I mean time of day specifically, though you're welcome to respond with other time frames if you'd like! Personally, I like reading at night best. Reading right before bed is the best feeling ever. I love drifting off in the middle of the page; maybe I wake up to put my book away, or maybe I just end up falling asleep next to it. I sometimes end up losing my place or realize that I don't quite remember the last chapter that I read while half-asleep, but that's okay XD But then sometimes I end up reading for hours past a reasonable bedtime, and I sorely regret it in the morning haha. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's had this problem, but I sure wish I had more hours in the day to read! I know a lot of people try to read during their commutes, but I personally find myself feeling rushed/unfulfilled when I do this. But as a somewhat busy person myself, I find myself reading in little chunks like this throughout the day is often the ONLY way to keep up with my reading goal.

Hello all! While the age old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is a good lesson to live by particularly in reference to people, I think we've all found ourselves buying a book or being offput by one based on the cover once or twice (or many times beyond that). I recently subscribed to a fantasy book subscription box and the covers are absolutely GORGEOUS. I'll be the first to admit that a pretty book has a way of enticing me, even if its just enticing me to read the back cover. So, I thought I'd pose this question to the masses of Pagebound and give myself an oppurtunity to not only get book recommendations (perhaps), but also look at some beautiful covers. So, what are some of your favorite books covers? They don't even have to be books you've read (or even liked), but a cover that captivated or stuck with you. I'd love to hear your top picks, and hopefully they'll inspire even more books on to my TBR. Some of my personal favorites: The "Emily Wilde" series by Heather Fawcett. I haven't read all three yet, but I'm obsessed with the covers. I don't typically buy hard cover copies of books, but the original US "Encyclopaedia of Faeries" cover was so beautiful to me. I haven't yet read "A Study in Drowning" by Ava Reid , but the cover of both the first and second book I love. Another book I haven't read, but love the cover, "Anatomy" by Dana Schwartz. It's simple but so effective! I'm eager to hear your favorites!

I follow this creator on instagram, Steven J. Reese, who is currently reading a book set in each of the 50 U.S. states. I love this project and have been really inspired by it. Personally, I've been trying to expand the scope of what books I read, particularly trying to read from different parts of the world (shoutout to women in translation!) I majored in English in college and the texts we read were largely from the States or Europe, particularly Britain. I've recently read a few books by Korean authors, Tender is the Flesh (Argentinian), amongst others. To keep track of my progress I'm thinking of both creating a few lists on Pagebound and also getting a physical map to check off the places where I've 'read from.' If you have any recommendations or want to follow along let me know!

I have been on Pagebound for a few months now and I genuinely think that Pagebound is such a wonderful idea come to fruition. I’ve been using other bookish apps for years and never felt inclined to post written reviews when I’m done with the books (I feel too intimidated sometimes especially when I feel differently about the books and the book community can be harsh 😰). But on Pagebound, the no pressure ability to post my thoughts at random intervals throughout the book helped me develop the confidence to post reviews on the books I finished reading as well and I’m starting to find joy in that. I’m glad I stumbled upon this site. It’s been magnificent and the community is amazing. Thank you so much!! ☺️

The writing in this is so stunning, the author really does an amazing job with setting the scene and providing an image for the reader to attach to as he gets into the science. It's so evocative without being overwhelming, and the science is explained in a thorough but easily comprehensible manner too
