In elementary school my friends and I assigned subjects a color. This would often lead to many arguments lol.

For example:

Math- red Social studies- blue Science- purple History- orange ELA- pink

For me it kinda goes:

Romance- pink Fantasy- purple Mystery- brown Science fiction- grey

But there are so many genres I am hoping to hear what colors you would assign to your favorite(s)!!

Hey, beautiful people 💫 After that post I made in the forum I felt so surprised to see so many people relate to my situation, and it was overwhelming (in the best way) to feel everyone's support and understanding. So I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who took the time to give me a little uplifting, it really made a difference.

This made me think that we really are a community of dear anonymous friends, who support each other through the love of books. Which led me to this thought: There are so many beautiful and original usernames... What's the story behind each one? (except for one_crazy_eliott, I think I understand the reason behind Mr. Crazy's username 🤭🤭🤭)

So, if you feel comfortable, share the story behind it. I think it will help bring us closer and keep everyone's anonymity anyway.

I'll start: The OGs know I started PB as fantasy.betareader but decided later to change my username to Pipsy to help me feel more connected here. This is a nickname my sister gave me when I was 3 or 4 years old, and it stuck until today. My whole family calls me by it, my friends, my teachers, my bosses, etc. Even on my passport, my signature says Pipsy. So that's basically my name 😊

When you're going somewhere for an extended period of time (like more than 2-3 days), do you have a min/max number of books you physically bring? Like not just an e-reader with 10+ books, but actual, physical reads.

I'm going to be house-sitting for six days and my physical stack is currently at 12 😆 I'm using this as an opportunity to make a dent in my physical TBR backlog and feel like 2 books per day is a totally do-able number for me. Plus, I like options!

i was looking at my tabs and noticed a certain squiggle was missing!! i like the new font though :) it's very wonky nice hehe

Does anyone have a fun way of picking a new book to read? A TBR wheel? A TBR jar?

I've tried the jar but kept forgetting to update it as I was reading/buying new books. I'd love to try the wheel because, uh, dopamin, but it would take so long to set up!

I kinda wish we had polls because I'm curious about the ratio of plot-driven people vs character-driven people. I guess my question is: how do you feel about unlikable protagonists? Not necessarily MCs written to be unlikable (because that might be a seperate question), but also MCs that you specifically dislike.

Do you drop a book if you can't stand the MC, even if the plot is good? Do you keep going but it kinda ruins the enjoyment for you and your rating will reflect that? Or do you think that as long as the plot is strong and the characters are serving it, your personal feelings towards them doesn't matter?

Hey all, Pagebound newbie here! I'm curious about how everyone set up their library, I'm guessing most of you imported finished books from somewhere else, but then do you use the shelves or some other system, or do you just leave your library be?

This is my first time using a site for cataloguing my reading and personally I'm having the time of my life adding books to my finished list. At first I though I'd just add some things I've read recently, but then while exploring the site I kept finding books I'd read at some point and now I'm just adding anything and everything that I've ever read, and it's been such a fun journey down memory lane!

Thanks to it my library is now a huge mess though, because I'm adding books I read last week simultaneously with books I read 10 years ago.. I'm still considering if I wanna add books I read as a young kid, and I decided not to add mangas/comics although I've seen them around, all in all exciting times for me haha

Is anyone else doing anything similar?

PS. I'm so glad I found this site, love you all!

Before I joined Pagebound my tbr was tiny, like 10 books MAX (I had 4 in my reading journal at the beginning of the year)! But after joining Pagebound it just keeps growing, I’m now at almost 40 books.

On one hand, I am thrilled to see how many books I wouldn’t have learned abt if I wasn’t apart of this community. I’ve learned that some books that I rlly liked and thought were stand alones, aren’t acc stand alones and I can spend more time in that universe. Plus the fact that bc of the quests and read alongs, I’m reading outside of my comfort zone and really enjoying it!!!

On the other hand, THIS IS SO OVERWHELMING OH MY GOD!! I love having this massive selection but am I gonna have enough time to read all the books I want??? Ik my tbr is only 40 but I have the feeling it’ll keep growing.

How do I keep up? Do I just embrace the chaos? How long is ur tbr?

Every time I go back to a previous page (the main forum page, specifically) after clicking on a post, I gasp a little because I'm certain it's gonna scroll back to the top and I'll lose where I was, but no, it stays exactly where I left it✨️ Great coding, thank you team 💖

imma need a minute to recover from that thing that happened before the last thing that happened. cried some tears. need book 4 asap thankyou
