    I must preface this by saying that I do believe that this book is far more than a romance novel, in fact in my opinion it’s best described as a contemporary novel with a romance. I feel in love with this book, my favourite part was learning about Margaret and reading all her stories. And in many ways the romance was an after thought, but I didn’t mind that as much as I expected myself to. Sure, there were parts that felt rushed and I did find myself wishing that certain parts had been developed more. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I’m actually looking forward to re reading it (which I never do with Emily Henry)

  • Book you absolutely hate

    There are a lot of questions about book recommendations or favorites, but what is the book(s) you absolutely feel repulsed by whenever you see it? Just want to add: i know everyone has their own tastes and that does not mean if one hated the book the other shouldn't has terrible taste, it is the matter of personal opinion. What doesn't sit well with me might be perfect for you :) this is just for fun and to know you all a lot better

    I’ve always been a bit hit and miss with Emily Henry’s books but this one has me hooked already. I love our two main characters I feel like there is a lot to uncover there. But my favourite part so far is learning about Margaret and her stories

  • Do other people also have favourite publishing houses?

    I really really love Verso books. Almost all of my favourite reads were published by them. But this thought made me curious if other people also have publishers they trust enough to buy blindly from. If so which ones and what about their niche draws you in?

    Tell me a little more about yourself

    I'm really interested in learning more about the awesome folks I've connected with on pagebound so far. I've interacted with many of you, and while we usually stick to books because it's a common love we all share, but I realized I only know a little about each of you through those conversations. That is totally fine if that is how you'd like to keep things, so no pressure to answer 😊. A little more personally about me: I'm a father (mid 30s) of 2 beautiful little girls (3.5 years and 7 months), married to an amazing woman and mother, and we also have 2 French bulldogs 😊. I'm currently a software engineer and my primary focus is infrastructure (all the boring stuff that websites like pagebound runs on behind the scenes and serves it all over the world), but I also freelance in web development still since it's where I got my start. Fun random fact: I was top 500 in overwatch season 3 🤣 Super happy to have met everyone and will hopefully continue to meet as this community grows 😊 Please don't forget to practice good internet safety when answering! 🫣

  • What book do you think would make a great movie?

    I love hearing everyone's opinions and thoughts. I also love discovering new books to read when I hear people's answers to questions. My answer: I would love for The Poppy War to be turned into a movie. I need it to be given the "Holes" treatment though and have a super super faithful adaptation made šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  • What's Your Deserted Island Book?

    I run the "get to know me" staff board at my library and I recently asked them this question! I loved hearing their answers, and I thought it'd be fun asking it here! What book would you take to a deserted island (in other words, if you could only ever read one book, what would it be?) Mine would probably be Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

  • What book/series got you into reading?

    I always think back to the childhood books that got made me into the reader I am today so I wanna know what books everyone on here got them into reading! It also doesn’t have to be childhood books if you became a big reader later in life but I would still love to know what your answer was! One of the first books that I remember really loving and becoming obsessed with is the first Percy Jackson book that my mom recommended to me when I was about 7-9. So I owe my reader journey to her. I also really love the Pixie Hollow series so I’m super excited to read Wings of Starlight soon. (I’m also using this post as an opportunity to get some reading recommendations 🤭)

  • What's the most petty reason you've DNF'd a book?

    I used to be a reader who would never ever DNF anything. But it's been really freeing in the last year or so to allow myself to move on if i'm not vibing with a book. So I wanna hear the silliest, most petty reasons you've DNF'd a book before. Mine was about 30 pages into a book when the MMC said in his head that the FMC was "barely pretty" and I just wasn't here for those vibes.

  • Product & Dev Update (4/10/25)

    Hi everyone! We have a few product updates to share - 1. The button to edit read dates is now on the book page - instead of sifting through your library to edit dates, you can visit the book page directly. 2. You can now edit the title, progress %, and spoiler tag on your posts (in addition to the contents!) 3. Fixed various bugs related to adding books to the Pagebound catalog, Goodreads imports, and comments on activity updates. We've had some questions about non-English books and issues importing books in non-Roman lettered languages like Arabic and Greek. We do plan to address both of these issues, however it is a large project and due to the discussion and forum nature of the site, the solution isn't straightforward. For now, non-English books will remain separate from the English version to preserve single-language discussion in the forums, and you may encounter data issues importing books in non-Roman lettered languages. We ask you refrain from importing those books at this time to help keep the integrity of our database! Special shoutout to our lovely Devin for helping on the engineering side with these updates 🫶 Happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy šŸ’œšŸ’™
