  • recommendations for a good series?

    hi there!! i’m looking to get into a good book series in 2026. most of this past year i read standalones, which were nice, but i miss following characters through multiple installments. the last real series i read was heroes of olympus, which is my absolute favorite, and im hoping to reread soon (even though im in my twenties). i have the mistborn series, and it’s on my tbr for 2026 but im not sure i’ll love it. i tend to love fantasy/mythology as well as dystopian. should i start off with mistborn or do you have other suggestions? thank you in advance 🫶

    Oh great. Now she’s working on AI policy. I feel so much safer knowing someone who decided to break the news of Facebook a decade too late is on the front line of the newest era of tech policy 🙄 I guess I can be glad that there might be some better awareness going into legislating the age of AI? But this book certainly doesn’t do much to make me feel better

  • • 2025 Reading Challenge •

    📚 With only seven days left in the year, I am curious to know if you have reached or are near completing your personal 2025 Reading Challenge goal here on Pagebound? I am only one book away from attaining mines (currently sitting at 50%). Yay!

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    some very good information here that clears up a lot of misinfo (especially glad cullen does so much due diligence to dispel the martyr myth and doesn't shy away from criticizing the police + media) but i'm not a fan of his narrative style nor the way he approaches discussions about the shooters' mental health—likening dylan to a bipolar experiencing a manic episode was just not fun to read as a bipolar, when we already suffer through so much stigmatization. but ultimately a very important book, which seems like it'll always be relevant. as a nation we are mostly numb to school shootings, i think, but it just continues to be sad and horrible. i really wish change was on the horizon.

  • Preferred Yearly Challenge?

    Does anyone have a preferred yearly reading challenge? For 2025 I tried Popsugar's reading challenge, but it was hard for me to finish it because of how specific the prompts are. Should I try the 52 Book Club? Or maybe try Popsugar again? I'd love to know what yearly book challenges you peeps are doing, if at all.
