Hello my big beautiful Boundling brains! It's that time of the week to show off what you learned through your books this week! Whether it's a quick trivia bite, personal insight, or deep dive - we wanna know!!

My tidbit this week - I learned that I might be a fan of sports romances as long as the couple is about 30+ as someone who notoriously hates sports this is a shocking revelation to me haha

What cha got this week, Boundlings??

over the past few months I've been a little obsessed with collecting awful book covers because i find them infinitely amusing. the main culprits tend to be older classics (the public domain is a wild lawless place, apparently), but i've definitely encountered some questionable design choices in the contemporary world as well. so, if you've got any terrible candidates to share, i'd love to add them to my collection! 😌

to start, here are 3 of my personal favourites out of everything I've come across so far:

(the wordsworth classics master and margarita also deserves a shoutout!)

What are moments in books that feel like they are juuust a little too oddly specific and detailed in a way that makes you slightly pause and go “… this gotta be a sex thing” even though on the surface it really isn’t?

Not really just a kink that is supposed to be recognised as such but smth a bit more hidden. Maybe it even seems like the author themself didnt realise that was why they put it in

Common examples that fit this imo are the many, many romance authors who clearly have a patriarchy fetish + the many, many horror authors who have a fetish for having a woman being violated

What are some of your favorite PB features? Can be well known ones, ones you think more people should check out, etc!

Personally, I love the daily emojis, which feels so silly. But I get excited to see what the new emoji is each day and what books and lists go along with it! I feel like I’ve found books and lists that I wouldn’t have found any other way!

Much love and happy reading!

Any one else feel like they’re being bombarded with so much world building and logistics? 😭 Prologue started off strong, but the first chapter is… complex. 🫠
