Hello all 👋 Is anyone planning on reading the Fall books in a certain order and if so, what order and why? Mine is dependent on library availability but I’m hoping to tackle them all and like so: 1. A Dowry Of Blood Why: Currently reading anyway. 2. Blood Over Bright Haven Why: Saw some huge spoilers so less excited to read now but still want to try so putting it early in list. Spoilers were not seen on Pagebound - thank you spoiler tag users! 3. Don’t Let The Forest In Why: No words just excitement so middle of pack for a possible ‘high’..? 4. Tender Is The Flesh Why: Weak stomach and not very interested in the shock factor but always wanting to challenge myself hence lower. 5. Spellshop Why: To end on something wholesome and cosy ✨

Is there a way to filter what shows up on my main feed? I would love to be able to exclude seeing when people I follow comment on badge achievements or like someone's post--particularly if I don't follow the user they are liking and commenting on. I am mostly hoping to see when people I follow create posts or leave reviews/posts in book forums and when they earn badges and not much else. I hope that makes sense!

I used to rate books with ".25" and ".75" stars (especially on StoryGraph) but now in my opinion 3.25 can just be 3 stars and 3.75 can just 4 stars. And in pagebound i think its nice to not confuse myself with this bc here it's only .5! What do you think?

I can't actually binge read anything. It's so frustrating when it comes to reading goals and suspenseful stories, but I genuinely can't. I reach a point where I get so tired, so 'full' with the story I've found that I need time to soak it in bfr being immensely excited to continue. Thats why I read multiple books at the same time, I need a break from most stories to fully enjoy them Does anyone else feel like this? Ik so many ppl like to binge do things, but I've genuinely never been able to resonate with the 'I couldn't put it down' or 'I finished it in a day' statements. If I try to I get book burnout. Today I read about 80 pages, and when I finished I was so overwhelmed 😭 it's not book specific either, it happens with every single one, just at different paces

hi, is it possible for us to save/bookmark posts from forums? sometimes i found interesting posts here that i'd like to revisit for another time or book recs of certain theme, but then i found myself frustrated because there's no way for me to do that unless i searched for those myself using specific keywords in the search bar 😭 if it's truly not possible, maybe i'll try submitting feedback to the devs D:

Once it's August my reading taste immediately veers into spooky vibes until December. Gothic, dark, paranormal, mystery, thriller, horror everything. Does anyone else do this? Or in general is there a genre/vibe/mood that you like during a particular time of year?

i might get my feelings hurt with this one because there are a lot of well known/popular writers that i really love and enjoy. i read a freida mcfadden book recently and was genuinely disappointed. i grew up on agatha christie and i generally really enjoy mysteries/thrillers, and its been so long since i've enjoyed a good mystery. unfortunately for me, the writing felt very simplistic(? idk if that's the best word for it) and did not impress me at all. yes, this is a risk we all run when taking opinions/thoughts from strangers online, but i'm wondering if there are any super hyped up authors that you didn't/couldn't like at all. (this is exlcuding any authors you don't like because they are problematic in some way or the other)

what books are coming out in 2026 that you're looking forward to reading? i'm trying to find new books that i want to request arcs for and read next year! personally, i'm most looking forward to: - behind five willows by june hur - love me tomorrow by emiko jean - the swan's daughter by roshani chokshi - an arcane inheritance by kamilah cole - what we did to survive by megan lally

Red, White & Royal Blue needs to be on this list!
