What is something you've read in one or more books that have made your expectations of it, in real life, higher? I'll go first, how guys in books treat their significant other and how most friends are there for each other in a way you don't often see irl

I usually have to fight against the urge to re-read my favourite books and it's always hard when the urge hits in the middle of my planned reads. I brought this up with a colleague recently, while I was explaining that I only give 5 stars to my Definitely Re-reading At Some Point Again, and she was so confused??? She said she's never re-read a book and I was shocked??? HAHA After I read Emily Henry's Funny Story, I was so excited to re-read it. I've re-read The Raven Cycle series every other year. I immediately re-read The Foxhole Court a week or two after I finished the first trilogy. It feels so good re-reading a favourite, it never gets old for me. 🥺💖

Hi everyone! Here's a quick list of recent quality of life updates + bug fixes: - The most obvious: you probably noticed your feed is flooded with "badge earned" updates. There was a bug where, when a book was added to a Main Quest, those who had previously joined the Quest did not get credit for reading the newly added book. I fixed this bug and earned out badges for everyone (hence the feed getting flooded!). If you see anything still incorrect on your profile, email me at team@pagebound.co - there was a bug where the Edit option for your Reviews did not consistently show up in the ... (three dot menu) on the review card. This has been fixed! You can now edit your review anywhere you see it. - various infrastructure updates to help with server crashes + load times as we've seen a ton of growth on Pagebound over the past few weeks :) and of course, still working hard on the app! Our plan is to release to our first round of beta testers this month and publicly release before the end of the summer. Appreciate everyone's patience on this! On the bright side, there are TONS of updates on the app that address many feedback concerns we've seen lately :) Lastly, it's been so exciting to see all the new readers join us! Huge thank you to everyone who has sent good vibes, welcoming messages, and answered questions. This community is truly the best. Happy Reading 💙💜 Jennifer & Lucy

I had no idea the concept of “Big Brother” came from this book. It’s always so wild to me when I learn the origins of a common saying and think about the fact that prior to that first use, no one ever used it.

I just got one in the sale and I'm obsessed but now I feel bad for my physical tbr that I'm meant to be getting through. Also what are people's opinions on kindles?

What is one popular book you've read and didn't like, where you didn't get the hype or don't understand how many people can genuinely like it? I'll go first : Le Petit Prince I've never understood how everyone loved the book, as a kid I was forced to read it every year and go to see plays about it and until today I don't understand the hype.
