    Though not a quick exodus, because you know that getting out of a garden chair at our age is a military operation. the humour in this book is good fun

    it’s quite sad that everyone in the village has some constant form of grief in their lives - absent children, loneliness, dementia, being widowed, the decline of their own health

  • Thoughts on Pagebound so far

    I have been on Pagebound for a few months now and I genuinely think that Pagebound is such a wonderful idea come to fruition. I’ve been using other bookish apps for years and never felt inclined to post written reviews when I’m done with the books (I feel too intimidated sometimes especially when I feel differently about the books and the book community can be harsh 😰). But on Pagebound, the no pressure ability to post my thoughts at random intervals throughout the book helped me develop the confidence to post reviews on the books I finished reading as well and I’m starting to find joy in that. I’m glad I stumbled upon this site. It’s been magnificent and the community is amazing. Thank you so much!! ☺️

    And you’d think, given that she works in IT, she could have googled “Botox.” She must be fifty, Ian thinks, same age as him. […] Ian is on a lot of dating apps, and sets a strict upper age limit of twenty-five. throw the whole man AWAYYY

    There are readers who hate 3rd person POV? 😳

    I just read a review of a book I'm so excited about and the person actually DNFd it bc its in 3rd person... There's this one line review that said "third person dnf" 😬 And I've seen a lot of reels and threads about how 3rd pov is difficult to understand for some readers. Which is totally valid bc if it's difficult then it ok to avoid or dnf it but saying one is superior than the other is not ok though!!! And then there's someone on threads who has posted this stats about how 86% of all the books that's sold last month are all in 1st person!!!! 😵 Please tell me about your preferences and recommend some of your favourite fantasy/romance books in 3rd person POV
