    Thoughts from 80% - I'm unhinged

    I have so many theories my brain is about to explode. The ending of this story could really make my jaw hit the floor if some of them are true (but maybe I just feel like coming up with unhinged scenarios)

    Thoughts from 62% - Am I missing smth

    I like Henry but her books are so hit or miss for me. I was so excited for this and so many people have been raving it but I'm about to DNF bc I just can't get myself to care about the characters more than like a *twinge* of intrigue...

    Thoughts from 29% - I'm invested

    At this point in the book we're already covering the two stories and I'm super invested. After reading so many flops this year it's so nice to have a good, compelling story to immerse myself into

  • Have you ever changed your reading challenge number half way through the year?

    At the beginning I set my reading challenge at 24 books, thinking "on average, two books per month sounds like an achievable goal". But then not only I had to juggle between work and university, I had to endure a reading slump that stopped me from opening a book from like, april to july. I'm slowly starting to read again and i'm super happy about it but I decided to change my goal from 24 to 12 and it's the first time i've done this. I know life is life and sometimes you have to slow down a bit but I guess this hit me because during the pandemic my reading numbers sky-rocketed because (sadly) I had a lot of time available back then, and ever since my yearly book numbers have dropped. I don't know, any thoughts? Have you ever changed your number in the middle of the year or do you maintain it even if you know you won't make it?

  • Overwhelmed with options

    Do you ever feel like there are so many books you want to read that you can't start reading at all? I'm in a major reading slump and the worst part is that I have tons of time on my hands. I keep adding books to my tbr, but I can't seem to get to any of them and keep wanting to read all of them😭😭😭.

  • Reader's block, HELP

    I think I'm on a reader's block. A couple of weeks ago I finished with all of my college stuff and now that I have time to read my body just won't lol. The thing is I DO want to read, but instead I spend time on my phone doing nothing. Any tips, short book recs anything is welcome.

  • Ultimate fantasy and/or romance must-reads

    Hi everyone ✨ I'm new here and stoked to be able to connect with people with similar tastes (or different). Thought i'd put in a post asking for your ultimate romance reads and ultimate fantasy reads? I've had a terrible time of late reading unknown romance books and DNF'ing quite violently when I hit insta-love. Yearning is underrated and my Fantasy/Gothic reads come almost completely from BookTubers (my library holds a lot of older, classic fantasy when i'm more interested in the contemporary side myself), so i'm hoping you all can open my eyes to more options I may not have heard of. Tysm in advance 🤍

  • I'm happy to have come across Pagebound!

    I'm excited about the app, but I've found that I'm enjoying the website even more than what I expected to! I'm not sure if it's because it kind of feels peaceful not being on my phone (since it's became an extension of work for me), or if it just reminds me of simpler times, when I didn't have a phone and life felt less fast-paced. Either way, it's amazing to have something like this when everything else is filled with AI.
