Hi Boundlings!

I know there are lots of olders like me here who won’t need this explained, but for the youths, back in the days of dial-up internet, we would sit on our desktop computer in the living room on AOL Instant Messenger. If you needed to get up for any reason, you could just sign off (cue door slam sound effect), or, if you really wanted attention like moi, you could leave a super angsty away message that tells everyone how you really feel while also being vague AF (the precursor to the already historical phenomenon known as “vaguebooking”). Usually this away message was song lyrics and/or quotes from cultural touchpoints such as The Office and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I think quotes from books could work, too.

I was thinking… maybe we could leave away messages here, and recommend books to each other based on tHe ViBeZ?

Mine’s in the comments 😘

I got to sing (scream) along to this song with Ms. Hayley Williams back in May and it was the best night ever, but… that 37th bday is fast approaching so I was thinking to myself, my opportunities to use these lyrics are dwindling 😂

I am in the process of switching all of my reading notes over to Obsidian and it's giving me a great opportunity to refresh my reading notes template! It got me curious - for those of you who like to keep a reading journal or track info/data about the books you read - what all do you like to track? Or what do you wish you would have tracked?

So, I literally just found out about the “search by emoji” feature like two days ago 😅 (I rarely use the website), and now it’s been added to the app in the new update, so needless to say, I am very excited!!

So I thought this could be fun: Share your favourite emoji and a book that you associated with it! And people can suggest a favourite book, that they in turn associate with this particular emoji too!

Looking forward to the emoji madness 🥳

One of the greatest aspects (imo) of Pagebound is user created lists. The possibilities are endless and really highlights the creativity of this community.

That being said, I thought it would be nice to give a little extra love to lists!

Share your favorite list (or lists) in the comments.

✨ bonus points if you provide a link to the list ✨ bonus bonus points if the list you share has less than 50 upvotes! - let’s show some extra love to some lists with less traffic!

I hope this post will help connect even one person to a range of books they may have otherwise not found, or inspire someone to try out a new genre 💜
