Hi! My book bestie’s birthday is coming up and I want to get her some fun book related presents! I have of course thought about getting her some books but I wanted some other ideas. What are some of the best book related presents you received or what is something you bought yourself that you would have loved to receive as a present?! Trying to win all the best friend points. Thanks for the help!! 😊

Hello! I love the suggestions you guys have gave me so far on my other pagebound posts, so here I am again looking for more, but this time specifically girl x girl stories in fantasy. 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

Unfortunately I do not like reading books that are solely romance based, I would prefer if the book had elements of fantasy. Such as wars, kingdoms, fae, knights e.t.c!

The books I have noted down so far are.. • A dark and Drowning Tide (Allison Saft) • The Fireborn Blade (Charlotte Bond) • Holy Wrath (Victoria Mier) • The priory of the orange tree (Samantha Shannon)

I mostly prefer adult fantasy books, however I will also read YA (as long as it isn’t TOO juvenile 🤣)

I am participating in the reading challenge set up by the Reading Glasses podcast, and one of the prompts this year is "Give an author a second chance". The idea is to not immediately write an author off if you did not like one of their books, but to try a different book by them, and maybe discover you like that author after all! So I was wondering: have any of you done this successfully :)? Which author did you try this for, and what were the books that made you think you didn't like the author vs. the ones that made you change your mind?

I am still looking for a book to complete this challenge myself. I am thinking I might be willing to give Sally Rooney another try. I didn't particularly like Normal People, the characters didn't grab me and I do not like the miscommunication trope. Did any of you dislike Normal People but love one of her other books?
