Do you like reading in the morning, afternoon, or at night? I like reading at night best💕

"Ma'am, this is Pagebound" I made you look though 👀

Anywho, Are there any authors you have unnecessary beef with? And why?

I'm not talking JKR, Sarah J Maas, or Colleen Hoover. We get why there is beef. No. I want the most random author you have beef with

For me: Jennifer L Armentrout I find the From Blood & Ash series a cash grab, like I have never known a book series where you have to read the prequel to understand future books. And who the heck needs a garlic scented book.... gross

I struggle with mental illnesses and have for as long as I can remember. But especially lately (the past several months) I’ve been struggling to enjoy anything, including things I love, like video games, paint by numbers, etc. Or with books that sound exactly like something I would like but I just can’t seem to get my brain to get into it.

I listened to the Hunger Games trilogy again recently because I know those books are some that I always love and I can rely on that love. But right now I’m really struggling to get into books I was excited about, like We by Yevgeny Zamyatin or the Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri. I really want to read/listen to these and enjoy them but I just can’t seem to connect with them. It’s making me want to focus on re-reads but I also really want to fall in love with new stories.

Anyway, moral of the story- what are some books you can always count on to be enjoyable even when depression or mental illness sucks the joy out of life?

And do any of you have strategies or tricks that you’ve found help you connect back to books and hobbies that you love when struggling with depression?

It is officially thunderstorm season where I am. ⛈️ I’m looking for books that pair perfectly with the sound of tornado sirens and heavy rain against glass. Something atmospheric, US Midwestern, maybe a bit gothic or something where the weather is the villain. Not "cozy rainy day" vibes, but "the sky is turning green and the power might go out" vibes. What’s your go-to stormy vibes book?

what is a video game (or video game series) that you would love to read about (if it were made into a book)?
