Anyone else on CET or UTC who wakes up on 200+ post threads and feels they've missed out on the good fun?
WELL THIS IS OUR TIME NOW MUAHAHAHAH π
Good morning! How's everybody? Whatcha reading?
I've just finished reading Animal Farm on my daily train commute to work, and plan on reading Remarkably Bright Creatures next. I started work about an hour ago and should get back to it. π¬
Have a lovely day!
And I'm a bit overwhelmed π
Before I joined Pagebound I knew I wanted to get back to reading but didn't know where to start if that makes sense... I could doomscroll through Amazon reviews searching for my next read, without actually being interested in anything.
Then I discovered this great community, and now I have book recs for the next 5 years at least, and my Interested list is getting bigger by the minute, and WHEN AM I GONNA READ ALL THAT??
Anyway. Thanks Pagebound. ππ»π
I know it's pretty specific π My 10yr daughter is very advanced in English so her teacher allows her to read a book during her English class (they're learning very basic stuff).
So I'm looking for recs of books for children or preteen, not too hard to read for a non-native English speaker, but not too childish either?
If that helps, she loves stories with animals or mischievous kids π Maybe with a bit of fantasy? And she looooves everything Star Wars related! π
Thanks!

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)
George R.R. Martin
Do I have three other books halfway finished? Yeah. Did I get the urge at 11pm to reread this for a third time and annotate it instead? Hell yeah. π

There's also a Swiss library that offers access to its ebooks and audio books through Libby, for a yearly fee. On the registration form you can choose your country so I assume it's not just for swiss citizens. Their English catalogue is really decent. Not sure if I can post the link here, but if you search for "Kornhausbibliotheken ebooks for you" you should find it. π«‘

That I remember:
Lord of the Rings Where the Crawdads Sing Project Hail Mary The Will of the Many Remarkably Bright Creatures
So there was a post today asking if books make you cry? It was a great question and I loved reading all the answers! My follow up question is: what is the last book that made you cry? For me it was The hail Mary project and Before the coffee gets cold! Both completely different books that made me cry first completely different reasons! Alo highly reccomend them both!
