  • Reading Tracker Apps

    Hi fellow Pagebounders! I’m wondering how many of you use multiple apps to track your reading.

    For example, I actively use Pagebound, Goodreads, and Storygraph. I formerly used Fable too but stopped due to the bigoted and racist AI issues that came up.

    I’m trying to move away from Goodreads because it’s tied to Amazon but still use it to log reading since that’s where the majority of my friends are active with tracking their reading.

    I use Storygraph primarily for the reading streak but also because it’s useful for looking up trigger/content warnings for books I’m interested in. Storygraph also has the buddy reads, readalong, and book club features which look cool though I’ve barely used them myself.

    I’ve recently become most active on PB because I love the community on here and being able to interact with everyone! I’m really enjoying the way PB is structured and how it continues to develop too!

    I also like seeing the varied stats and wrap-ups on all the different platforms!

    Do you use multiple reading tracker apps and, if so, is there a difference in how/why you use each? What makes you continue using more than one?

    Thanks in advance for your responses and sorry for the long post! I’m just curious to know 😊 💭💜

  • Barnes and Noble!!!

    I just found out a Barnes and Noble is opening literally across the street from me soon!!!

    It is good I have started to really use my library lately, because otherwise, my wallet would be STRUGGLING.

    Anastasia is starting to get way better for me. I disliked her for part of the book. I'm glad I'm back to liking her. The only thing I don't like about Nate is that he drives a Tesla. I dislike Tesla's so much.

  • Respect Authors: Don’t Pirate Books

    An Apology: I apologize for the inaccessibility of these resources to folks outside of the US, and for failing to think internationally in this space today.

    Update: I fucking hate that knowledge isn’t free. I hate that we live in a system where joy and knowledge often have a price tag. My point in posting was to point out that authors and artists suffer because of this. Most authors aren’t wealthy, and not compensating them affects their livelihood.

    Authors should receive compensation for their books as long as this capitalist hellscape exists, and consent is important.

    If money is a barrier, take these steps:

    Utilize your local library (you can always request that they add a book to their collection—this is good for authors).

    If your library won’t add a copy or you need the book immediately, get a non-resident library card at a library with the book.

    There are online non-profit libraries where you can apply for cards.

    Borrow a copy from a friend or community member.

    Apply for a review copy.

    There are so many options that respect authors.
