  • Bible Readers

    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!

  • What counts as reading?

    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!

  • Thoughts on buying a whole series in one go?

    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?

  • Superstitions/coincidences?

    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 😭

  • Problematic Authors

    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?

    Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them

    Reparenting the Inner Child: The New Science of Our Oldest Wounds and How to Heal Them

    Nicole LePera

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work and How to Be the Love You Seek comes a groundbreaking guide to healing our childhood wounds and rediscovering our full potential As adults, we often fall into patterns that feel irrational or out of character—shutting down, lashing out, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging. Beneath those reactions lies our inner child, a younger part of us still trying to get its needs met the only way it knows how. We all carry the imprint of our earliest years. Childhood is brief, yet its impact is lifelong. Some parts of us were met with love while other parts were met with silence, criticism, or disapproval. To survive, we learned to adapt—learning to over perform, to hide, or stay small. Most of us made it through with a mix of love and lack. And many of us still protect the parts of ourselves that once felt unsafe. While we can’t change what happened, we can change how it lives within us and impacts our lives today. Reparenting the Inner Child offers a clear, compassionate path to self-integration, combining practical exercises, somatic tools, and guided reflections to help us create the safety, love, and boundaries we've always needed. Through her holistic framework that models individual development, Dr. LePera explains how we can cultivate the emotional maturity and regulation to respond calmly instead of reacting, to embrace desire instead of shame, and to question the stories we've long believed about who we have to be. Enlightening, empowering, and clarifying, Reparenting the Inner Child is a book that will stand the test of time as a comprehensive guide for personal development and healing, and a resource that will forever change the way we understand ourselves.

    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!
