Question of the Day!

Ciao Bookaholics!

How is everyone doing?

My question for you all comes from the very history nerdy soul inside of me 😅

What historical event do you think would be a great premise for a book? 🤔

The Underground Railroad

Colson Whitehead

Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhood--where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned--Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted. In Whitehead's ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor--engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city's placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom. Like the protagonist of Gulliver's Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey--hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

Molka

Monika Kim

molka (n): the Korean term for spy cameras secretly and illegally installed, often to capture voyeuristic images and videos Dahye can't believe her luck when she finds herself in a whirlwind romance with handsome, charismatic Hyukjoon, the heir to a multi-million dollar fortune. But then a shocking revelation threatens: the couple has been caught on a spycam amid Korea's growing molka epidemic, and the video is all over the internet. When Hyukjoon flees the country to avoid the intense public scrutiny, Dahye is left to grapple with the ramifications on her own; and the demons from her childhood, long dormant, begin to surface. Amid the chaos, she catches the attention of Junyoung, a nerdy, introverted IT tech at work. Junyoung harbours a dark secret: he has been spying on the women at work with his own hidden cameras. As Dahye's life begins to unravel, she unknowingly becomes the sole target of Junyoung's perverse obsession. When the facts surrounding the invasion of her privacy come to light, Dahye is faced with the humiliating truth. Her pain and hurt turn to rage as she faces her past. Her desire for vengeance is insatiable, and she will not rest until the men who have wronged her have paid in blood...

Favorite Queer Lists

Hey Boundlings! Sorry for another Pride post but I hope this is a little different request. It's sometimes hard to get the keywords just right when searching for lists. So! I want to see all your favorite LGBTQ+ lists! You can shamelessly put your own out there or rec someone else's.

I'm mainly looking for unique themes and less masterlists. Hit me with all those fantastic lists!

Side Note/Question: Where do y'all get your indie ebooks? I have always used Amazon but would like to move away from them if I can.

Project Hail Mary

Andy Weir

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission—and if he fails, humanity and the earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn’t know that. He can’t even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he’s been asleep for a very, very long time. And he’s just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it’s up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery—and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he’s got to do it all alone. Or does he?

2026 Summer Readalong - ✨Sparkle Chasers✨, Cast your Predictions🔮!

Hello PBees!

This past 2026 Spring Readalong, I acquired my first sparkly badge 🙌 I was very surprised to realize that the book I was dreading to read and making me wonder whether I should aim for sparkles or not, was actually my favorite book of the Readalong! It made me appreciate even more how the Readalongs can get you out of your comfort zone in a good way!

So today I want to ask you: What do you think your top for the 2026 Summer would be?

Mine is:

🦁 The Lion Women of Teheran
🐇 The Empress of Salt and Fortune
🌊 A River Enchanted
☀️ The Stranger

You can participate even if you don't plan on aiming for the sparkles! In fact, don't push yourself too much for it, the goal is to enjoy reading first of all! You can also participate if you've already acquired your sparkly badge (you drop that 👑), and mention what you thought it would be vs what it actually was!

If you are into it, I will also offer a debrief at the end of the Readalong to see how you thought it would go vs how it actually went!

PS: Doesn't Sparkle Chaser sound like a My Little Pony name? I couldn't confirm whether it was one 🤔
