Recs if you like Every Day I Read: 53 Ways to Get Closer to Books...
Blending Memoirs with Research, Poetry, Culture
Books that are part memoir part another genre: in a way that blends multiple mediums and/or themes in unique and engaging ways. Magical, explosive and memorable narratives expressed with creativity and depth. Books that inspire me to write more.
A Picture of Pagebound
Book titles that illustrate things Pagebound users might do or say, or titles that might describe the app or its users. Recommendations are welcome (this is meant to be fun, please do not suggest titles that are rude or aggressive)!
This list is not a commentary on these books---the focus is purely on the titles!
Books About Books 📚
Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!
The Art of Engaged Reading
Think of this as your reading glow up! These books will teach you to slow down, look closer, and find what authors are hiding underneath a great sentence. The goal isn't to ace an exam - it's to get more out of every book you read, feel more confident in the forums or at book club, and learn to trust your instincts as a reader. One rule: Start with the book that excites you the most, not the one that sounds the most impressive. Your future self, thriving in the forums, will thank you!!

Asian Authors
An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Pretty Privilege: Book Covers
Some gems, some disasters... All selected for the cover. Contents may vary.

I've not read all of these but hopefully will one day. Recommendations are welcome.
