Saw a reel on Instagram and i immediately looked up the website!! Looks so pretty 😭 I read fantasy romance and thriller so please recommend some of your favs ❤️

Sure, it's nice to find people with similar taste in books, and PageBound, due to the Favourits List on users' profiles, is amazing for that. But I fear I am a hater at heart, it's just so much fun. Also, I've found that most people (me included) find it easier to pinpoint what they dislike about a book. And sometime, things people hate about a book is exactly what I like. So I would love to hear your (preferably controversial) books you hate and why. I'll start (feel free to disagree and change my mind but please don't lynch me, though!) (Friendly reminder that you can hate a book but shouldn't shame people who enjoy them or the authors - except if it's people like J.K. Rowling, of course. Feel free to shame her) - One Dark Window because (to keep this spoiler free) the story more or less ends where it started. And it read like a first draft to me. But mostly because I wanted to bang my head against the wall because of how often I had to read how Ravyn's callused fingers caught on clothes/skin/hair. and, probably more controversially - A Little Life because (1) I'm sick of reading about tragic queer characters (2) I find it extremly over the top just how much trauma the MC went trough (3) I'm sick of books being praised as a literary masterpiece when they really are just traumatic (4) I habe a huge issue with the author's statement that she basically just tried to make her MC suffer as much as possible

Feels like we’ve lost the plot here. Was anyone else really enjoying this and then started to dislike it in the last third?

I have only been able to read fantasy books in 2025. Unsure why or what, but I find myself incapable of reading anything else. Recommend your favorite fantasy books for me to try and get through this year! I also have two libro credits waiting for me, so I am in need of new audiobooks!!

Everyone has at least one favorite book from their childhood that they cherish forever, or that one book as a young reader that got you into reading into adulthood? What was yours? (I'll be adding them to my tbr, for real.) My favorite book as a young reader was A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray and her Gemma Doyle Series. PS: I am loving reading everyone’s favorite books as a kid!!! Thank you all for sharing :)
