When I first joined Pagebound, I discovered a bunch of fun quests, but these days I just keep finding new quests by chance. Do you guys look for new quests from time to time? Or you try to finish the ones you've joined first?

Heeello everyone,

What's one book for you that was an unbelievable letdown? I'm talking soul-crushing, frustrating, want-to-throw-the-book-across-the-room vibe.

Also, absolutely no judgement here!

Also also, spoilers (just in case)

I'll go first ~ The Cartographers by Peng Shepherd

I love mystery and I love maps (I even make maps for fun) and this book combined the two, with magic, and it had such a promising start as well. Until....for 80% of it, there was nothing but all exposition and treating the main character as if she were ten years old. And the 'love interest' was a d*** 😒. And there was no plot to speak of. I've never felt so drained after reading a book and so so so very disappointed.

While I’m enjoying rereading the cruel prince I forgot that that would include reading about 🤮locke

So, i installed the app. Im posting this using the app right now. Its not in my country yet but i used vpn (this is my first time using vpn and i couldn't figure out how at first. I installed like, 5 different ones 🤣) and oh my god. Its amazing!!!! Even tho im not used to the app layout and stuff so it feel a bit wierd but i will get used to it so its alright. I hope it works without the vpn too. I'll update yall when i remove it. Im so excited to use it 😆😆😆

Have you ever downvoted a post or comment ? I'm curious to see because if I don't like something I will just not upvote it, but I guess if it were really problematic maybe I would downvote...? Anyway, I'm mostly curious to see, what happens, does the user receive a notification like for upvotes ? Do we lose points ? Is the post just almost never shown because it's less liked ?

I guess my conclusion is : would you downvote this please so I can see ? Thanks 😁 Also tell me what you think about downvoting please

[Answer] : no notifications, no point lost, no points gained. A bit anti-climactic, but I think I did not really expect anything else 😏

I just got to say I love the cover but at the same time it’s grotesque. It’s like perfect for the story but at the same time I don’t want to look at it that much, but also the details but also eww

I've always been a big reader but in college I barely read because I felt I didn't have the mental capacity for it, and started to watch a lot of K-dramas instead. Summer of last year I fell in love with reading again, and I would still watch K-dramas occasionally but it was when I wasn't reading a book.

Now I'm out of college, but still struggling to balance reading with my other hobbies. I'm very all-or-nothing, and I find that if I'm reading I keep wanting to watch my show, and when I'm watching the show, I want to read. It's frustrating because I can't balance both hobbies at the same time and enjoy them without feeling like I should be doing the other.

Anyone else struggle with this issue and have tips for how they allocate time for reading and other hobbies?

one of my favorite things to do when i’m bored is scour the internet for some good fanart of my fav books. sometimes i’ve even had some amazing fanart pop up in my feed that drew me to a book and made me want to read it!

i would love to appreciate more artists who add so much to the book community, so who are some of y’all’s favorite fanartists? (one of mine is lotusbubble on instagram, who has beautiful art for a bunch of popular fantasies/romantasies!)

I can't believe we are 3 months away from 2026, time really flew by! So as your curious reader friend, I want to know all about your tbr plans for these last months, which books you will have to read before the year is finished?👀👀

I definitely need to read The things gods break by Abigail Owen and the rest of the Darkmore Penitentiary by Susanne Valenti and Caroline Peckham because I'm obsessed with these series!

Hello, how are you? I come here in a time of need, i really need some obsessed, knees on the ground for their woman simp MMC's in my books, lately the MMC's I've read about are so meh. So give me your best recommendations, my lovelies.
