What is one micro trope you hate to read? I'm not talking about the big ones like ennemies-to-lovers, found family, etc but the small ones that add details in the story and build up to the climax of the book

Which book formats do you prefer to read in? Paperback, audiobook or ebook? Is there a reason as to why?

Curious what others think.. do you count a book you have DNF'd as read on your year goals? I know some who do and some who don't. I'm on the doesn't count side. If you count it as read.. why? Honestly just curious!

Hihi! After seeing reels about PageBound on socials and having a friend recommend it, I decided to pop over! I love seeing people chat about things they love, so I figured it could be fun :) After being a super avid reader as a teen, I ended up taking a years-long hiatus from reading to pursue other hobbies despite my utter love for books. At the top of 2025 and after a lot of procrastinating and failing, I decided to take a leap of faith and dive into Babel by R.F. Kuang, mostly by intrigue of the front cover illustration and the book flap synopsis/blurb. It was difficult, I won't lie, it's a really dense book to try to start out with after a while of not reading at all, but it did kickstart my first reading year in a while and I ended up really liking it! Maybe conquering a book of its length made me feel brave enough to keep going~ For anyone who's dealt with prolonged reading slumps/hiatuses, I'm curious, what book sort of brought you back into reading again? Is there a particular reason why that book did it for you?

did anyone else thing this book in the trilogy was the best??

What's a book you started expecting to not like it and it surprised you? For me it was A God in the Shed by J-F. Dubeau.
