    tw: horrible boyfriend, verbally abusive language from story's main character's bf, misogynistic language/actions from side characters, physical altercation. be careful as you start this 3rd story, i'm a little in shock! : (

  • buddy read/recs! just wanna make friends : )

    hi y'all! it's my second week on pagebound, and i would love to make some new bookish friends : ) hopefully i'm in the right place for this!

    about me: -i'm an early twentysomething woman of color -favorite tropes/themes: found family, friends to lovers, invisible string tying together many different characters and it comes together at the end, the author trusts us to deduce things, realistic/bittersweet endings, NEED HAPPY ENDINGS LOL, diverse cast, old people solving mysteries, healing, FOOODDDDD, well-developed characters apart from the mc's, a central place where the cast comes together (like in HP the common rooms)

    here are my favorite genres and books: -queer media of any form, recently into graphic novels! -cozy mysteries, crimes, thrillers -magical realism, translated korean literature -love plot twists, strong women, diverse voices, books where they stay with you a long time

    open to: -sci fi -dystopia -romance -fantasy (but not the ones with a lot of worldbuilding - i just got back into reading and my attention span is not strong enough to remember it all just yet enough to enjoy this genre)

    not that into: -classics -non-poc works -nonfiction -romantasy -spicy books

    i'm open to recs and reading together! all my love to y'all!

  • thai gl like books?

    iโ€™ve posted one too many things asking for book recs recently ๐Ÿ˜ญ this will be the last one for a while; im sorry. anyways, iโ€™m currently in a reading slump, however, have recently gotten into thai gls & am inhaling series after series. are there any books that give the same vibe as any thai gls? something extra gay & heart flutter-y? medium to fast paced and addicting to read? very much a sucker for some romance ๐Ÿคญ

  • โค๏ธ Favorite small thing about reading/books ๐Ÿ“š

    ๐Ÿ“š What is a small thing you love about reading or what you love in books? Something that makes you appreciate it every time? โค๏ธ

    My examples: ๐Ÿ‰ Reading a fantasy book and the swear words are fantastical. For example with my current read: Godsdamn every single one of the pantheonโ€™s shining godly asses ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ“” Finding the perfect bookmark to use whilst starting a new read โ˜บ๏ธ ๐Ÿ“– Finding a new element that you didn't notice before when rereading a book ๐Ÿฅฐ
