Hi! I really want to start listening to audiobooks but i can’t find a decent app that i like. I’m italian and i live in Italy and we don’t have things like Libby. I tried Audible but idk, I really don’t want to support Amazon more than I (unfortunately) do. I would also love audiobooks with different people narrating! Maybe it’s too much to ask😭. Do you have any recommendations?

Alright, so I can assume all us Boundlings like tracking our reading to some extent given our presence on this app. But I’m curious how many people have their own methods of journaling/tracking off of apps like this!

Last year I primarilly used a complex spreadsheet to track my reading, but this year I scored a dot grid journal from my secondhand craft store right in January so I could set up a bullet journal for my reading! It’s been fun, but I’m always nosy about what other people are doing 👀 digital tracking, bullet journal, guided reading journal, what are yalls thoughts and what matters most to you when tracking?

My journal:

• Bookshelf page for annual reads where I draw a bunch of books on a shelf & then write in the titles on the slimes as I finish books
• ARC tracking page (that is…dead on arrival. I have been really neglecting my arc reviews 😭)
• Bookclub Page for tracking our pick each month, if me vs my cohost ran it, my rating, groups avg rating, and attendance
• Physical TBR tracker, by genre, and I get to color in the dot by each book when I finish one (but have to add more if I buy more books 🙂‍↕️)
• Buzzwordathon Page (hosted by BooksandLala) to track what books fulfill the monthly prompts
• Year at a Glance where each month has a box where I put my total # read, breakdown by format, and the best & worst titles of each month

And that’s all I’m tracking rn for my first year! My reviews all get typed on here so I didn’t see a point in writing them by hand as well. But I’d love to hear if y’all have any other types of spreads you enjoy updating to get ideas 🤩

I just completed my 2026 reading goal of 24 books and made a teary little post on my profile. I wanted to jump on here to a more public space and proudly declare my love and appreciation for Lucy and Jennifer, and all the Boundlings. I love and appreciate you!!!!!! I never thought I would get back to reading as much as I did when I was younger. I honestly just thought that part of me was gone. I've had year long breaks without reading anything. At most I've maybe read 4 books in a year in the last decade. When I joined PB at the start of the year and added my reading challenge, I first set myself 12 books. One a month seemed reasonable to me. Then I decided you know what, let's go for the stars lol. So I doubled it to 24, thinking I would never get anywhere near it but it would be a nice goal to aim for. The fact I've done this in 4 months is mind blowing to me. I've been easy on myself and read a LOT of comfort fantasy, but I also threw in some new reads!

Thank you to everyone who contributes to this community, you are literally helping to save my life. Reading your posts and thoughts has helped me find myself again ❤️

Has anyone else found that they have absolutely smashed (or are nearing) their 2026 reading goal thanks to PB??

Hello! Happy Sunday. 🌷

Recently, I realized that I visit Pagebound more than any other website! It's definitely surpassed Instagram, and I'm so glad for it.

How often do you visit PB? When you are here, what do you do? Do you scroll your entire feed or do you just check the latest posts? Do you browse the Pagebound Club? Do you just look for new books? Tell me!

Edit: typos.

Saw this on my facebook and intended to sent it privately to my best friend but I messed up and share it on my profile for all my FB friends to see. It became a happy accident because my book friends (whom haven't talked to in a while) engaged on the post and we had fun on roasting my chaotic evil friends.

I'm lawful evil. You?
