😤 I hate Varrish so much

So, I have a tonne of schoolwork to do for grad school, including research responsibilities and assignments.

So, why did I read 10 novellas over the course of 3 days?

Does anyone else jump into books as a way to procrastinate their responsibilities and the overwhelming nature of the tasks in front of them?

Do books feel like a safe space to you? Do they make you feel less overwhelmed? Do you have other hobbies that help?

I know it's not super healthy to avoid things by reading and I ended up working on the thing I was dreading (it only took a few hours). But I was curious whether other people also did this with reading or whether it was just me?

I have always wondered how people read multiple books at once. I wish I could but I end up forgetting what happened in them because I get the plots mixed up! The most I can manage is one fiction and one non-fiction, but beyond that my brain’s scrambled! How do you guys do it - I need to know the secrets!! 🤣

hi everyone! i’m loving the “interested” tab for books and spent the morning moving books over so i can get some organization going. as i was deciding what goes where i felt the urge to create personal shelves by genre so when i plan and mood read i can find books a little easier. part of me feels like this will be a lot of upkeep but likely worth the effort and now im wondering if there’s a better system you all have that i could be inspired by.

currently, i use the planning feature to choose my “hero reads” for the month. these are the books that are the main event and my priority books; typically physical reads that are lore heavy and emotional. in between/during those is when i mood read, typically a lighter read to palette cleanse but doesn’t need to be. it can be something that just caught my eye and i didn’t think twice about picking it up and is usually an audiobook.

i’m trying to think through ways to rediscover my hero reads and mood reads easier since i often forget about a book once i mark it as tbr or interested. i forget the genre, the blurb, the subcategory of fantasy it falls under and so on.

so my question is, do you have a specific way of organizing your want-to-reads that’s different than the traditional tbr or now interested tabs? if yes, tell me more! i’m an organization nerd so don’t spare any detail, no matter how niche

Does anyone have any fun habits to share that they've noticed since starting to use PageBound?

For instance, I have really started noticing certain usernames (hello, online friends!) and it reminds me of my Tumblr days in highschool. Internet friends are friends, mom!

Also, I find myself singing " love in this club" whenever I head over to check club posts hehe

Hi! I'm new here. I just stumbled upon this app from a video on TikTok and I got curious. I'm still trying to get over my reading slump and lately, I've been re-reading my favorite stories from wattpad. I don't wanna force myself to finish everything and I just wanna take it slow this time. Thanks for letting me join here ☺️
