  • Question of the Day!

    Bonjour Bookaholics!

    How is everyone doing?

    My question for you is... 🥁

    How do you track your reading? Do you use anything other than Pagebound? 📖

  • First-Line Friday (Pt. 6) 📚 ✨

    Happy Friday, fellow fiction fans!

    Drop the first line or two of the book you're currently reading, and let fellow Boundlings try to guess the title and author. If no one gets it by the end of the day, come back and reveal the answer!

    A few friendly guidelines: • Keep it to the first line or two only (no spoilers!) • Don’t include the title or author right away • Feel free to add a hint later if people get stuck

  • 📢 Drop your fav indie author!! 📢

    Are you reading an ARC that you are loving? Is your friend writing a book? Do you know a small writer that is trying to show their work to the world? Share them on here!! 🙂‍↕️

    I am spanish and I am in a constant search for smaller english, american or just bilingual authors. Most of them have really great books, and their ePub prices are really reasonable (not like some publishing companies. Sorry but 18€ for a digital copy of a bestseller is crazy work).

    This is why I wanted to create a little place to find more affordable and great options to hype up. Let us know the titles and the genre, and if you want why do you love them!

  • I tanked my NetGalley ratio

    And got my first request denied. I'm cowabummed out 😔

    Do you have any recs from the "read now" NetGalley UK section? I keep staring at the titles, but I'm worried of tanking even more my ratio 🤣 I picked a bad choice once, and it costed me dropping to 67% from 100%, and getting a pending request denied (either that or bc I'm not on am*zon, publisher is vague in their preferences page).

    I saw there's Grief Eater as "read now" and I have it in my interested list since a review on here made me curious about it... but idk if I have enough brainpower for that 😅 at the same time, I'm worried that I will get denied again if I try requesting something unless I bring back up my feedback ratio. 🙃 maybe I should focus back on my actual tbr...

    EDIT: thank you for your patience, boundlings. 🙇🏻‍♂️ I went into a bit of a spiral this morning after seeing the rejection mail and I started worrying about the % and "what if I request something and I end up DNFing again?" or "what could I read to be 100% sure I will like it and finish it and leave feedback?" ...and 100% worded the soup of thoughts in my head in the worst way possible. 🙇🏻‍♂️ I will persevere, and if I will get denied...whatever, I still have a physical TBR to deal with 🤣 For sure, I will not give in to impulse moments like I did with this DNF-d ARC. My fault, completely.

  • 📚 Question of the day #2 !

    Hello ! I’m going to try to make this a reoccuring thing because I really enjoyed yesterdays question of the day. It was so fun to read other peoples opinions and really see how many people relate to me 💕 And so todays question I chose..

    What is your LEAST favourite genre, and what made you realise that it is not for you? 🙅

    I’ll go first, my least favourite genre is modern dark romance. For me they just feel either bland or overly weird. I realised that I didn’t like dark romance when I saw promo videos on tiktok, where people would promote their books by making a list of how many taboo tropes they can add into their book, and at that point it just felt like a competition of who can make the weirdest tropes. 😅
