quests_and_magic_pls commented on MadHoney's review of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde, #1)
I liked this story so much more than I thought I would. I was a little iffy the first 20% but once creepy little Poe showed up I was sold. The banter in this story was great, they could tease each other but it didn’t seem mean. I also really liked the inclusion of the fairy stories, it really made it feel like she knew her field. I am looking forward to picking up the next book, I just need to figure out when I can fit it into my plan.
Format: Audio + eBook

So long story short, I saw a movie last night that we thought could have been based on a book (it was not), but it got me thinking about movies based on books. Particularly ones that I wish would just be remade, or had something changed, and I wanted to see what others thought.
For me, I really wish The Giver were just remade. And I somewhat feel the same about The Hobbit, not because The Hobbit was bad, but I would like to see what they did with it if they left it as one movie and put the attention to detail in it that they did with the LOTR series.
For just changing some things, I wish there were some changes to the A Discovery of Witches series, mostly in the last season. However, the last season was filmed during COVID, and some of the changes made sense due to the restrictions. I just kind of wish it could be remade without said restrictions, as some scenes would have just been so nice if more characters were there or they had a bit more freedom in how they went about it 😅
What do you all think? Any adaptations you just want redone, or specific things you wish could be changed?

I am over the moon to share that the app is officially live on both iOS and Android!!
We've quite literally poured our blood, sweat and (lots of) tears into the app development over the past 9 months and we could not be more thrilled for everyone to experience it!
We're still being indexed in app store search so you may have to scroll to find us, or type in Pagebound: Social Book Tracker. Here's links to iOS and Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pagebound-social-book-tracker/id6751526412 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.pagebound.app
There are quite a few improvements and new features in the app, including:
This is the first release, so there will be many more additions and improvements to come. (PS for Android users: we're aware of two bugs related to library imports from Goodreads/Storygraph, and issues with editing read dates - these have already been resolved and are pending Google approval for release.)
We owe a huge thank you to our beta testers who worked diligently over the last month to report hundreds of bugs and help us get the app prepared for release. A huge round of applause to them.
We hope you love the app as much as we do; it definitely makes engaging on PB so much more convenient and fun. If you have a great experience with the app, we'd love if you'd consider supporting us through Pagebound Royalty; Lucy and I have worked for $0 over the past year to bring the app and website to fruition, and have been covering business costs with our savings accounts. Your contribution means we can continue to work full-time on Pagebound without influence from investors or advertisers, and keep Pagebound 100% for readers by readers. Thank you so much to all the Royalty who have already contributed; it truly means the world to us and keeps Pagebound online!
ok now go download the app and tell us what you think!
Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy
PS - leaving us a review in app stores also helps tremendously :)

Have you ever read a meal/food description that sounded so nice you had to go look for a recipe and make it?
I love cooking/baking, and I'm always salivating when reading good food description. Most of the time, it's got ingredients I don't have on hand, but I remember coming across the yummiest description of a baked apple. It's so simple it's silly, but I'd never eaten one before. It was mid-winter, and we had plenty apples at home, so I put down my book, looked up a recipe, and baked a batch of apples immediately. Not only was it delicious (and a great winter dessert), it was so fun to get back to my chapter while eating what was described! 4D experience, highly recommend😊
