    Probably because he was irritatingly skilled at his job.

    This is my aspiration henceforth: to be irritatingly skilled. Jokes aside , I had almost forgotten how good of a palette cleanser Hazelwood is. Her writing continues to be refreshing , there's this delicious bite to it –fluid and humour laden

  • Goodreads who?!

    Guys… I’m thinking about deleting Goodreads 🫣 I don’t check it anymore and I mainly update here. I’ll be sad to not see what my friends are reading but also talk to those who I actually keep up with.

    Anyone have any similar feelings?? Should I keep both for a little longer?

  • Winter Readalong Picks + Some Updates [10/27/25]

    The Winter Readalong picks are here! To see the selections (and the badge!) on web, head to the Discuss tab and click “View Winter Picks” by the Fall 2025 Readalong header. On the app, go to the Seasonal Readalong screen from the More menu (sorry app users, you’ll have to go to web to see the badge preview; I’ll add the badge in the next app update!) The Winter readalong starts December 1st and runs through the end of February. Recommend checking wait times at your library and planning ahead! (note: we are only doing 4 books instead of 5 starting this winter to make room for Special Events)

    For our new users: Each season, Top Contributors vote on a selection of books to read as a community. You earn a special badge for reading one of the books and commenting or posting in the forum during the readalong.

    Additional exciting updates! (NOTE: these are currently on web only, they will be available on the app with the next app release!)

    MUTING BOOKS! yes yes yes you can now mute a book. When you mute a book, it removes all posts from that book’s forum from you Main feed, My Books feed, All Books feed, and Following feed. If someone you follow comments on a post, or posts in the forum, of a muted book you will not see it. You will however still see “reading status updates” from followers who engage with muted book. You can mute a book from the “...” menu on a post, or from the Book Status modal. To unmute a book, go to the Settings page (gear icon on your profile) and click “Manage Muted Books”

    You can now mark a book as “owned” and filter your library shelves by "owned" books! While it works perfectly well to have a custom “owned” shelf, a separate toggle was highly requested (mini tip: you can add books to custom shelves right from the book status modal - you do not need to search for & add them from the shelf page).

    Feed updates: we removed TBR books from your My Books feed and Main Feed entirely. We know how sensitive spoilers can be, and folks have different definitions of what constitutes a spoiler, so this is the safest option. We will have a way to customize this in the future if you prefer to see them. We also removed any activity related to the Pagebound Club from your main and following feeds. The club still exists as it always has for those that enjoy engaging, but for those that would rather opt-out, you won’t be forced to see PB club content in your feed. You will still have activity items on your profile from any Pagebound Club activity; it just will not be pushed to your followers.

    For our app users: if you’d like to mute books now before the update is released, just log in on web, mute the books, and both your web and app feeds will be updated. You can do the same for “owned” books, however the filter won’t appear until the next update.

    Thanks everyone and happy reading! Jennifer & Lucy

    was really excited about this community, but being unable to express an unpopular but non-harmful opinion without receiving insults and hate and downvotes is not a fun experience. People repeatedly misrepresented my opinion, and instead of engaging would just down-vote and move on. This is just like every other social media site I've been on with an upvote/downvote system. Much prefer sites that have a like/report system instead. I have heard all the feedback that my opinions are not welcome here

    reposted bc the only person who commented was someone who was also arguing with me, so their comment was in bad faith. I blocked them. before you judge me for one comment (I mentioned that seeing bengin positivity as negative is a sign of depression) look at the first comments in the thread I had that blew up, and you can see I was pretty straightforward, and then immediately this guy pounced one saying I'm overreacting and that it's not a big deal, and kept straw manning me. Basically Reddit ass shit, so yes, I am leaving. if you guys want to have a culture where every unpopular opinion is downvoted to oblivion, cool

    “‘So strong,’ you said, tilting your head to take me in the way a jeweler might a perfectly cut diamond.”

    I love how evocative this phrase is, and how much it shows already about their complicated relationship to come, like when later she describes his love as “corrective care.” The narrative voice is so strong even in these first few pages, which always gets me hooked, especially with it being so thematically appropriate.
