Hi all, hope you’re doing well! I was thinking about how I see so many vintage books when I go shopping at my local second-hand book store. I personally don’t make an effort to collect older books (my probably oldest book is from the 70s) but I was curious as to how old your oldest copies are and what title. Feel free to post a picture too!!💕

I hope all of you have an amazing weekend!! We're in the middle of a heat wave here in Germany and I hate it so so much. I feel like the only good thing about it is that I can stay inside all day and read (but at what cost?) Do you guys have any plans for the weekend? Which books are you excited to read? I recently finished The housemaid by Freida McFadden (after accidentally reading the book by Sarah A. Denzil, which I am not mad about, it was good) and I really liked it! So I got copies of the second and third part of the series and I can't wait to read those!

Am I the only one who LOVES to read low ratings of books they adored? I don't know why, I just love it. I find them so funny too. 🤣 And sometimes they have so much true in them but it doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to stop liking the book. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

i really hate when books don’t use quotation marks with dialogue :( it irks me and hurts my brain— does anyone know the significance of not? like is it significant in the history of literature or is it just a choice that has no real meaning?

This is my first time using an app to catalogue my personal reading and I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of this app and logging my reading progress, but I wanted to ask what made others who have used other apps before (e.g. Goodread, fable, etc.) switch over to Pagebound? Also Hi everyone!

Just curious, what's your reading routine like?

I recently got over a months-long reading slump and I've finally gotten back into the habit of reading every day. These days, I usually read during short work breaks, before bed and whenever I have extra time on the weekends. I also listen to audiobooks on my walks. Gotta make up for lost time 😆

What about everyone else? Do you squeeze in reading whenever you can or do you set aside a specific time for it?

“Zuckerberg borrowed heavily from Google’s unofficial playbook for how to run Facebook, commissioning artist David Choe to spruce up its office walls with a graffiti-inspired mural.”

once again, a name i solely recognize because of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown! David Choe appears in season 1, episode 2, ‘Los Angeles’ :]

Looking to get people's thoughts on something regarding adding books to Pagebound. The directions are: "We only accept book entries. We do not accept box sets, fanfiction, bonus chapters, webtoons, scripts, single short stories/essays, magazines, etc. These entries will be deleted by the Librarians."

Regarding magazines - I'm interpreting this to mean magazines like Vogue, Time, Real Simple, etc. However, I subscribe to a lot of fiction magazines like Clarkesworld, Strange Horizons, Deadlands, Elastic, etc. In my view, these should be okay to add because they are essentially short story collections, but am curious to know what other people think?

I normally never use bookmarks but I am rn so it got me wondering, what are you using as a bookmark right now? scrap paper, library receipt, gum wrapper, actual bookmark?

Currently I’m using a fortune from a Panda Express fortune cookie: Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can. 🫶🏼🫶🏼so cute. If I remember correctly I got it in the Denver Airport 2 years ago.

cheers, PB 5ever!

recommend me a book you think ill like, or one that you think has cancer energy please!

So I was listening to the Vampire knitting club the other day and then my pre-sleep thought was, does a vampire's hair grow once they are turned? Like what is they have a really bad haircut at the time? Can they only go shorter to fix it?

How is everyone else deciding how to place your votes? I wanted to vote for everything, so I gave myself the rule that I could only vote for one thing in a category to help narrow it down. I also voted for two queer lists on principle. Even then it was so difficult :(

I'm so excited to see the new quests come out; it's going to feel like Christmas morning!

I'm trying to upload a book that's not on here but apparently I have to provide an isbn or Asin number but the books I'm trying to upload is from the 1950s and has neither 🫪

Can anybody help?
