I like dark, twisted, gory, smutty and/or humorous: scifi (cyberpunk, space opera) // horror (splatterpunk) // contemporary/urban fantasy // erotica || not a fan of YA or cozy

  • More Control Over What Book Posts We See?

    I'm not very interested in seeing conversation about books I have yet to read (except maybe a brief review), but I do like seeing what people are saying about books I have read. Do you have any plans to tweak the settings on what posts we can see? Is this even something that other people would want? Thanks for the great app!

  • reading series

    Hey guys, I was wondering how other readers go about reading series. Me, personally, I read series in one go because I canā€˜t stand the suspense at the end of book two when thereā€˜s a cliffhanger and book three isnā€˜t out until next year. And then, when book three is finally out, I have forgotten most of the major plot points or am too distracted by others books to even pick it up. So, I wait for the entire series to be out, buy all of them and keep going. However, I feel like I sometimes miss out on the hype (e.g. Fourth Wing) and for some series Iā€˜m interested in, the author takes years and years to keep writing (e.g. Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss), but I would really like to start reading. So how do you go about reading series? And for those of you that read them piece by piece, what are your tips not to forget all about unfinished series?

  • Non-Quantitative Reading Goals

    Hello! šŸˆā€ā¬›

    I know a lot of us have yearly reading goals about reading X amount of books, but I’m curious to know your reading goals that have nothing to do with numbers! Here are some of mine:

    šŸ’œFinish any fantasy series (I read the first book of like ten series last year LOL) šŸ’œRead more nonfiction - I’m a fantasy & sci-fi nut, so I’m hoping to break out a little bit this year! šŸ’œFind a new favorite poet - I love poetry, and want to find more poets that cut to my core

    Feel free to share!🄰

  • I am curious, what do you see when you read a book?

    Okay fellow Pagebound users I have a question for you! When you are reading a book what do you see? This sounds crazy but I had a conversation with my sister and we both agree we visualize the characters and everything that happens pretty vividly like we are there with the characters or maybe like a movie, sometimes even smells or feelings based on what we’re reading. however I asked another friend and they said they just see words on a page??? šŸ¤”šŸ¤”I have done some googling and it appears there is a gradient of what people see when they picture an image or read a book? This is news to me as I thought the appeal of reading is to vividly hallucinate to, if you think about it….ink shapes on dead trees? Anyways wondering if anyone has anything to add to this lol - I may delete this as it might not make any sense but I hope it doesšŸ¤”

    Seems like the same vibe as...

    The blurb sounds like an amalgam of the netflix show "Archive 81" and the Masters of Horror episode "Cigarette Burns" with some queerness thrown in. Is this an accurate assessment?

  • Slaughterhouse-Five
    Thoughts from 76% (page 164)

    Derby spoke movingly of the American form of government, with freedom and justice and opportunities and fair play for all.

    Does that line hit differently in 2026 than in 1969? It was probably satiric back then as well, but it feels more painful now. I'm wondering... Have things really changed, or only our awareness of injustices?

    Finishing the series

    I really need to finish this series. I loved so much of these books, but I am struggling to get back in for the end. I'm so nervous about how it will end and who will die.
