Bound And Unbound
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Where did you do most of your reading for this one, and did you end up staying up later than you meant to?
Which of the two novellas pulled you in faster, and what was the moment you felt yourself settle in and relax into it?
Both stories start with two people who have every reason to keep their guard up. What did it feel like watching that guard come down, and was there a small moment that made you sigh out loud?
Secrets sit at the center of these pairings. When someone in your own life finally told you the thing they had been holding back, did it feel like these books describe it, or was it gentler, or messier?
Hazelwood writes bickering that is really affection in disguise. Who in your life do you talk to that way, and did reading it make you miss them a little?
Paranormal romance lets characters be openly inhuman and still be loved for it. Did any part of that feel comforting to you, like the book was being kind about the parts of people that do not fit?
Vengeance is one of the forces that brings these pairs together. Did carrying that much old hurt feel exhausting to you as a reader, and did you find yourself quietly hoping someone would set it down?
Novellas ask you to fall for people fast. Thinking back across both stories without giving anything away, what did you most want for these characters, and did the book leave you feeling warm, wistful, or a little of both?
