I've got a question for you all: Why you show the badges you currently have? (I mean the three on your profile) Like why then and not the others?

I personally hate when they don’t match one of the books in series to the rest of them, like they’ll all have very specific and cohesive cover designs and height and one of the books in the series just has a random cover and they make it taller or shorter, like I don’t understand why they do this?? Any other things you guys hate to see in/on books?

is anyone else still using their storygraph account? i feel funny going back and forth between the two but i love the charts and data that storygraph presents you (guess i'm a nerd)

if you're not still using it, what are you using instead?

Is it too early to start reading Christmas books or not? I have started A Not Quiet Christmas and so far I am enjoying it.. I still have about 3 Fall books to read still

Sometimes I scroll a book site and see a new book coming out, and then I read the author's name and realize I read one of their previous books and hated it. But the new book sounds like it has a really interesting premise. Then I enter a dilemma of whether or not to read the new book even though I disliked their old work.

When are you willing (or not willing) to give an author a second chance? Is your decision at all influenced by the author writing in a new genre or a different age category?

(I searched if anyone has posted something like this, so forgive me if it’s been discussed.)

How do y’all feel about mean reviews?? Personally, I think it’s unnecessary to bash a book/author if it didn’t suit your personal tastes. Like, you can say you didn’t like something without being an a-hole.

Edit: I’d like to clarify I don’t mean negative reviews, I think those are absolutely necessary. What I mean is saying stuff like “you’re stupid if you liked this” or “how did anyone enjoy this” because I think insulting other readers doesn’t foster the judgement free zone we want these apps to have.

There's so much to do in today's world, and plenty of distractions that keep us away from our beloved books. How do you make peace with yourself and your environment long enough to read? Do you have a routine, or a ritual, to settle in with a book? I'm pretty bad at dedicating my free time to reading when there's so much else I could be doing, even if I really want to read.

Hi everyone - excited to announce that Pagebound finally has merch! You can view the selection at https://store.pagebound.co/

We know this has been highly requested, and we wanted to get out a first release in time for the holidays, so what we have now is a limited run of a few items. We do have plans in the future for an expanded store with more product types (stickers of avatars & badges, mugs, etc) and more t-shirt / sweatshirt / hat designs. Let us know your other requests in the comments 😊

This was very fun to create, and we can’t wait to see everyone repping Pagebound--it’s about to be my daily uniform 🙂‍↕️

I've never really been one to buy books, and I much prefer to just borrow from the library since it's a lot less stressful to not have to worry about spending money on a book and ending up not liking it. But one thing is that, every time that I read a book from the library that I end up loving, I always want so bad to buy a copy for myself to keep on my bookshelf. I can never manage to justify actually buying it though since I've already read it and am not much of a re-reader at all... 😅 How about you guys? Do you like to curate your collection with books you already picked up before? 👀

i’ve seen people handle their TBRs in so many different ways. i've seen some people only add the first book in a series, some add every single one, and some only add their next reads. soo i'm curious... how do y'all handle your TBRs? 👀

i've always added every book in a series to my TBR, but since i only tag the first book in my series tags, i’m kinda thinking about only keeping that one on my TBR instead

I am absolutely loving the current quests and I must say they are definitely fattening up my tbr! My question is… do we have any ideas/ hints as to what some future quests are? What are some quests you’d like to see? Particular books you’d want to see in future quests? <3
