  • Comfort books

    I'm feeling a bit under the weather so i just started reading and I've got a question for all of you. What is everyone's comfort book?? Like the book that you can reread an uncountable amount of times and still love it with your whole heart? The one where you know the whole plot but just find comfort with the characters and the world? Or maybe you don't reread this book but think about when you're sad? Or you don't have a book like this? If so, why?

  • Movies and TV Adaptations- Ones you wish would be remade or had certain changes?

    So long story short, I saw a movie last night that we thought could have been based on a book (it was not), but it got me thinking about movies based on books. Particularly ones that I wish would just be remade, or had something changed, and I wanted to see what others thought.

    For me, I really wish The Giver were just remade. And I somewhat feel the same about The Hobbit, not because The Hobbit was bad, but I would like to see what they did with it if they left it as one movie and put the attention to detail in it that they did with the LOTR series.

    For just changing some things, I wish there were some changes to the A Discovery of Witches series, mostly in the last season. However, the last season was filmed during COVID, and some of the changes made sense due to the restrictions. I just kind of wish it could be remade without said restrictions, as some scenes would have just been so nice if more characters were there or they had a bit more freedom in how they went about it 😅

    What do you all think? Any adaptations you just want redone, or specific things you wish could be changed?

    Thoughts from 3%

    I really liked the prologue. It was really good at conecting the first book in the series, Graceling, with this second instalment. Even when this sequel does not follow the same main characters as the first book. Really intrigued to continue to discover this world.

  • It’s Been Years 😅📚

    Anyone else started reading again after having been in a reading schlump for years? Husband recently gifted me a kindle and I love it. I used to be against them, but ultimately realize that it’s helped me back reading 10x easier than my physical copies.. no shade to physicals. Anyways, curious to know if anyone else can relate with returning from a long time reading hiatus? And which book did you break out of it with? 😅

    What features would you like to see added/modified on PageBound?

    I'm so excited about this app, I can't help but have ideas on where the app can go. While I am still navigating all the cool features, I am thinking of other additions that I would like to see!

    1. Unique Icons: While I love the little illustrations, I want to add a more personalized icon for my account. In other social apps, I'm drawn to seeing my friends icons and knowing immediately its them. This isn't a deal breaker for me, but I think it would be a nice touch!

    2. Ways to share with friends/direct messaging: This could be controversial, but I would like a way to share books/reviews with my friends like how Spotify has a messaging part of the app where you can send DM's of songs. This could be getting more social media than it needs to be but I want to know what others think!

    3. Personalized pages: Going along with my first point, I think it would be so cool to be able to code your own page, like how Tumblr was back in the day. I don't think it has to be that in-depth as Tumblr, but it would be fun to visit someone's page and have it feel like their own personalized vibes.

    I'd love to hear what everyone is thinking/what their likes and dislikes are so far! Ive been waiting for something like this for forever!!

    Thoughts from Ch. 7 / 17%

    Controversial but I love Malta. She’s terrible, clearly, but I love seeing her machinations play out be it good or bad. So curious to watch her character throughout the next few books.
