Sorry if this has already been answered. I was looking for some people to follow on here and one of the profiles says we have a 46% overlap, but I only have 98 books in common with them out of 6086 they have in their library (yes, I counted). I'm not a math person, but it seems to me like there's something wrong or I don't understand how the overlap works. Can someone explain it to me? Thank you ❤️

Thank god its friday!!! I finally get to read!!!! What are you guys reading this weekend? Do you have any other plans? I'm gonna finish my current read and might start 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' + im gonna watch some F1🚗

List your favourite trope.

If your trope is more niche, feel free to define it so others can know more about it! Can be common or niche tropes!

Beneath it, put your favourite book recommendations for that trope!

Let's see what tropes are the most popular on this platform!!!

Why did I take so LONG to read this? I'm having such a good time ahah

I don't know about anyone else but I use the Audiobook platform through my local library (Support Your Libraries!!🙌🙌🫶🫶) And it crashed the other day with AWS and I was so sad to not be able to read any of my audiobooks while I was doing stuff!🥲 I had no idea how much I Loved having my audiobooks fill the dead space in my life!! I never used to be an audio reader but now it's my absolute favorite way to 'reread' my favorite books ☺️ Did anyone else experience the crash on their platforms? (I use Hoopla and am praying it doesn't get cut from my library's selection of book checkouts with the crazy budget changes)

Hello, I’m new to the app this week and I’m trying to understand the difference between the main feed and my books feed. They are regularly the same and when they aren’t, it’s more like a different timestamp. I’ve read posts concerning future updates to filtering features in the works but at present I’m unsure what the difference between them is. Hope this makes sense.

Sometimes I scroll a book site and see a new book coming out, and then I read the author's name and realize I read one of their previous books and hated it. But the new book sounds like it has a really interesting premise. Then I enter a dilemma of whether or not to read the new book even though I disliked their old work.

When are you willing (or not willing) to give an author a second chance? Is your decision at all influenced by the author writing in a new genre or a different age category?

This is really sappy so please ignore it if it’s not your kinda thing 😂

I just wanted to say thank you to the makers of this app and to the community too - I’ve really struggled with reading this year, my grandma was really sick from last October and she passed away this August on her birthday, and i haven’t been reading much at all this year because of the stress.

it wasn’t until I downloaded this app at the beginning of the month that I started finding real joy with reading again - and especially with discussing books. the next thing you know I’ve read 18 books in one month out of a total 40 managed this year which feels so wild.

So yeah thank you for being such a lovely creative community and wonderful app creators!

Y'all I really screwed myself over. Whenever I first started my Bookstagram I decided to sign up for ARCs and didn't realize I signed up for like 19 of them and got accepted to them all. Now I'm 5 books behind and I just want to read books that I want to read and I'm majorly regretting getting myself into this many ARC review requirements at once. I'm trying to still read/review the books even though I'm so far behind but I feel like it's useless at this point because most of the books have already been released. Should I just give up? Should I finish the 9 books left on my ARC list? I definitely want to continue reviewing ARCs but after I finish (maybe) the ones I have left that I signed up for, I will be taking a break from ARCs until next year.

Also my Bookstagram is the same username I have here if anyone wants to follow in my journey with building my platform 🤗🫠

I join pagebound a few months ago and I noticed that my favourite books (for now at least) I purchased them after I saw them here! Has pagebound improved your reading experience? Or has it stress you out?

And I say this with lots of love… don’t forget to turn on the spoiler button on the forum posts and reviews 😩

I’m reading a book that just released (been waiting a year for it) and I already saw something that seems like a spoiler and I’m only 5% in 🫩 and since we can’t filter what books not to see updates on yet, I feel like I have to pause on Pagebound for the time being 😩

Maybe it’s just me but I put the spoiler button on almost anything I post if it includes a character name or something that can potentially hint at an event or moment. I try to be as careful as I can!

I feel like non spoiler posts are more about how the book makes you feel and the writing style and such.

Has anyone been running into the same issue? Or am I just being a whiner? 😓 I feel like not everyone is on the same page about what constitutes as a spoiler so it’s a bit hard for sure 🫤
