I have a very very long list and I'd love to hear how you choose your next read?

Curious what everyone's listening to while they're reading? This is my current favorite from Spotify and figured I'd share the ambiance with everyone. Fantasy Book Ambiance

I have a vacation coming up HOT and while I'm excited for the trip itself, I'm also excited to have a bunch of time I can read! Do you have a preferred genre to read on vacation or method of picking out books? One of my friends likes lighter happy books (maximum relaxation I get it!). I'm the opposite and take on more involved books (The Priory of the Orange Tree is on my list for the plane!) since I can actually devote brain power to it that usually is sapped by work. It does varies a little for me depending on the type of vacation (sitting at the beach all day vs. running around exploring). I'm curious what other people like to do!

Do you guys ever read multiple books at the same time or mainly read one at a time? Sometimes I have this urge I want to start another series or standalone book in tandem with another series I already started to read. But knowing myself I feel like I would mix the two details up when I read? It’s hard for me to jump around from one plot and then a whole new plot/world/char.

I just saw a quiz (readyourcolor.com) on tik tok that tells you what kind of reader you are and I thought it’d be fun to share here! There is a good mix of fiction and non-fiction and instead of telling you what genres you like to read, it tells you what you tend to like in a book. It’s 24 short book descriptions that you say how likely you are to read and then at the end you get assigned a color with book recommendations for that color group. I’ll share my results in the comments :)

was just wondering if there are any non fic appreciators on here. Been trying to find people with similar taste.

I've found it soooo hard to finish a book lately, like my reading slump is out of control. I'm dying for tips or suggestions. I'm open to anything. Before you ask, yes the big three is at play here (depression, anxiety, adhd). Thank you beautiful (or handsome) people. ETA: grammer ETA: omg yall are the best. these are really helpful. i will definitely change reading mediums more. I just feel so guilty for stopping reading. But yall are the best :')

Every year, I set a reading goal, and I usually push myself to read more. However, in the past couple of months, I started thinking that maybe I actually want to read less. I still want to achieve my reading goals, but I have surpassed them quite a bit. So, I'm reading a lot, which isn't a bad thing, but I think that it's taking away my appreciation for some of the books I read, especially the ones I enjoy. I may have taken the time to write a review, but then I jumped right to the next one and that's that. So, this is the year to appreciate the good reads more. :)

I’m curious—how did you decide on your avatar when you joined Pagebound? I originally picked the goth/emo-looking girl because her haircut was similar to mine. I almost went with the little green witch because she has such a cool vibe, but in the end, I chose my current avatar since I’m a total sucker for romance books. Don’t be surprised if I switch to the little green witch at some point, I just feel drawn to her! I’d love to hear your stories! Did you pick your avatar because it looks like you, fits your favorite genre, or just because it’s cute?

Hi guys I was wondering how many books do yall have your tbr? And if you think you could finish them all before 2026???
