I was encouraged by a fellow Pagebounder (boundling?) to seek the help of you all in my search for two books that I cannot find the titles for. I read them YEARS ago and only remember some details, but maybe there's a super sleuth amongst you 😂 Not getting my hopes up though because I've done Internet deep dives with no success. So I'll just list the details I do remember for each book (which are completely unrelated books)
Book 1: -Middle-grade, YA novel -Cover was a chartreuse/greenish-yellow color with some painted picture of 2 people on a wooden boat on a river -Title contained maybe one or more of the words "rain," "forest," "river," "dream," or "jungle" -The FMC was a Native girl with deformed feet, specifically webbing between her toes, I think she was [nick]named Duck -The MMC was a white boy (American or British possibly) who went into the jungle/rainforest as part of a military(?) mission, met "Duck," and then set out to find her a doctor to fix her feet because it made it hard for her to walk
Book 2: -Also a middle-grade, YA novel -The MMC and FMC are a young brother and sister, the sister slightly older -The little brother had this inability to identify faces, including his sister's, unless there was a very identifiable characteristic to tell a person apart (I think the sister dyed one strand of hair different color so she would stand out to her brother) -Took place in some kind of coastal community -Book cover was blue and potentially had some oceanic imagery/illustrations on it -Amelia Earhart was a character that was mysteriously introduced later and her plane, Canary, was referenced I think
Some of this may be inaccurate considering I'm pulling these recollections from the depths of my mind lol. Any help or resources is/are appreciated. I would love to be able to find these books again 🥹

What’s your Roman Empire? Something bookish that lives rent free in your brain and is your go to conversation starter.
Why has it stuck with you?

Whats your opinion on DNFing a book? 🤔

Hey, so yeah, I am reading a collection of five novellas/novellettes/short stories (I don't know the terminology, but they are around 60 pages). Do you log and review them as separate stories, or finish the entire book and review the wholw thing? Also, if you do it the first way how do you log them so it counts as 5 stories instead of 1? Obviously I am not planning on "cheating" on my book goals, but I have already logged White Nights and I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream as they were, even though they are 50 and 12 pages respectively. I genuinelly have no idea how to do this🥲

Today's question is inspired by the Razorblade Tears forum.
What is most important to you in a book? Writing (prose), characters, plot, something else? A mix of various things?
Razorblade Tears has some of the worst writing, specifically the worst similes, known to writing. It is largely disliked because of this, reasonably so. But I enjoyed it because my enjoyment in books is through the characters and, to a lesser degree, the plot. I can excuse a multitude of writing sins if I can understand them. In this case, Bobby Lee has a 9th-grade education and a prison experience.

It's almost the end of March, I was curious what people have read that they loved, and what they loved about it.
