Hi everyone - excited to announce that Pagebound finally has merch! You can view the selection at https://store.pagebound.co/
We know this has been highly requested, and we wanted to get out a first release in time for the holidays, so what we have now is a limited run of a few items. We do have plans in the future for an expanded store with more product types (stickers of avatars & badges, mugs, etc) and more t-shirt / sweatshirt / hat designs. Let us know your other requests in the comments 😊
This was very fun to create, and we can’t wait to see everyone repping Pagebound--it’s about to be my daily uniform 🙂↕️

I feel very meh about this book. Like, I can see why people would really like it, and why people would feel the opposite. But although I can't quite say I liked it, I don't think it was necessarily bad...
The big thing for me is trying to figure out Lady Macbeth, because the author took their own route with the character, and it is what threw me off about the book the most. But, at the same time, this is not Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth, and that is totally ok. There is even a part of me that sees how this interpretation of Lady Macbeth's character came to be, but there is also something so sad to me about turning this super complex character into a young girl making choices out of fear without understanding the consequences, and then getting swept up into the madness of it. And I think the worst part of it was the book trying to balance the two versions together, and it just felt like, in the end, it was infantilizing Lady Macbeth more than anything. Making her a child playing at adult games.
That aside, I felt a lot of this book's pacing was off, and the general flow of the story and what was happening didn't quite work for me. I did enjoy some of the magical elements, and although I have feelings about how the Weird Sisters (The Witches) are represented in this, I do like how they connect them with Lady Macbeth.
