    Thoughts from 50%

    God, I love this little girl hahahaha

    She talks so much, has such a vivid imagination, and gets into such mischief!! This is reading like it would be perfect for an episodic animated tv show like The Berenstain Bears or Curious George.

    This is how i felt as a child! Wish I would’ve read this as a young boy.

    ToG - Tandem Read?

    So it's my first time reading the Throne of Glass series. I've read the prequel and the first two books, and I've heard that later on people like to do a tandem read where you read two of the books at the same time.

    Which books are the ones that are tandem read? Would you recommend doing that for a first read of the series?

  • What are your favorite lists?

    As we all know by now, pagebound royalty gets to nominate lists for potential quests. I am having such a hard time because there’s so many amazing lists that users have put a lot of effort into. What are your favorites? I would love to hear some of yalls opinions and recs. I’m sure there’s amazing lists that don’t have much traffic as well.

  • Let’s Create a Review Chain 📚👾

    Let’s play an easy and quick game - Review Chain!

    1️⃣ Post a book in the comments - just the title and author is enough. 2️⃣ Scroll through the books posted and leave a ONE WORD review (keep it spoiler free please) 🤫

    Let’s see how many words can be used to describe each book, and how much they’re alike - or different! Feel free to kindly debate one another’s words!

    Hope everyone is having a good week! 💛

    List of blocked users

    I searched both “block” and “unblock” to try to look for this request and couldn’t find anything.

    I’m wondering if there is a way to view a list of accounts we have blocked. Instagram had this feature within our account settings back when I used it.

    I like to reevaluate blocked accounts every now and then, or do temporary blocks and then unblock the person when I feel ready to see their posts again.

    I just saw “comment unavailable” for this first time in a while and I totally forgot who it was I blocked 🤷🏼‍♀️

    What book would bring you to the bookshop?

    Please be mindful that this post is not marked for spoilers

    Without getting into the details of how one gets to the bookshop, which book would bring you there? What kind of impact has the book had on you? Was it a book from a certain time in your life or one that has stayed with you since you first found it? Do you think you would have said a different book if you had been asked at an earlier time in your life?

    I’ve been pondering these questions throughout my read and haven’t been able to choose my book yet. I’m curious if others instantly knew Their Book or if it’s a bit of a struggle like I’m having.

  • Cookbooks?

    I have really been making an effort recently to reduce my screentime and just rely less on technology overall. I love cooking, but would commonly spend a lot of time watching videos and reading dozens of similar recipies before preparing a meal. These things are still useful, but I would love if anyone has any cookbook or general cooking technique books to recommend. Would love to start a small collection just to have as an irl reference.

    Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of the new edition!

    I really enjoyed this story. The art was beautiful and the thoughts connecting food and home were very sweet. I also loved that we go to see a snapshot of Erik and Hesekiel's relationship.

    The back matter at the end of this volume was a really cool addition. I love that we got to see sign language included along with the details about each kind of tea dragon.
