books you guys think would be good to list, and also any recommendations!

Hereās the thing about this book: the story itself? I liked it. With the fake dating, Stella being insecure and doing things because she thinks its best instead of things she actually wants to, but through the story she gains more confidence and starts working on her designs and doing things that makes her happy, and Christian being this mean guy who doesnāt believe in love but Stella shows up and makes his world a little brighter and makes him do things he never though he would do. All fun and games, EXCEPT that Christianās ugly ass personality ruined the whole fucking book and I kept either sighing or cringing the whole fucking time I was reading this. Christian was the possessive type who always gets what he wants and because he deemed that Stella was his, the instance he set eyes on her, than no one else could look at her or even think about her, and honestly how dare she have partners before him, she shouldāve saved herself for this man even though she didnāt even know he existed before. And if she was going somewhere and he wanted to go with her? Silly her for thinking she even had a choice, he would go anyway cause he always got what he wanted. Someone get me a gun Iāll kill this man myself, I was so fucking mad the whole book cause of how fucking annoyed this man made me. And donāt even get me started on the fact that he didnāt believe in love cause what his parents had had wasnāt love, it was āa drug they kept chasing because it gave them a high they couldnāt get anywhere elseā, as if those exact feelings didnāt apply to the way he felt about Stella? Bestie thatās called obsession, not love, look it up. Stella though? Thatās my girl right there. She was so sweet and I love how confident she got throughout the story, she deserved so much better.

So does anyone else actively seek out spoilers or is it just me?? For instance, I had a friend who read a book I was interested in - romance with POC main characters that seemed to be a why choose - and I asked them for a full plot rundown because I wanted to be sure it was something I would enjoy and not a case of a book description fishing for reads. I absolutely 100% believe hiding things behind a spoiler tag is something people should be doing to avoid revealing anything to those who've yet to read the book. But with the limited time I have for reading, and a TBR that's already long enough to reach the moon, sometimes I just want to know if the time I invest in a book is going to be worth it to me. Anyway, anyone else do this or something similar??

I'm so glad this is the last book in the series, cause I could not handle another whole ass book with the same freaking formula as the other three, with an mmc with the ugliest personality I've ever seen

Of all the books of this series, Christian seems like the most possessive mmc and I hate it š So sad cause I love Stella but Christian needs to take a chill pill

Considering I had low expectations for this book, the expectations were met cause this was just ok (still better than the first one but not by much). I definitely liked Jules better in this book and I enjoyed reading about her story and her past. I already liked Josh from the previous books and this one didnāt change my opinion about him that much, he became a little too possessive from my liking towards the end, but considering the previous mmcs, I was already kinda expecting it. It was nice to see that they actually hated each other (considering how many āenemies to loversā exist where they hate each other for 5 pages) and that, even after they got together, they still kept that playful rivalry between each other, just a bit sweeter and coming from love. What I hated, though, was the angry makeout/hate sex that they had for basically more than half the book. I guess this is more preference, but I didnāt like those moments at all The story sometimes was boring, sometimes was enjoyable, I honestly donāt have much to say about it.

Hey everyone! We have exactly one month left in the Spring Readalong, which means Summer 2025 Readalong picks have officially dropped. You can see all 5 selections over on the Discuss tab :) We've also squeezed in some web updates between app development: - You can now see the publication year on the Book Page below the description. Some of these dates may be the edition's pub date rather than the original publication year; this is a known data issue so apologies in advance! It will be sorted out as we get more robust book data. - Various bug improvements including preventing double user follows We have more requested feature updates in the pipeline; I'll be back soon when they're released! Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy šš PS - Our community has grown so much over the past few weeks and it has been SO fun to watch everyone connect and interact. Thank you for making Pagebound such an amazing place and welcoming in our new members!!

Iām really not vibing with the whole angry make out/rough sex thing they have going on š I am, however, vibing with how sweet Josh sometimes is towards Jules and always caring for her, considering they still āhateā each other

The flowers blooming, we have longer days, and it's that sweet spot between spring and summer thatās perfect for reading in the sunshine (or curled up inside when it rains). This month, Iām hoping to dive into a bit more fantasy, and maybe a few romances. Iāve got a few anticipated releases on my radar and a couple of long-time TBRs finally getting their turn. So whether you're tackling a reading challenge, mood reading your way through your shelves, or just looking for that one book that hits just right, I hope your May reading brings you stories you love and characters youāll never forget!! š¤ Whatās on your May TBR?
