I got my Boox Palma June of 2024. I loved using it and I found the fact that I could use multiple applications on one device very nice (Libby, Kindle, and Kobo). However for the past couple of months, the ghosting has become atrocious, so much so that the only solution is to reset the device and start all over. As you can imagine, that has been such a hassle since I have to log in to all my apps each time (especially verifying my library cards). Which is also why I haven’t used it for four months now and am reading on my phone/ipad.

Since this issue has occurred, I’ve been heavily thinking of saving up and switching to a Kobo Libra Color. Though it doesn’t have the access to multiple library cards, I can always just use another device (iPad, phone) for that. Can anyone tell me their experiences with the Kobo devices and how they feel about them?

I’m curious if anyone has done any arc reading for indie or big time authors, and where one might find resources to get into arc reading? I would love to be able to offer feedback on new books before they hit the market and interact with indie authors!

I've been reading a ton of screenplays lately, wondering if I should count them in my personal numbers or not.

Aloha Bookaholics!!

My question for you all is....

What is your favourite animal that was ever mentioned in a book?

I remember specifically an Emuraffe (Emu and Giraffe) hybrid called Deirdre mentioned in the Miss Peregrine series which was super cool 😎

Happy Friday, Boundlings! 💜

Do you have plans this weekend? Are you doing something adventurous and bold or keeping it lowkey and chill?

What are your thoughts on chapter titles? Personally, I love them, especially when they're clever and hint at what may happen in the chapter. But I feel like so many books don't have them! Perhaps they're just more common/popular with YA and middle grade books, so publishers don't want to include them in adult books.

What’s a book guaranteed to get someone out of a reading slump?

question’s in the title! what book, just based on how much you love it/how much you yap about it/etc etc etc pick your own criteria, do you think your PB friends would see and think immediately “oh yeah, [insert your username]!!”? for me,

the fact that i made this in the first place really says it all for my answer honestly

I've been reading relatively heavy books recently, or at least serious books, like The Book Thief, Babel, The Secret History, and the likes. Basically, literary fiction. And while it's been a wonderful time, I'm thinking of reading more genre books that are less.....idk. Less serious, more Y.A?

I'm not saying I want a cringe supreme book where FL (or M.L) is insufferable. Like an in between, yk? I think examples that I've read are AGGGTM, Verity, somehow Six of Crows, The Red Palace by Jun Hur, like that. I know my examples are the making the most sense, but idk. I'm also willing to try something new, cause Y.O.L.O, yk? So if anyone has any recs, I'm willing to take it up. I need to celebrate and chill fr😔😔😔.

Good afternoon Bookaholics!

Your question of the day may be quite a debate....

Do you think booktube/booktok are helping reading or hindering it? This can be for you personally or for the reading community as a whole 🤔

As a mood reader, I often look around my (very, very wonderfully full!) shelves and find I am not quite in the mood to read a single book on them. I love gathering more recommendations to add to the ever growing pile (and to cater for niche moods and vibes!), so I love to ask people what’s on their shelf to read next.

What is the next book on your TBR/reading plan?
