  • What popular staright romance would you recommend to a gay woman?

    So, I am very gay, and also wanna read more sapphic lit, however lgbt books are kind of hard to get here in Hungary, as the stores only sell them if they are exremely popular. And then they are still usually foiled down, and I am not sure that I can get them by myself due to being underage. That being said, I will order quite a lot of wlw books online for christmas, but those only deliver in like a month. So, up until that, I need straight romance that is 1, popular enought to be translated to smaller languages, 2, bearable to be read by a woman, who is primarily into femininity. I have really enjoyed Book Lovers by Emily Henry, if that helps. Nothing super dark pls!! Thank you in advance!!

    describe a book in the most simple way you can and let people guess

    I‘ve seen this scattered around the internet before, and almost exclusively have a great time reading these kinds of ‚bad’ descriptions. I couldn’t find something like this on pagebound, so I thought we could try. (be aware that this might end up kinda spoiler-y for one book or the other)

    so, the idea is: you break down the plot as simple as you can, for example in a single sentence, and let people guess what book you’re talking about.

    I‘ll start: woman sparks revolution by acting like she’s about to kill herself.

  • Looking for Japanese novels.

    Hello everyone! I’m looking to explore Japanese literature and would love some recommendations. Could you please suggest any books by Japanese authors that you think are really good or memorable? I’m open to any genre and would appreciate your favorites!

  • Content warnings system?

    Hey y'all! I found this from an ad on social media, which I'm sure most of you can relate to, and hearing "no Amazon, no AI", is what really sold me. When Storygraph was new and hadn't caved to AI slop, what really sold me on them wasn't just the "no amazon" factor, but they also had a built in system for listing what potentially triggering content was in a book. I, for one, hate when I'm reading a really good book, and then BOOM, SA or child abuse. I've DNF'ed many books because I'll be really into the story and loving the characters, but then the whole thing just becomes about SA. I know there are many stories where that is a main part of the plot, but it's something I prefer to avoid, and I'm hoping that a content warning system something like the one SG utilizes will become part of the Page Bound reality sometime soon! It's been wonderful to see it becoming more prevalent in the reading world, and even in the front of some books!

    TL;DR- Will we get a content warning system at all in the future?

  • Reading around the world

    Hi all :) I am considering doing another round of "reading around the world", because I really enjoyed the first one. Last time I did it with all folktale collections. This time, I am considering either

    1. Women's memoirs and (auto)biographies or
    2. Travel diaries /travelogues Since the PB community seems to have a lot of people from various countries, I wanted to see if anyone has suggestions for books that they think would represent their country especially well? Either for option 1 or 2, or both :)

    I really loved both of the main characters. They were both complex and their feelings were understandable. I do not fault Nasthenka at all, and I loved how the protagopnist didn't hold any grudge towards her. Many quotable sentences, beautiful writing. The Hungarian translaton (which I read) was also gorgeous.
