    never watched iCarly but...

    I enjoyed this memoir a lot, the writing was fantastic and the narration absolutely pulled me in. It didn't matter much that I had not watched the show.

  • Rating A DNF? 👀

    I've seen a few videos on my TikTok fyp discussing rating books you DNF. I haven't ever, especially because I'm only getting 1-2 chapters in sometimes. But, I saw a comment saying being able to get through a book is obviously the objective, so why wouldn't you leave a rating about why you couldn't do that? That got me thinking about it again for the books I do get a decent bit through (I recently got 50% into a DNF). I think Pagebound also provides a unique opportunity to give that feedback in the feed rather than a review. What do you think? Are you rating DNFs? Only rating them if you get to a certain point or if it's THAT bad?

    This book was needed! It fit my mood perfectly! It had me laughing at parts! I love Viola and Cercis. I also love Cercis' parents. I love Dahlia, Mimosa, and Rhotas as well!

  • Books for June

    What book(s) are you most excited to read in June? It doesn't have to be a new release. Maybe it's something you've been wanting to read and are finally getting around to. For me, I can't wait to finish The Hunger Games series. I have Catching Fire on hold for this month and I plan to read the rest next month.

  • Shoujo Manga Recs??

    hey y'all! i've recently been dipping my toes into manga and i'm looking for shoujo recommendations or anything that has a similar vibe to Kamisama Kiss or Ouran High School Host Club. I've already added A Sign of Affection to my list...does anyone have any other recommendations?

  • Do you consider special edition books "art"?

    Was curious what everyone's thoughts on this was. Since getting back into reading I've also been adding books to my personal library. I have also gotten into collecting the beautiful special edition prints of books, especially the broken binding and a few illumicrate editions. I usually display these as art pieces, my broken binding copy of Blood Over Brighthaven and The Devils is currently cover out in front of some paperbacks I have and was curious if others did this as well?

  • PSA: Read Author's Notes

    Author’s notes can offer so much invaluable insight into a book’s heart, giving readers a glimpse into the author’s intentions, inspirations, and even personal connections to the story. They can also often provide context that deepens your understanding of the themes or choices made in the narrative, and sometimes have interesting behind-the-scenes details that enrich the reading experience. So whether it’s a heartfelt dedication, a historical explanation, or a reflection on the writing process, taking the time to read the author’s note can make a story feel even more personal and meaningful. I’d been thinking about this for a while, but my views really solidified after listening to Joe Hill’s author’s note. I loved hearing him reflect on the themes woven throughout his story and his path to becoming a writer, what it was like growing up with authors for parents. He also shared why he values well-narrated audiobooks and how his family used to listen to books together after dinner.

  • When a Plot Twist Wrecks You

    That moment when a book hits you with a twist so wild, you just sit there in stunned silence, trying to process what just happened. What’s the biggest plot twist you’ve ever read?

  • TBR/Want To Read

    I don't know why this thought popped into my head earlier today, but does anyone else use the "Want To Read" feature on Goodreads/Story graph/Fable as their 'official' TBR list or as a place to keep track of books that catch your attention but you don't want to forget the name? For me, I tend to fall into the latter, where if I find a book, but don't want to forget it and am not ready to read it yet.
