Is there a specific book or type of book you collect?

I try to thrift Eloisa James and Lisa Kleypas Historical Romance from the thrift stores and it's like a game.

I was curious if there were books people tried to collect specifically.

There's only about 2 months left until 2025 is over (WHAT?!). I'll give you a moment to cry.

Moment over.

I'm wondering what everyone's plan is? For those that do reading challenges are we focused on finishing those up? Is anyone focused on finishing some quests maybe? Are you randomly picking out of a jar? Or are we just vibing until the end of the year? (relatable really)

I have a couple quests that's I'm 1-2 books away from gold so I was considering working on those but I still have to work on reading at least one of the seasonal books. I guess I'm just struggling to decide what I want to do! The seasonal readalongs are timely so it makes sense to get some of those done but finishing quests also makes me happy 😂 I'm a bit of a completionist!

What about you guys? Tell me all your plans, the more chaotic the better!

As we all know, Pagebound’s rating system is comprised of the following:

Enjoyment Quality Characters Plot

How would you rank these in order of importance to you? Does it vary by genre or is it pretty consistent? Are there factors where you would accept for example lower Quality rating if the Plot was amazing? Or lower Plot rating if the Characters were great?

Hey everyone! After much consideration, I'm thinking about finally investing in a Kindle. I love to personalize everything I own, so I've been looking at some really cute covers on Etsy, but I REALLY don't want to support a business that uses AI. And tbh it's getting harder and harder to tell these days. Especially since Etsy has an AI problem. Do you know of any sites/shops where I can find covers with cute horror themed art that aren't AI generated?? Or maybe trusted non-AI artists on Etsy that sell them? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! I just realized I have been reading a LOT of books around various authors' takes on dragon lore - mainly because I think dragons are neat. It made me wonder what sorts of mythical creatures others liked and what books they might be reading to get their "fix".

So far I've read the first in the Temeraire and Lady Trent series and am always open to reading more!

For all the readers who like a bit of background noise while they read, do you have any recommendations for AI-Free YouTube channels?

I like to put on something with soft music or white noise to help me focus but it feels like it's getting harder to find non-AI content 😮‍💨

I found this channel called Cocorrina. She has a lot of videos that are perfect for autumn/spooky season and she makes all the art for her videos by hand 💖

If you have a favorite non-AI channel or even just a non-AI video that you keep going back to, please share ✨
