    Should we read Neil Gaiman?

    I'm posting this because it was in the cozy fantasy quest. The rest of the books are great. But should we be reading Neil Gaiman at the moment? I mean like maybe wait till he's ☠☠☠

  • What I love about PageBound the most

    Apart from the obvious things like being Anti AI and women owned and women run, the thing I love about PageBound the most is how I don't feel the need or the pressure to constantly being here and build an online presence because I want my silly little thoughts to be heard. This community has been built in such a way that it's asking people to take a step back and breathe and write and post with authenticity. I love not having to worry about algorithms or likes or follows. I love that I can come here whenever I feel like it and leave whenever I feel like it without it negatively impacting anything.

  • fantasy readers, tell me about the best worldbuilding you’ve ever read

    i’m new to fantasy and with the few books I’ve recently read, I’ve realised I love descriptive worldbuilding that feels lived in, not just a list of names and places. what book made you think this world is real? share the title and tell me why it worked rather than just dropping a name.

    bonus if it is friendly to a newer reader who likes atmosphere without a 50 page prologue. 📚✹

  • Reading Slump Recs

    Hi! I'm in a reading slump and I don't know how to get out of it.

    I'm here to ask for some recs to, hopefully, get me out of this slump. I love romance books with queer themes and not with queer themes. I'm a romance fan in general. I love fantasy too!

    I'm open to anything and I will be willing to try them out! I will even put my thoughts on this app.

    I'm new to this. 😅

    Thank you!

  • Book trackers

    SIGH. Hello all! I am slightly annoyed. I like to track how much time I spend reading, however any nice tracker I find has either a reading session or a books added limit and it’s kind of bumming me out.

    I’ve tried Bookmory, but the idea of not having it synced to the Cloud makes me a little anxious. So here I am! Any recommendations for free book trackers that offer timed sessions? Thank you 😇💓

  • Do we still lend books? đŸ„”

    Hey, page-turners đŸ€— So, I used to lend out my physical books without even a second thought (now I only read ebooks and audiobooks, which means I don't have that problem anymore). But, man, not everyone’s in a rush to give them back, are they?

    There was this one time I bought an absolutely beautiful art book when I was at the Louvre (felt super fancy, not gonna lie), and I let a friend borrow it. He loved art as much as I did, or so I thought. Yeah, that book never made its way back to me. The worst part? I barely even got to look through it myself. Ugh, talk about regret. đŸ€Šâ€â™‚ïž

    What about you? Are you cool with lending your books out, or do you kind of feel like you’re just saying goodbye forever? 📖😊

    3.0
    Enjoyment: 3.0Quality: 2.5Characters: 3.5Plot: 3.0

    Honestly, I feel like if the author used the pacing well, the book would have been much better. The reveals were too quick in some places and the places that should have been quicker were dragged out. The dialogues were kind of robotic as well. I couldn't immerse as well. But I think it's okay since it's a debut novel. Except this does not make me want to pick up the second book.

    Thoughts from 93% (page 403)

    I'm about to finish this book and oh boy. You can tell it's the author's debut novel. The pacing is all over the place and characters are so underdeveloped. It's not bad per se. It just needs more work

  • The App is live!!

    I am over the moon to share that the app is officially live on both iOS and Android!!

    We've quite literally poured our blood, sweat and (lots of) tears into the app development over the past 9 months and we could not be more thrilled for everyone to experience it!

    We're still being indexed in app store search so you may have to scroll to find us, or type in Pagebound: Social Book Tracker. Here's links to iOS and Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pagebound-social-book-tracker/id6751526412 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.pagebound.app

    There are quite a few improvements and new features in the app, including:

    • Book Journeys (click the map icon on the book cards in your library and other user's library to see their posts, comments, and updates for a specific book)
    • Quick access to "add to plan"
    • Filtering your activity on profile
    • Save posts
    • upgraded Read Dates editing

    This is the first release, so there will be many more additions and improvements to come. (PS for Android users: we're aware of two bugs related to library imports from Goodreads/Storygraph, and issues with editing read dates - these have already been resolved and are pending Google approval for release.)

    We owe a huge thank you to our beta testers who worked diligently over the last month to report hundreds of bugs and help us get the app prepared for release. A huge round of applause to them.

    We hope you love the app as much as we do; it definitely makes engaging on PB so much more convenient and fun. If you have a great experience with the app, we'd love if you'd consider supporting us through Pagebound Royalty; Lucy and I have worked for $0 over the past year to bring the app and website to fruition, and have been covering business costs with our savings accounts. Your contribution means we can continue to work full-time on Pagebound without influence from investors or advertisers, and keep Pagebound 100% for readers by readers. Thank you so much to all the Royalty who have already contributed; it truly means the world to us and keeps Pagebound online!

    ok now go download the app and tell us what you think!

    Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

    PS - leaving us a review in app stores also helps tremendously :)

  • A small update! About the cat!

    Guys! We've got the kitten! She just arrived yesterday! It's a male kitten by the way but I keep using she/her for some reason. This kitten is gonna be woke as fuck. There was a delay in the shipment of a few of her things so yesterday was a bit stressful. She's very small so we're trying to litter train her. Right now it's a makeshift shoebox with cat litter so hopefully things will be easier when her litterbox arrives today!

    She's a perfect little angel. Hyperactive and a total nuisance. Very naughty 😭 but I love her. She's sleeping in my room under a coffee table at the moment because her cat bed also got delayed. But it's coming today with the litterbox!

    AND. We've named her Brew! My mom was doing so much drama about the kitten but when it went to sleep, she refused to leave Brew's side đŸ˜­đŸ«¶

    Edit: I forgot to tell you guys. We took her to the vet, everything looks good! She's due for her deworming and first vaccination in a few days đŸ«¶

  • Design updates to announce!! (9/26/25)

    Hi everyone! We have submitted the app for app store approvals, so it should be publicly available very soon đŸ€žÂ In line with that, we have some very exciting design updates to share.

    A new logo You’ve likely noticed the new logo and Pagebound icon, now visible on web. Since our app and website design are sisters, not twins, we redesigned the logo to tie both together. We won’t be changing the web design to match the app, so you can choose the experience and aesthetic that you prefer. We think each design suits its interface well, while retaining the whimsy and magic that is the spirit of Pagebound.

    We also wanted more flexible and beautiful iconography that could work across app, web, socials (and that would look really cute on merch! 👀), and we’ve definitely achieved that with our new PB icon. We worked with illustrator Mariam Chagelishvili to create it and are thrilled to share that you’ll see more of her work soon


    Updated avatars (with new ones to come) We are excited to announce that we will be rolling out additional avatars for you to choose from—these “avatar packs” will be unlocked with each level you achieve on Pagebound. Check out the 2 new avatar options with Level 2 👀🎉

    We’ve always known that as we grew, we’d need more options—lest every single comment come from the ghost 🙃. With Pagebound’s rapid growth, we’ve outpaced my ability to keep up with drawing new avatars. I’m happy to share that Mariam has taken over avatar creation and deserves all the praise for the future avatar packs releasing soon as well as the revamp you may have noticed to your current avatar. Through the lens of her own style, we asked her to preserve the essence of our OGs while creating a design system flexible enough to fit new concepts (ps I cannot wait until we release our cute vegetable pack đŸ„•)

    We hope you love these visual changes that are a marker of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown!
