  • What popular staright romance would you recommend to a gay woman?

    So, I am very gay, and also wanna read more sapphic lit, however lgbt books are kind of hard to get here in Hungary, as the stores only sell them if they are exremely popular. And then they are still usually foiled down, and I am not sure that I can get them by myself due to being underage. That being said, I will order quite a lot of wlw books online for christmas, but those only deliver in like a month. So, up until that, I need straight romance that is 1, popular enought to be translated to smaller languages, 2, bearable to be read by a woman, who is primarily into femininity. I have really enjoyed Book Lovers by Emily Henry, if that helps. Nothing super dark pls!! Thank you in advance!!

  • Bookish Playlist 2025

    Every year I make a book playlist for the books I enjoyed. Since now I have pagebound I thought why not share it? So this is it! I haven't included the raven cycle series yet because I haven't finished it yet ( or it hasn't finished me yet...) and I think it deserves a post on it own!

  • Looking for Hades and Persephone books

    Hey! I'm a big fan of Hades and Persephone, their dynamic and the many romance novels that are based on them. I've read a few but I always feel like I need more, so if you have any recommendation with a love story based on them or about them, I'd be more than grateful 🥹

  • First one to post in a book forum

    How do you guys feel when you're reading the book and you're the first one to post in a forum about it? Do you get discuraged by it or excited that you're the first? I myself just feel lonely😅 i still post in hopes of more people reading the book and joining the conversation🙈 Also do you often find books with 0 forum posts?

  • Book recommendation help!

    My daughter is forever seeking books that probably fall in the psychological suspense/thriller category. She said “I want a mystery that you think there is NO logical explanation for, like you start to think it is a supernatural or something, but then somehow a perfectly realistic explanation explains everything.” She did provide an example book for me to search by. I checked the recs associated with it and the lists it was on, but the majority don’t seem to fall in that particular plot type. (I haven not included the example book because it would be somewhat of a spoiler to know the plot twist if you haven’t already read it) Any suggestions or lists would be greatly appreciated!
