Hi everyone im new to page bound and i love it so far cant wait to meet you all

Hi all! My goal for 2025 is to read more consistently, and I'm off to a good start so far! I recently found an insta reel where a guy (@stevenjreese) has devised a system to divide readers into different colours I'm mostly an orange and purple reader, and his analysis of the types of books I would like felt so accurate! It doesn't focus on genres, more ~ vibes ~ https://www.readyourcolor.com/ It was a really fun quiz, and he gives book recommendations at the end! I'm wondering if anyone else has taken the quiz - what colour(s) are you? And do you have any book recommendations that match the colours? Keen to spread my wings into other colours, but will also take recommendations in my colour zones ^_^

I'm new! I just wanna know if we have monthly reading wrap-ups we can share or screenshot?

I joined page bound three days ago and am loving it! But not seeing a ton of romance readers like myself. So please say hi in the comments so I can follow you & get my rom recs 💕💕💕

Was wondering if you ever come across a book with a dull or not that best story line but the narrator was so good at what they do that you didnt mind listening to them even though you would have otherwise dnfed the book?

Bookriot has written an in depth article about the declining sales of historical romance with quotes from many well-known HR authors, like Mimi Matthews, Sarah Maclean, Joanna Shupe and Liana de la Rosa. I am a huge fan of historical romance and this trend of established HR authors being pushed into other genres by publishers makes me very sad. I also learned from this article that the mass market paperback is officially dead per the end of 2025. I knew this was happening (even Harlequins shifted to a larger format), but this also makes me very, very sad. I adore my large collection of mass market historical romances. Are you still reading HR? Article link: https://bookriot.com/unmaking-of-the-historical-romance-genre/
