I set my reading target this year to be sixty books as that is what I hit last year but currently I am two books behind my schedule. This is because the books I'm reading are mostly 500-700 pages in tiny font. I feel like I need to rush reading the books to hit my target but I don't want to rush them. Does anyone have any advice?

Hii hope everyone’s having a great summer!!

I’m pretty new to PB and i’m really loving it! It’s so fun being able to comment on other’s posts about a book you’ve already read, and people are soo sweet and always interacting!!

I’ve seen a lot of posts where people put quotes in that kinda turns yellow and looks more like a quote than if you just wrote it out like this: “quote”. (That was badly explained, i hope you understand) 🥲

I’ve been wondering how y’all are doing this? Does it just automatically happen when you copy the quote from an e-book? Cause i don’t use e-books, so my hands are getting pretty tired of having to write out each and every word 😭

Is there an easier way to do this? 🫪

I wanna start off by saying im aware PageBound is focusing on genre specific quests rather than universe/author ones and that the existing ones are quite old. This is just for fun and im curious to see what others think 🤭

Hypothetically if you were able to create a universe/author specific quest right now, which would you choose and why? The more niche and unique, the better! And ofcourse as a bonus, what badge should such quest have? :0

Im honestly unsure myself, as some authors have books that are unconnected and won’t fit nicely in a quest and some universes are so small they’ll barely fill up a side quest 😩 looking forward to seeing yall’s ideas ✨

Happy Canada Day to all of my fellow Canadians!

What is your favourite book by a Canadian author? (Preferably set in Canada!) I just finished Liberty Street by Heather Marshall and it is stuck in my mind.

Also - Historica Canada put out this compilation of Heritage Minutes today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr2UY4f75kk . Does anyone have a favourite Heritage Minute? Mine is the one on Bora Laskin: https://www.historicacanada.ca/productions/minutes/bora-laskin .

Help 🥲 I’m trying to find a book with exactly ten words in its title for a reading challenge and can’t find one beyond texts books 😂 Any suggestions?

So I've developed a little conundrum now that summer has rolled around. I've been using my phone for library-loaned ebooks and only been using physical loans when the ebook isn't available. I've noticed that when I read poolside, my phone tends to overheat (even when it's just sitting next to me unused). It's been consistently 90°F/32°C+ so I'm not surprised that I've run into this issue, but I obviously don't want to damage my phone. All this is just to ask: do ereaders overheat or get warm at all when used outdoors in higher temperatures? Double question: I can link Libby, and hence my library ebooks, to an ereader right? If the answers are no and yes respectively, I'm thinking this might be my solution, but I just wanted to get some more input. Thanks in advance and for reading this far!
