  • Book Journey & Limits to Posting On Book Forums

    I think I need some clarification on book forums. I know there's a 24-hour limit, and I know that the creators now included a Go to Forum so we can check if what we were thinking of posting already exists.

    My confusion relates to the book journey's. I love going into a book journey and checking what I posted on it, what others commented on what I shared, etc. I've also used it to share screenshots to my social media and Substack of the updates I've shared on there.

    So if there's a limit of how often we can post, doesn't it limit my book journey, as well? I used to use StoryGraph and Fable to add all those thoughts, and there's no limit there, but Pagebound is my #1 app and I don't want to use multiple book apps just for this feature—I also just love how Pagebound is so much better and much more engaging.

    I also tried updating the progress and then adding a comment, but if the progress gets updated various times during the day, I miss from what part of the book my comment on, since the progress status automatically changes to the new progress set.

    If anyone has a tip, please let me know!

    “But nobody ever asked how much are you willing to suffer. They only asked what do you want.”

    This exploration of motherhood is really interesting to me, as a new foster mom to teens it’s so weird how these things still resonate with me even though I didn’t birth them and they’re not infants but yet I still feel the push and pull of being my own person and being their foster mom.

    "Absolutely." Her [Sloane's] TA stood up ... ,reaching out his free hand for hers. "Excited to work with you this semester"

    Useless "feminist" husband who is incapable of doing anything by himself, watch out 😩 Looks like a hot young TA has entered the chat 👀😘

    Long, highly detailed historical fiction can feel like work to get into, but with this one it has been surprisingly easy to get my bearings. Im really impressed that so many characters have been introduced yet I can pretty easily differentiate them all, and can already see the social web forming between them. Plus, the steady mounting of tension and stakes is pacing out so nicely. This book is thiccccc but I have a feeling it’ll blow by quickly once we really get into the mid story

    I am hoping we get much more historical context; the brief mentions of the revolutionary war and newly ratified constitution piqued my interest, but so far the historic setting feels more like a backdrop than a central piece of the story.

    Def would have appreciated this more in my 20’s, as the majority of the book chronicles the parties, heartaches, mistakes, and trials of being broke and young in a big city. The overall message - love comes in many forms, not just romantic - was driven home well by the end, but overall I found this to be more of a quick, entertaining read than anything particularly touching and profound
