I sometimes find it hard to find time to sit down and dedicate time to reading during the week other than bedtime or when I'm at lunch/having a short break at work. I have two littles, one in diapers and one who just started school, who take up most of my time (obviously). I do find some time on the weekends to really read through most of my books and I read well into the night when it's a good one (I read Quicksilver in one weekend) but I think there is some way to find more time during the actual week to read as well. Any advice is appreciated 🙏🏻🖤

I usually read a few books at a time, one on audiobook and a couple physical books, which means it can take me longer to get through some of them. But I've noticed that since using Pagebound, I've been getting through them more quickly. I think part of it has to do with how my "Currently Reading" books are front and center when I go to make a post in the forum, and I'm shamefully reminded of the lack of progress I've made on some of them, haha! The outcome is positive though, because it helps me get back on track to finish them!

Anyone else noticed the amount/speed of their reading has increased since using Pagebound?

i’m craving stars hollow in print. small town vibes, fast banter, mother–daughter heartbeat, found family, lots of coffee. light romance is cool, big angst not so much.

hit me with your recs and tell me: ➡️ what vibe it nails: quirky town, autumn feels, bookish settings ➡️ spice level: closed door to mild preferred ➡️ why it scratched the gilmore itch for you

bonus: rate it on a cozy scale out of 5 mugs ☕️ and if you’re extra, tell me which season it feels like. season 3 energy? i’m in.

i’ll be collating all your recs into a list and sharing it back with the thread!

Motherhood has been beautiful and, if I’m honest, really isolating at times. Days blur into feeds and nap attempts, and my brain felt like it was on pause.

Then I found Pagebound.

Suddenly I had something small and bright to look forward to. Quests turned my 20-minute reading sprints into little wins. The forums felt like real conversation again, the kind where someone gets excited with you about a chapter or gently points you to a new author. The club threads nudged me into genres I never thought I’d try, and it felt like opening a door back to myself.

To the team, thank you for building a space that is thoughtful and kind and quietly motivating. 🥹❤️

To the community, thank you for the warmth, the spoiler tags, the recs that keep my lukewarm tea company at 2 a.m., and the feeling that I’m not reading alone. You’ve made this season softer and a lot less isolating. I’m grateful for every ping, every prompt, every page. 💛📚
