so for those of yall that read the bible: are you tracking it on PB? if so how are you doing it? is there a way to track each individual book? i’m doing a two week(ish) per book study plan rn but it will most likely take me two and a half to three years to complete (with breaks and slumps factored in) so i would really like my reading to count towards my yearly goal. let me know how you track!

I’ve been seeing these crazy debates online about how people don’t always consider audiobooks to be real reading.
It makes me a bit sad because I think it’s amazing that stories can become more accessible through audiobooks.
It’s great that Pagebound has a feature to log audiobooks! It makes me want to try one for the first time, I just don’t know where to start.
Would you consider more comic style books or Webtoon stories to be real reading too? I’m really curious!

I recently saw a good deal on the Waterstones Exclusive Fallen Gods Trilogy and was super tempted to buy it, but I always get nervous buying a whole series in case I dont like them. Especially with how expensive a full set can be!
I feel that its common for book influencers to buy whole series in one fell swoop and I'm curious if other people also do that, or if they would rather buy the books as they work through the series.
What are your thoughts on this?

I’m curious to see if anyone has had a similar experience with a superstition (or coincidence?) when reading.
I bought a bookmark in Nepal in 2024, and every book I’ve put it in, no matter how good it has been, has put me into a slump. Every time I lay a finger on it, it’s like my motivation to read just withers immediately 😭

Sometimes I read a book by an author that I thought was a good person, really enjoy the book and then find out they are actually not that great. Depending on what the problem is, I cant really enjoy the book anymore because their bad actions are now the main focus for me. I feel bad just DNFing the book because I bought it and it is often still a good book but I just hyperfocus on the authors bad actions and can't concentrate on the book. Does anybody else experience this and what do you do about it?

upon reading this as an adult it has quickly launched itself into my top three of all time. a very intelligently/well written novel. be prepared to be frustrated, upset, angry and much more!
