    This is from the start a page turner. I really like the narrator Lomeli.

    The main character is so annoying. Also it feels like way too much buildup. The narrator literally mansplains lucky it’s short or I would probably DNF this book so hard.

  • Summer Readalong ☀️ (+ updates) (5/1/25)

    Hey everyone! We have exactly one month left in the Spring Readalong, which means Summer 2025 Readalong picks have officially dropped. You can see all 5 selections over on the Discuss tab :) We've also squeezed in some web updates between app development: - You can now see the publication year on the Book Page below the description. Some of these dates may be the edition's pub date rather than the original publication year; this is a known data issue so apologies in advance! It will be sorted out as we get more robust book data. - Various bug improvements including preventing double user follows We have more requested feature updates in the pipeline; I'll be back soon when they're released! Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙 PS - Our community has grown so much over the past few weeks and it has been SO fun to watch everyone connect and interact. Thank you for making Pagebound such an amazing place and welcoming in our new members!!

  • Books with no chapters

    Hi everyone, I recently read a book ( first love by rio shimamoto) that had no chapter breaks. It was a bit disorientating, though it had clear breaks but having no chapters. I had only before see this in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchatt anyone else encountered this?

  • Japanese lit/translations

    Anyone else loving all the new translations coming in, from Japan. i feel like there is such a range now available in English thats not just Manga (which even then there wasn't a lot). My favourite so far this year was the Chibinko Kitchen that book made me cry. Anyone have suggestions for more Japanese lit (even manga) or other countries you love reading books from.

    this is a tragic tale of how sexual assault can drastically affect someone for their whole life. Most importanly though it discusses and critques how society men and women are complicit in hiding and excusing childhood sexual abuse.
