???¿??????????¿??????¿??????

Just wondering... is anything going to happen anytime soon or do I have to wait for the last few chapters? Because I'm just reeeaaally bored right now. Literally nothing is happening, they're just talking and sitting and eating and laying in bed and chatting some more and that's about it... but we're already 47 chapters in and I see no end to this boredom 😭

“The promise, I’m here, without words” Uugghhh I’m loving this so much!! This book is definitely not my type of book but man! I’m enjoying it so much! Problem is I have to read it during the day cause I get scared easily 🫣 and I’m a night reader cause of mom life haha so it’s taking me forever to move faster with this book. Anyway, that was from chapter 10, I’m so excited to keep going. How are you guys liking it so far? Or if you’re done reading it, did you love it? :)

Hi everyone! We have submitted the app for app store approvals, so it should be publicly available very soon 🤞 In line with that, we have some very exciting design updates to share.

A new logo You’ve likely noticed the new logo and Pagebound icon, now visible on web. Since our app and website design are sisters, not twins, we redesigned the logo to tie both together. We won’t be changing the web design to match the app, so you can choose the experience and aesthetic that you prefer. We think each design suits its interface well, while retaining the whimsy and magic that is the spirit of Pagebound.

We also wanted more flexible and beautiful iconography that could work across app, web, socials (and that would look really cute on merch! 👀), and we’ve definitely achieved that with our new PB icon. We worked with illustrator Mariam Chagelishvili to create it and are thrilled to share that you’ll see more of her work soon…

Updated avatars (with new ones to come) We are excited to announce that we will be rolling out additional avatars for you to choose from—these “avatar packs” will be unlocked with each level you achieve on Pagebound. Check out the 2 new avatar options with Level 2 👀🎉

We’ve always known that as we grew, we’d need more options—lest every single comment come from the ghost 🙃. With Pagebound’s rapid growth, we’ve outpaced my ability to keep up with drawing new avatars. I’m happy to share that Mariam has taken over avatar creation and deserves all the praise for the future avatar packs releasing soon as well as the revamp you may have noticed to your current avatar. Through the lens of her own style, we asked her to preserve the essence of our OGs while creating a design system flexible enough to fit new concepts (ps I cannot wait until we release our cute vegetable pack 🥕)

We hope you love these visual changes that are a marker of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown!

Is it just me, or is every supposedly 'good' male character in this book incredibly condescending and manipulative? I want to shake them so hard! 😩

I don't know why I feel bored while reading this book... I guess cozy fantasy isn't for me :(

Of the benefits of pre-orders : I got this little baby in the mail today. I want to plunge into it immediately.

i just wanted to come on & say thank you to PB + its creators + the wonderful community on here. i joined PB in early august because (1) discussion-based book space sounded amazing & (2) i desperately needed a distraction while waiting for my bar exam results 😵‍💫

during bar prep i only got through 2 books in three months, i couldn’t listen to music for months because i was scared that lyrics would take up “too much space” in my head, i didn’t dare do anything that wasn’t prep-work. i took the exam in july & then curled up & cried about it for a week before i decided i needed to do something to pass the time until results released, so i decided to start reading again

yesterday, 9/22, i got my results: i passed the bar!!!!!!!!!! i am officially baileyisbooked, esquire 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 (obligatory nothing-i-say-on-here-is-associated-with-my-job-or-license-and-is-my-own-opinion blah blah blah) 👩‍⚖️⚖️🍾🤍

i am getting sworn in on friday & i am just so grateful & relieved. i am a first gen student for both college & law school, so this really was a crazy push for me & my family is thrilled 😭🫶

i just wanted to say thank you to everyone, especially jennifer & lucy for creating a space like this. PB really saved my sanity for the last 8ish weeks while i waited. everyone has been wonderful, i have been reading books out of my normal range & loving them, & getting to talk to fantastic people about excellent books. it’s just been such a bright spot in what has otherwise been a high anxiety / dread period.

so yeah, that’s kind of it. thank yall for the work you put in & thank you everyone for the discussions & posts & recs & comments & quests & everything else. i hope everyone is having a great week & reading a 5-star read ❤️‍🩹🫂📖🥹
