Hello cuties!
My question is for those of you who read 10+ books a month : how do you do it?
I’ve seen a lot of users on this app having already 50, 80 books read in 2026 and I can’t understand how someone can read that many books! I’m impressed!

Hi everyone at Pagebound! I was just thinking earlier about how when I was a child, I'd fill in and submit these book review worksheets to the school library for a year-long contest we had.
I've also heard about the famous Pizza Hut rewards program they had in the US (are there any other countries that had that too?) and now I want to make a little punch-card to get myself a pizza after chipping off a good number of books off my TBR!
Did your school or local library have any of these sorts of programs or rewards systems? I'm curious!

What is your favourite book genre and why? Because personally my favorite is fantasy and romance because the worlds just whisk me away from then current state of the world! But I cannot read non-fiction as my mind physically zones out and I cannot keep focus on it. I also cannot read horror as it kind of freaks me out and makes me paranoid but I'm open to ready sci-fi but I have no idea what to read in that part of the genres... Any suggestion? Open to sci-fi and romance and fantasy recommendations!

I have a hypothesis that people who really like reading--enough to be in a community like this and to read a wide variety of books--were not only encouraged to read growing up but had a fair amount of latitude in what they read.
My mother didn't read very much but my father read all the time and the house was full of books. A little of everything, though mostly SF/F/H. We had everything from the Narnia books to LotR to very adult-oriented horror books. It was all open to me and my parents never policed my reading, so I read a bit of every type of book we had going back to at least 3rd or 4th grade.
I'm curious about the rest of you. Not necessarily a no-boundaries childhood when it came to reading, but whether you felt like books were encouraged and you were mostly given the freedom to explore them on your own.

How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming

This had the bones of a good story that didn't quite pull together for me. I liked the multiple documents used and I thought the idea of the witch in the well was neat, but by the end I had stopped really caring. There wasn't much tension by the last bit and I was never invested enough for the wrap-up to mean much.
