For 2026 my goal is to read every single day even if it’s just one chapter. I’m trying to move away from my habit of binge reading multiple books in a week which consequently leads to having long reading slumps. Anyways, I’m looking for any tips to keep myself motivated to keep moving toward my goal without getting burnt out! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I am so, so excited to finally share with you a little (unofficial) PB-related something I’ve been slowly working on for the past couple of weeks. And by slowly, I mean it took me… oh, I don’t know, maybe 20 hours total to do? Maybe more?

When I was scrolling through quests a little bit ago, I began to notice a pattern of certain books showing up multiple times. Which got me thinking: what percent of books show up in more than one quest? Which books are in the most quests? The one I was most intrigued about was What quest combinations show up the most?

The answers? 13.7%, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, Interview with the Vampire, Dune, and What Moves the Dead. The third is actually a tie at 13, between Epic Sci-Fi and Fantasy Series & Iconic Series, and Fantasy and Sci-Fi with a Side of Romance & Iconic Series. This didn’t really surprise me, since I was noticing a lot of overlap between these categories when I was clicking through making this.

What’s this, you may ask? Well, I’m a bit of a data nerd. I’m also a bit of a Google Sheets nerd (it can do more than it looks, okay!) This is the Unofficial Pagebound Quest Tracker, made up of over 2,000 books, 77 different quests (and counting!), and endless possibilities to maximize your quest output :) You can search the quest you’re working on to see what else is available, search for a specific book to see which quests it’s in/if any of the categories interest you, and—if you’re like me and you like a free-for-all—the number of quests is sorted from greatest to least to easily see which books have the most quests!

Just to reiterate, this is completely unofficial and just a silly little side project made by a silly little bored woman who really, really loves it here on Pagebound. Hence, there are probably some imperfections here or there, so if you spot something off, please please please let me know and I will fix it ASAP! I will be updating this sheet every Monday with any new additions, unless they turn out to update less than I'm expecting, in which case it’ll probably end up being once a month.

Whether you’re like me and you’re a total stats nerd, or just curious about which books Contributors seem to love adding to their quests (no shade! I'm loving the overlap as a badge girlie) I hope this ends up being an incredible and useful tool for you!

A little P.S: If the font isn’t readable, if the spacing looks weird, if you have any feedback of that sort, then please do say so and I will try to find something that works for everyone!

On that note, if you have any suggestions about something new to add, also say something and I will see if it is something that can be done! I was thinking about making a personal quest tracker for badge levels and such, which should be a bit easier now that I’ve gotten all of the titles and quests down, but it might be a bit before I feel up to undertaking another project like that again 😭

tl;dr: I made a massive unofficial quest tracker so you can maximize badges with minimal suffering hehe

Much love to all my beautiful, wonderful, Pagebound family, Courtney 💓

Victoria Aveyard's Red Queen has been so important to me when I was younger, and I know it's flawed but I loved what she did, the topics she tried to tackle and how she did it. So since she announced that she was working on her first adult book inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean, I've been jumping at the walls with impatience. Today she announced officially that Tempest is coming out September 8th, there's an official synopsis, AND IT'S A DUOLOGY.

Somebody please gush with me over it I'm begging.

i am currently reading “this is how you lose the time war” by amal el-mohtar and max gladstone. and i am really liking it so far.

i was curious on the fact that there was two writers and i wanted to see how that worked so i did some googling and i came across this on wikipedia:

“Red's letters were written entirely by Gladstone, and Blue's by El-Mohtar. Although they wrote a general outline beforehand, "the reactions of each character were developed with a genuine element of surprise on receiving each letter, and the scenes accompanying [the letters] were written using that emotional response".”

i absolutely loved this! so do you know of any other books that are written with an “unconventional” process if that makes sense? or even written in an “unconventional” way?

"Dark doings," Ingold added The way he pronounced 'dark' as 'dahhhk' was so pure that I had an involuntary urge to snatch up the teapot and find a harbor to dump it in. made me cackle, that's so hilarious lmaooo 😆😆😆

Hi!!! Second forum of the year :) I want to know, do you guys review books you DNF? Do you assign star ratings? I’ve seen a few people say they don’t and a few say they do, and I’d like to open a conversation about it!

I’ll start! I usually do review my DNFs and leave star ratings because I want to share the REASON I DNFed. For me, it’s not a review of the entire book, but rather a review of my experience up until the part where I stopped. I can understand the perspective that it doesn’t make logical sense to review something you didn’t finish. I personally think it’s okay to leave a review/star rating based on the experience you had that CAUSED the DNF.

Looking forward to reading some responses! ⭐️

Hi all,

I tried commenting on a forum post to ask, but no luck so far.

Does anyone have strong feelings about reading the prequel to Priory of the Orange tree before reading book 1 even though it was published later?

Hi guys! I joined pagebound a couple of days ago and I really love it! I’m the only one of my friends who has an ereader so I can’t really talk to anyone about this; therefore this post. I buy almost all of my books physical and as an ebook, but sometimes I can’t shake the feeling of feeling guilty while reading a book completely on my e-reader if I have the physical copy. I don’t really know where the feeling comes from but sometimes I think ‘Ah what a shame I didn’t touch the physical copy…’ I do think that collecting books and reading them are two different hobbies, but I was wondering if anyone else ever had that feeling, or what your e-reader/physical copy ratio is? :)

please leave your favorite lit fic in the comments below :) i'd be happy to check them out.
