I am reading Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined and i was wondering if there are other books that have a similar love story/development of their relationship, I don’t care if the story is about vampires, i am just interested in the romance but I prefer a fantasy background if possible

For example, if the book pick was “Two Wheels Good” by Jody Rosen, !bicycles could be invited to participate. Seems to be a great way to encourage more people to...

I recently discovered Bookwyrm and am really liking it.

Something that it is missing Vs either The Storygraph or Goodreads at the moment is volume of reviews (ie....

Just finished The Long Earth series by Sir Terry Pratchett and Steven Baxter. I’m a huge Pratchett fan and these were my first Baxter novels. It pains me to say it, but it was kind of awful…...
