I've seen a few videos on my TikTok fyp discussing rating books you DNF. I haven't ever, especially because I'm only getting 1-2 chapters in sometimes. But, I saw a comment saying being able to get through a book is obviously the objective, so why wouldn't you leave a rating about why you couldn't do that? That got me thinking about it again for the books I do get a decent bit through (I recently got 50% into a DNF). I think Pagebound also provides a unique opportunity to give that feedback in the feed rather than a review. What do you think? Are you rating DNFs? Only rating them if you get to a certain point or if it's THAT bad?

unfortunately my brain works in compartments and now I entered the "movies" one and the "books" one is just closed at the moment. so I'm on reader's block but I finally unlocked the movie watcher's block ??? I missed movies tbh but now I feel horrible for all the books I bought. do you think it is fair to call this "reader's block"? does it happen to you? how do you deal with it?

For when you're craving a good sapphic story, a collection of books that feature sapphic characters and/or a sapphic romance.

🔚 I always read the last sentence of a book before I start it. No idea why. It’s like a teaser trailer. I know it’s wrong. I do it anyway. 🪑 My ideal reading position? Lying in bed with my legs up against the wall, body forming a perfect 90° angle. But here's the thing: I only do this when the book deserves it. If I’m not inspired? No 90° privilege. And when things get intense, I’ll sit cross-legged so I can cover the pages with my hand — because sometimes, I need to emotionally prepare for what’s coming. 😅 🧠💬 If I misread a character’s name early on… that’s it. Game over. I will forever read it that way — even after I learn the correct pronunciation. Especially if it’s in English but written in Greek — my brain locks onto that version and refuses to update. Tell me I’m not the only one 😬 What’s your weirdest reading habit?

I don't know why this thought popped into my head earlier today, but does anyone else use the "Want To Read" feature on Goodreads/Story graph/Fable as their 'official' TBR list or as a place to keep track of books that catch your attention but you don't want to forget the name? For me, I tend to fall into the latter, where if I find a book, but don't want to forget it and am not ready to read it yet.

I have never started reading a book without first reading the synopsis and often a review or two. I am usually very picky about the books I read so I feel like I can't just go in not knowing anything. But, after seeing so many people say they go in blind all the time it has me curious to try. What books would you recommend someone start reading with little to no information about what is going to happen? I usually read fantasy or sci-fi but I also love dystopian and magical realism. Bonus points for a really good romance plot that isn't the main focus of the story. Also, if you have no recommendations but are someone who often goes in blind, why? Very curious to know as I'm someone who neeeeeeeeds information before starting things haha.

What book(s) are you most excited to read in June? It doesn't have to be a new release. Maybe it's something you've been wanting to read and are finally getting around to. For me, I can't wait to finish The Hunger Games series. I have Catching Fire on hold for this month and I plan to read the rest next month.

i am REALLY in the mood to read something with this type of pairing (manga, manhwa, standalone book, a book series, ANYTHING) and i want to know if anyone has any good recommendations 😊 it can be of any genre too but do tell me the vibes of the thing you are recommending pls

i know that we're probably not supposed to hate Elvina THIS much but MY GOD she is making it hard not to hate her. i understand that maybe it's the way that the previous queens have done and understood things but it's starting to get infuriating.

When do you read, like at what times? Do you read for a few minutes between things you have to do? Do you have free time in your day you mostly give to reading? I personally don't have long transport rides throughout the day I can use for reading which sometimes I wish I did haha but I usually read after work/college or read during the weekends. Today I actually had a task that wasn't very thought consuming during work and listened to a short audiobook while doing it, I don't usually listen to audiobooks as I find it hard to focus but it worked for me today.

What would it be? I need help finding my next read and figured this would be a good way to get really good recs 👀
KatieAu commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
I was thinking about it, like, I mostly read thrillers/horror books, and I always say that I’m not that into romances, but clearly I’m a sucker for a good romance every once in a while and recently I’ve been very in non-fiction. So what’s the genre you gravitate the most? For me I think it depends on my mood 😹 and you?

How do you choose what book from your TBR list to read next? I’m stuck on what to read next & it’s stressing me out😆
KatieAu commented on a post from the Pagebound Club forum
do you read Book 2 right away (if you liked Book 1) or read something new as a palate cleanser from the series?
