hi friends! i remember seeing a post recently about how different readers visualize books while reading, and it got me thinking.

i'm pretty sure i fall into the category of those with aphantasia, as i have an extremely difficult time visualizing things in my mind as i read. i get the gist of what an author is describing, but i don't SEE it. i just have the idea/concept of it!

i'm wondering for those who of you who have the same "issue" if you will, are there any books in particular that you feel did a great job in being descriptive, making it easier to "picture" or immerse yourself? (could be the author wrote beautifully about the environment, or maybe described scents or textures so well you felt it was REAL.)

and if you're the opposite and have hyperphantasia, what are some books that really made you feel as though you had a picture book in your hands rather than pages full of words?

The title may give away that I’ve been recently dnf’ing a lot of books (some I didn’t log here lol) due many reasons, some are: uni- I don’t like the mc- the narrator is… hmm - HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE - what a problematic romance - even though I read most of the book I actually don’t care - dude can we get a change of scenery, why are you still describing this dude being on bed (petty reason ik, also a point for who know this book) etc… So I got curious, how many books have you guys already dnf’ed this year, and what are some of the reasons 👀?

hey everyone! happy wednesday!! 🫶🏼 i’ve recently been on a cooking kick! i recently made a pickle pico de gallo 🥒🌶️🧅 (🤤🤤) and it’s sooooo bomb. i love trying out new recipes and sharing them with my friends and family and waiting anxiously for their opinions once they’ve tried it!!! 👨🏼‍🍳 i know obviously here on pagebound one of our favorite inspirations is our books! soooo i was wondering if anyone has any book-inspired recipes they have tried/want to try? what book is it from and what food or drink did you try?? was it good or what you expected??

Happy Wednesday, Boundlings! 💜

I feel like society always focuses on the big wins, the all out effort, the productivity.

I want to hear your small wins, the ones that would go unnoticed as a win if you didn’t mention them.

Did you get out of bed this morning? Have the perfect amount of creamer left for you coffee? Did a stray cat meow at you and made you feel warm and fuzzy?

These are all wins! I want to hear your micro wins for the week! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello all! I wanted to ask somerhing: how do yall read your intimate scenes? Idk how old everyone is on here so I want to be respectful). I used to do audiobooks but they’re just…too graphic. I’d rather eyeball read those scenes so I can imagine whatever I want. This could be because I’m ace. Anyways, how do yall prefer to consume these scenes?
