Let’s imagine it’s the end of the world and you have to choose one book to live in for the rest of your life Which one are you choosing and why?

Pagebound has made it so much easier to plan my tbr in the planning feature here. I've just spent hours putting in a bunch a books, and doing the math of how many books i think i can get through in a month. So now i have a detailed plan that i will most likely deviate from quite alot... The impulse control is never present when i come over a pretty book in a bookstore. They have to be read immediately. But i had fun planning my reading year atleast. According to the plan I'm going to struggle to meet my book goal this year, but whatever. Maybe I'll just change it in december.

I really really love Verso books. Almost all of my favourite reads were published by them. But this thought made me curious if other people also have publishers they trust enough to buy blindly from. If so which ones and what about their niche draws you in?

I was thinking about that the other day and I’m actually wondering what book y’all would be interested to see adapted on screen?

What are the books that no matter how much people recommend them, or how much hype there is around them, you're still never going to read? For me, it's anything Brandon Sanderson 🫣

What's your sweet spot when reading books with multiple parts? I feel like my sweet spot is a duology. Trilogies are nice too, but, more often than not I feel like the 2nd book usually lacks something. Series that are longer feel like a big time commitment and keeping track of all the characters and events 😭 (I usually make the joke that I'm Dory from Finding Nemo). I do like long book series, but only when I have the time to actually enjoy it.

For me, it’s when I’m just not enjoying reading—even if the books themselves aren’t bad. I end up moving through them slowly and just don’t feel motivated or eager to pick them up. This month’s reads have actually been great, but I still feel kind of meh.

Lately I've been so obsessed with special edition books, to the point where if I finish a book and I really enjoyed it, I'll immediately be on the lookout for any special editions that are released in the future 😭. I try to only either buy special editions if I can find them really cheap on second hand websites or only buy special editions of books that I reallyyyy liked and find special to me, as much as I'd like to buy special editions of a lot of books, they tend to be quite pricey and I just can't afford it lmao. Do you tend to collect special editions? If so, what's your criteria, like do you buy them cause you found them pretty or you've already read the book and liked it or any other reason?

I'd love to know what is everyone reading I am currently reading Vicious by VE Schwab. I've had this on my TBR for so long, but never found the motivation to pick it up until now. I am enjoying the story as well as the main character. I am also reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, or more like trying to since it has taken me two years to get to page 90 XD i have soft DNFed it thrice now at this point but because i spent a good amount of money on it, I do want to read it.
