  • Why Did I Buy More Journals??

    Fellow Boundlings, I went into a bookstore yesterday and walked out with not only a book but two pristine journals that are just waiting to be written in. The problem? I have more than a handful of pristine journals at home that are waiting to be written in, including a Hobonichi journal with a cute cat graphic on the front.

    I write in journals quite a bit, from my Icelandic lessons to various scribblings or stories. But even when I have new ones sitting in a drawer at home I feel compelled to buy more when I see them in the store. What kind of sorcery do journal makers employ and what kind of deal did they have to make with nefarious entities to get me to do this!?

  • If your reading taste was a 3-word mood board ✨🍒

    I’m currently wrapped in a silken cocoon of:

    • Rainy Forests • Folklore • Politics 🌂🌳

    Which are yours

    I’m sure a lot of us we’ll find new books to add in our ever-increasing TBR! 🙈

  • Dark romance… but make falling in love a travel within the soul?

    Hi everybody! I am craving a specific type of dark romance book, but seems like I can't find it on my own. I would love a heroin who is strong and fierce and craves freedom and a villain who works on his own ethics but would tear the world apart for loved ones. They are sort of yin/yang and it turns out they have the same core values, just written in different fonts. Their love is like exploring a universe they had inside but they never knew about. Consense is key and also good writing and character development. Does a book like this even exist?! Help!

  • Short book recs

    Can you recommend me a good short book? I like high fantasy, romantasy, thriller and romance. I don’t like scary books, dark romance and non fiction. 🤗

    Do you have any books/sagas that you would recommend that have a similar vibe to Game of thrones? ☺️

  • Bookshelves

    I know there's been the question of " how do you sort your bookshelves? "but

    Who's the most author on yours? An author you have many of ? An author you will never black list ? Do you have more male , female, or nonbinary authors on your shelf?

    I have many , all female, because I haven't had a male author on my shelf since 2023 ( Rick Riordan ) .

    Emily Rath, Becka Mack, Bal Khabra, and B.K are the ones I have the most books of . I started getting some Ali HazelWood on there, but only 2 .
