I know there’s a lot of these posts but they’re true okay. I just wanna say thank you to everybody on this app, and how the community has changed me and how/what I read. I have found probably hundreds of books I find interesting, that I would’ve never discovered if I weren’t on this app. I got a library card, I began reading way more, my TBR doesn’t look so overwhelming anymore, and reading doesn’t feel so lonely anymore. Being able to talk with people reading the same book as you is such a joyful feeling, it motivates me to read so much more and I love it. My list of library things I wanna order next is at 13 things…. Thirteen!!! I have never read as much as I do now and I love it, and honestly, I love that it’s anonymous as well :) oh how I thank myself for not ignoring that one reel that made me download Pagebound. So thank you everyone, you have made me so much happier, and thank you to Jennifer and Lucy for making this lovely app 🩵 happy reading everyone! 📚🎧

hey guys! it's my birthday today :) haha that's basically the post. anyway what did you do on your last birthday? did you read? was it a good book?

Hello my bookish friends! I usually make quite silly and light hearted posts in Pagebound club, but I would like to talk about something else today!

Summerbreak is over, and like many others, I have returned to school. I have seen quite a lot of posts about how school, and returning to school, has interrupted reading habits and patterns, and many feel as if they don’t have time nor energy for reading anymore. of course those feelings are valid, I completely get where people come from, it’s stressful, it takes energy and your summerbreak routine is suddenly interrupted, and it can be especially hard for neurodivergent individuals.

What I would like to talk about though, is quite the opposite of that reaction, which is feeling relived that school and your old routines are back, because personally, summerbreak was quite stressful, all my routines and schedules were suddenly so messed up that I was completely unable to do quite literally anything 😅 I suddenly had more time that I knew what to do with, so I became a big time procrastinator, and honestly just felt so crappy the whole time. I kept thinking “I’ll do this later” or “I’ll do it another day” because there was so much time I didn’t feel the need to do it that day. It also comes from back when I wasn’t in school for almost two years, (I won’t go into why as it’s personal reasons) and never felt the need to do anything, because time just never ran out.

So overall, does anyone else feel like this? Like all your routines were suddenly messed up and destroyed? How you used to read on the bus every day after school, or how you would do this or that for 2 hours when you came home. All suddenly just poof and you gotta live with being at home doing nothing for 6 or smt weeks. Im neurodivergent myself, so my routines being messed up hits hard lol, the max break time I can do is two weeks XD of course if you’re out of school and have returned to work, feel free to comment as well! 🩵📚 🪷
