I’m on holidays right now and bought a book in a language I don’t understand and I’m planning on buying a new one if I go on another trip someday.
Do you use books / book-related things as souvenirs ? I’m thinking about travzl souvenirs but it could be about other things I guess?

I saw a post on Instagram with a proposed 2025 update to the Myers-Briggs personality test that I thought was so funny link here! I’m most definitely an ITND. 😆
This made me wonder what a ✨book reading personality✨ would look like, so here is something I came up with:
lol sorry if it’s confusing!! I tried to make sure the letters weren’t doubled. Anyway, I’m an ATMN! 💁🏻♀️ What are you??

If you could have a book illustrated by any artist, living or dead, what book and what artist?
My choice would be Anne of Green Gables by John William Waterhouse.

i am turning to the people of pagebound to ask--which brand of tabs/sticky notes do you use???
i often find that, after reading and annotating my books, the sticky tabs are too strong and lift the ink of the page or even rip the page when i take them out! i stopped using them because of this but i still really want to tab up my books!!!

Tobi2x4 finished reading and wrote a review...
Set in a post apocalyptic world (the author is Canadian, and both Kitchener, Ontario and the Rockies are mentioned, so I'm guessing it's somewhere between those two locations), the main focus of the book is the few survivors we meet in the first half, how they're surviving, and how their lives intertwine.
An enjoyable and quick read, it can get a bit confusing at parts with the lack of, well, anything. That isn't inherently a bad thing, since the point is that they have basically nothing left, but it could get a bit confusing when trying to parse the direction of activity.
I found the majority of the characters interesting, and even the ones barely mentioned felt real. It's hard to explain why without context, though.
The plot was interesting, and gave the reader only about as much information as the characters themselves had. On the one hand, that can be a bit frustrating, but ultimately that's the same sort of frustration many of the characters must be feeling, too, so it works. The ending felt a bit abrupt and sudden, but it's part of a trilogy, so that's fine. (I have mixed feelings about abrupt endings.)
Overall, a solid, quick read. I'm glad I picked this up at a Little Free Library (signed, too!)

(I searched if anyone has posted something like this, so forgive me if it’s been discussed.)
How do y’all feel about mean reviews?? Personally, I think it’s unnecessary to bash a book/author if it didn’t suit your personal tastes. Like, you can say you didn’t like something without being an a-hole.
Edit: I’d like to clarify I don’t mean negative reviews, I think those are absolutely necessary. What I mean is saying stuff like “you’re stupid if you liked this” or “how did anyone enjoy this” because I think insulting other readers doesn’t foster the judgement free zone we want these apps to have.

hello everyone! i've been on a binge of rewatching the saw movies recently, and with the hype around the long walk and running man movies as well, it's had me wondering about death game books. but it seems like most of the books i end up stumbling across are romantasy. i don't have anything against romance but at the same time a lot of these books seem overwhelmingly cishet and i'm not interested in that, so i was wondering if anyone has recs for death games that either DON'T have romance at all or are some flavor of lgbt. thanks 🫶

By the end of the first book, things start to intertwine in an interesting way.
I still don't have a concrete answer about anything I'm specifically looking for, but there's been hints and glimpses and whatnot, and it's enough to pull my interest along.
Really looking forward to seeing what happens in the second half.

Hi everyone - excited to announce that Pagebound finally has merch! You can view the selection at https://store.pagebound.co/
We know this has been highly requested, and we wanted to get out a first release in time for the holidays, so what we have now is a limited run of a few items. We do have plans in the future for an expanded store with more product types (stickers of avatars & badges, mugs, etc) and more t-shirt / sweatshirt / hat designs. Let us know your other requests in the comments 😊
This was very fun to create, and we can’t wait to see everyone repping Pagebound--it’s about to be my daily uniform 🙂↕️

Hey there! I just realized I have been reading a LOT of books around various authors' takes on dragon lore - mainly because I think dragons are neat. It made me wonder what sorts of mythical creatures others liked and what books they might be reading to get their "fix".
So far I've read the first in the Temeraire and Lady Trent series and am always open to reading more!

Chapter 2 introduces the punks, and a bit more of the sci-fi nature of the book, and Chapter 3 introduces the game dev and his weird abilities.
So far, this is shaping up to be a really interesting setting. We get a hint of what happened in these chapters, but it still doesn't tell us what actually happened. I think that's really neat.

I picked this up on a whim from a Little Free Library this morning on my way to work. I believe it's even a signed copy!
So far, a single chapter in, the writing is quite nice. It establishes the overall setting, and also just how bleak it is. The first set of characters are introduced (based on the blurb it seems like there are three sets, so to speak), and they're in rough shape, but the audience has no idea why, which I found very intriguing.
