    Okay so I was a bit confused about this not being just stories collected together but also it’s combined with his own stories of life in Japan. Now I am getting a better feel for the book

    Love this book it’s hilarious. I would have liked more Jeremy but Lobsang was also a great character. Wish Susan had gotten another book.

    Okay I loved this It was bit slow paced and a lot went on but it definitely picked up in the last third. A bit heavy on the historical side but it’s good to remember that civilians died in ww2. Guessed the murderer but still definitely crazy but ending.

  • A Pagebound Wrapped

    i mean i dont know of the nice founder ladies will see this or if it might not work for this. But a page bound wrapped would be so cool and such a nice way to spread awareness for this great website and soon to be app. Also since good reads and Story Graph have something but it would be a lot of work and what would it measure? how many people you replied too in comments? how many books you read? how many badges you earnt? quests completed?

  • What is your favourite Discworld?

    I am crying happy tears right now, because this quest is finally open. To commemorate this moment, thought I could start with the hardest question of all time.

  • New here!

    Hi there! <3 I found out about Page Bound yesterday and I'm having lots of fun! I looove, love strange horror novels (bonus points if they're sapphic), and I fell in love with books through magical realism, which I still love it to this day, so that's mostly what I read. Can't wait to be a bit more active around here 🌿💙 Oh, and if you have any good recs for sapphic horror books, feel free to write them down!

  • Books in translation 🗺

    I've been challenging myself to read more books in translation (translated into english), so please drop all your recs!! The weirder the better tbh, I love stuff that's a little (or a lotta) bit unsettling or weird, but I'm generally open to any genre!
