Today's question from your local badge gremlin...

Do you have a Pagebound Badge you are currently reading towards? Or is there a badge design you really like that you really like the design off. But not the genre?

I just started Razorblade Tears for the Spring Reading Challenge. I'm hoping for the pretty sparkly 🦋.

I really like the Russian Lit 101 and Flights of Fire badges. But neither of the topics appeal to me.

If you have a book you’d like to recommend for this quest, please share it in this thread. Keeping suggestions in one place helps me track them more easily.

This quest is centered on dragon riding, so recommendations should fit that theme. I’ll update the quest over time and won’t be able to include everything, but all suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

I also want to note that books will only be the first in a series.

Thank you for taking part!

With SJM going on Call Her Daddy tomorrow night (basically confirmed with the reel) do y'all think we're getting a title reveal, a release date, something vague like fall of 2026? Do you think it will even be in 2026?

Haven't been this hyped in a while but I'm read, and it'll give me an excuse to finally read CC 😂

I hate AI in general and AI reviews in particular. Not only are they useless to a reader, their production probably consumes a lot of water. Shame Goodreads and Netgalley do nothing to catch them. Page bound's anti-AI stance is why I joined in the first place. That and pretty badges lol.

To the point. While browsing discover tab I've found at least 3 profiles with people whose reviews sound like AI. (Writing a lot without saying anything of note, It's not A or B it's C, a lot of sophisticate words that aren't used anywhere else in their profile) At least two of them where native speakers so it's not language barrier case. All three are real people so idk what happened here. I am not naming them because I am not certain they asked AI to write reviews for them and I don't want to encourage bullying . Maybe they bounced their ideas of AI, asked AI to correct their review which sounds marginally better. I am not sure how many of them there are. I found it odd to say the least to find them on Pagebound of all places.

Did you find anything similar? I hope it's not me being paranoid lol.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with the quest title? The way it frames non-english speaking countries as the 'other' (from beyond) and english speaking countries as the standard?

I know that this app can be very US-centric at times but I feel that this particular time it crosses a subtle but important line.

I was wondering... 🤔 What are some of the worst movie or tv show adaptations that made your favorite books dirty?
