Should we not post our reviews of their books or log them in at all? As all engagement = publicity. Or should we give low ratings the way a lot of folks do with JK Rowling given her views? Or should we rate the book on its merits and simply mention that the author is a zionist which is disgusting or something like that? What do you guys do for this?

I prefer reading in my native language, Hungarian. I absolutely love it and it's easier for me to engage in the story this way. It also helps me relax. But the more time I spend here on Pagebound, the more books I'm interested in. And a lot of them aren't translated into my language. I'm a bit scared of reading in English, but I don't want to miss out on any interesting book I might not be able to read otherwise. It would be nice to practice my English, but I don't want reading to become a chore. Do you guys have any advice on how to get over this fear I have? Anyone in my shoes perhaps? 😅

I am loving this book because the ideologies that the author wants the readers to see were not presented in an extremely obvious way. It's making me thinking and dissect the story more.

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!!

Y’all ever finish a PERSONAL five-star months ago, and while you’re adding in stuff for the yearly recap, you see a good bit of 1-2 star reviews? I’m always standing there like so🧍‍♂️it feels a little awkward because it sort of makes me feel like I should’ve read it as deep as the reviewer, I guess? One thing this app has taught me, though, is that taste is very, very, very, very, very, very, VERYYYYYY subjective.
