I think this could be a very fun game! In the comments, let us know where you are (you can be as general as Country or as specific as which City/Town if you want) and recommend a book set in your location.
I'll go first - I'm in Victoria, the capital city of BC, Canada, and I recommend Smut by Karina Halle. Bonus points if you've ever listened to some of the spicier scenes while on BC Transit, or used to study in the library where a memorable scene takes place.
All genres welcome, as long as the book takes place in the geographical region you've decided to highlight!

An introduction to the Classics, these books are part of the cultural zeitgeist or the 'canon' that many would recognize. Look for more niche titles in later Starter Pack volumes.

Change a single word in a book title to ruin it/make it silly. Let see what funny ones there are!!
Some great examples ive seen (not mine)
Its been a tough week at work, so I thought this would cheer me up (and maybe someone else who is having a tough go today or recently).

So back in the day, they'd sell blu-ray/dvd combos along with a digital copy. I think they still sell the blu-ray and digital copy combo. As far as I can tell, that's not really a thing for books unless you're specifically buying like a collector's edition. I think that should be more of a thing! You get the paperback/hardcover, and there's an insert or a link in the front which grants you an ebook. They could be like the $5-$10 more expensive to cover the typical cost of the ebook, but that way you get the ebook and physical copy all in one go.
Perhaps there's not a huge market for something like this? Let's say it's $5 more, would this be something you'd buy vs just buying a regular physical copy?

Without doxing yourself plzzz
Some of you are reading so much with full time jobs😭 I gotta know what y’all do and how many hours you’re doing it. I know a few people are lucky enough to get to read on the job! That’s the dream.

BiblionautBea97 commented on bookforthought's review of Tatà
As with previous Valérie Perrin books I read, Tatà starts off strongly, certainly aided by the intriguing premise, the interesting characters, and the author’s captivating style. By the end though, there are just a few too many plot lines and twists that feel like pure shock value, and the story gets too convoluted. I still enjoyed reading it, but couldn’t help feeling annoyed by this (just as I had felt reading Three). Shame, because this could have been a truly fantastic book if only it had ended slightly earlier and hadn’t tried to tackle every theme under the sun in one novel.

I came on Pagebound to keep up with my new reading goals. But the thing is, i have way too much hobbies and only two hands. It's a real problem, as a person who really doesn't enjoy audio books, how am I supposed to read AND knit at the same time ??? Like I started a very cool and ambitious rabbit balaclava (yay) and I'm knitting all the time cause I really wanna get it finished soon, but it's soooo frustrating for me that i'm not able to read at the same time ! And i'm not talking about gaming, gardening, going out for exhibits ... Surely i'm not the only one ??? What are your hobbies and how do you keep up with everything ?
