I have a series problem.

I cannot for the life of me ever finish a series. Either I lose my hyperfixation on it or I just don't want it to end. Then I'll re-enter my hyperfixation, but I have to start over from the beginning to remember what happens.

I guess I could look up the cliff notes or an in depth review and just pick up where I left off. But then I'll never be able to read it for the first time again! Is this something that happens to y'all? Do you have any tips or tricks?

Hello Boundlings!

There were a number of people who expressed interest in joining a 75 Booked challenge last week.

Unfortunately we lost our OP (unless they have returned with a different user name) so I thought I would pop up a check in post for anyone playing along (mainly by virtue of the fact that I’m in Australia and it’s already Friday night here).

How has your week gone? What has gone well? Does anything need tweaking to make things work better for you?

(A note on “the rules”:

I just wanted to note that this challenge should look exactly how you want it to so it works for you - your challenge, your rules.)

I had a pretty good week for reading although I didn’t do as much as I would have liked a couple of days. The biggest win for me though was discovering that just writing a couple of lines in a journal and adding a couple of cute stickers is very good for my mental health. Who knew?

Hey y'all!

I know there's an option to import your Goodreads/Storygraph library/info, and that you get an extra 50 points for it. Pagebound says 80% of users import their reading history.

However, I've decided that I'm going to manually input my reading log going all the way back to 2016. The reasons for this are threefold: Goodreads maintenance has always been terrible, with multiple editions of the same book on various shelves (read, want to read, etc); I don't want to have to then work to cull books on my TBR once they are with me on Pagebound, but rather start fresh; and there is a quiet sort of joy in looking through my reading history through the years, and in remembering where I was in my life.

If you input manually or auto-imported previous reading history, tell me more. Why? How has the process felt?
