I have a theoretical question for my fellow gamer bookworms. What book would you like to play as a videogame? I've been reading the prequel to The Priory of the Orange Tree, and it made me think... Damn it would be an awesome rpg. If it were something similar to Baldur's Gate 3 or South of Midnight I would pass away. I love to dream about this sometimes haha. I'm curious what y'all would love as a game. ✨

Edit: Someone said your suggestions would make a great list, so here it is! https://pagebound.co/lists/3d0e5355-04e5-4e30-9555-aaf0a55bafdb Thank you for your contribution!:))

What would you consider to be pausing a book? And when do you usually pause/continue?

There's a book I'm currently reading which I'm enjoying, but I'm reading it so slowly I wonder if perhaps it's not the right time for me to read it.

Ok, I hate half naked men on book covers and it can stop me from reading books if I’m not fully invested into the thing. So I wanted to know what is the thing that makes you cringe so much it makes the book a hard pass and you won’t even look at it ?

I’m reading the Game Changers series so I had to ask as I cringe every time I turn my kindle on and see that cover

I'm going abroad for a while and I am looking for cozy/interesting/absorbing books to read for comfort when I feel out of place. I mainly want something that isn't too scary or sad but that still has a story that fully pulls you into the pages. I love romance but I cannot deal well with books where one character is only there to serve as a love interest, so I mostly end up reading queer stories, but if anyone has good het recommendations for page-turner romances I'm open to that as well. Page-turner non-fiction book recs would also be much appreciated!!

i am slightly less confused.

(and how beautifully written is this?)

For those of you who loved this book as much as I did: what other m/m romance would you recommend?

Things I liked about SASM:

• the voice of the main character, who has kind of a lovable-douchey-fop-Bertie Wooster thing going on; like he's not a pure cinnamon roll, he can be a dick, but he's a charming dick
• the writing style
• opposites attracting
• the Id-dy/trope-y nature of the curse
• that there's sort of almost a power exchange thing going on that keeps them equal (Grimm has the iron will to keep from abusing the power he has over Leo, Leo has the brattiness/force of personality to rebel against even the idea of Grimm having power over him)
• it is relatively light but there are still stakes
• that it's sff

Things I am not into:

• first person POV unless it really wowed you (I realize SASM is in first person)
• pregnancy and kids
• omegaverse unless the omega is a villain/major douche
• D/s unless the sub is a villain/major douche
• sports
• shifters unless it really wowed you

Stuff I have liked:

• Think Of England by KJ Charles
• A Thief In The Night, also by KJ Charles

Stuff I'm on the fence about:

• A Rake Of His Own by AJ Lancaster

Thanks in advance!

hi ! can anyone recommend fantasy books that have a "golden retriever" type of mmc :3

most of the fantasy books i've read always have a mmc that is grumpy, have dark aura, with dark brooding eyes— basically a shadow daddy lmfao i just want something different and fresh. i'd love anything as long as it doesn't involve love triangles <3
