Namgi and Kirin are like Mu Qing and Feng Xin (from TGCF) with their constant bickering (and their brotherly love-hate relationship)!! 🤭

Anw, Namgi's right. Sometimes you don't find family in your own blood ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠˘⁠_⁠˘⁠)⁠┌

I'm currently reading on my kindle. So far so good. But is this better as an audiobook?

So I was wondering… how do you guys determine how big your reading challenges are? Because I’ve made mine bigger 3 times so far and was wondering how you guys determine a number. Also are there ways to add more than one challenge for yourself on Pagebound?

Hi all! I have mentioned this nonfiction reading challenge before, but I am making a post because the 2026 prompts are up today :) Since PB seems to have a strong nonfiction reader community I wanted to put the prompts up here, in case anyone else is already planning out their 2026 challenge reads... This is a challenge that has been running on a Hungarian book site for 11 years, started by community members. I took over organizing it last year, after the original creator decided they didn't want to run it anymore. This year for the first time it is also announced in English. (There is a SG challenge you can join, otherwise it's just on social media). Long-time participants have submitted their favorite prompts, and the final list was decided by random draw. The Polymath Training Challenge has 12 prompts every year, for which participants have to read non-fiction books. Memoirs and (auto)biographies count, but historical fiction and biographical novels don't. One book only counts for one prompt. Originally, participants write reviews of each book, but there is no way to check that on socials, so it is up to everyone's conscience :) Here we go!

1. Egypt
2. Sleep, dreams, dreaming
3. Astronomy and space exploration
4. Gastronomy and foods
5. Interior design, furniture
6. Chemistry
7. Mines and mining
8. Exploration and explorers
9. Art and nature
10. Agriculture
11. Economics
12. Chosen prompt: choose ONE of the following: Microbiome / Chocolate and coffee / Cultural history / Boardgames and role-playing games / Linguistics / Ethology / History of science / Cosmetics / Empathy and emotional intelligence

The challenge runs from January 1st, 2026 until December 31st, 2026.

(Note: I hope this doesn't run into guidelines of promotion... it is really not an official challenge in any sense, it is community based and just for fun for lovers of nonfiction.)

hiii i've been planning some books to read for next month and then realized the month after that would already be the first of 2026 and i really don't want to run out of time to organize my books in a unique way or miss out on some possibly cool monthly book themes or ways you're picking books from your tbr, maybe how you're grouping books to read or what topics and/or types of books you're wanting to explore in the new year!

i currently pick my books based off what really interests me, what's available on my library apps, what i own, etc. but i was curious to know if little fun themes or reading games like bingo-type with your tbr or anything like this existed!

hope this makes sense, thank you so much in advance!!

Hello all!

I recently found the PS Reading Challenge while scrolling. I completed my local library’s summer reading challenge (won a prize for my full card bingo!) and since have wanted to do a longer reading challenge. The PS Reading Challenge 2026 is good timing. Is there anyway to involve others that might want to complete this challenge as well on PB? Or am I restricted to the in app reading challenges/personal list?

Thank you to anyone that has insight/how you complete outside reading challenges. 😌

I'm so delighted this quest is live and populated! My goal is to curate a reading list of all various speculative worlds filled with queer characters and gender-diverse cultures. So to that end, I've got a few questions for you:

1. What's your favorite LGBTQ+ book in a fantasy/sci-fi/speculative genre?
2. Which upcoming book of the same sort are you most excited for?

And, if you're a long-time reader: 3) Which book would you recommend a first-time reader of the genre? 4) Which hidden gem would you recommend for a fellow seasoned reader?

Thanks for joining, and I can't wait to read and discuss books with you all!

After finishing Don’t Let The Forest In, I’m hoping this is going to be lighter.

Oh Kohtake's story made me sob out loud 😭 So beautiful yet so sad 😭
