Yesterday I deleted Instagram again For the sake of my own mental health. But I still want to see some lifestyle, book, feminism, home decor, gardening content. All the things I stayed on Instagram for for so long.

So my question: do you have some feel good youTubers? The ones you actually are excited when they post a new video. The ones who dont brainrot you but you rather feel better and smarter after watching them. Just like our pagebound Vibe here :)

Languages could be English or German.

Thank you for your help!

Love the fireplace! It’s so cozy and just brings a little bit of joy everytime I look at it:)

Do you guys feel like you have an equilibrium when it comes to the number of books you’re reading? I just thought about this, since I’ve been trying really hard to cut down (a bit) on the number of books I’m reading at the same time, but whatever I do I always end up reading 5 books at once. I feel this might be my personal state of equilibrium which provides my brain with enough different topics to choose from and maybe trying to cut down on that number is wasted effort…? How does it work for you? I’m curious to hear your thoughts™️

I've struggled a lot with being a passive reader and more often than not I tend to forget a lot of things I read. It's frustrating too when I know a book has a message between the lines, or when there are more underlying themes being presented. If you were to ask me to analyze a passage I would struggle and I feel really frustrated and dumb sometimes for it. Especially when it comes to books that have more political themes like sci-fi with social commentary, I feel like I sometimes have to be spoon fed or see what others have to say to fully understand or see the big picture.

I have tried annotating and tabbing before but sometimes my annotations feel very surface level (like literally just my reactions like "omg" or "no way" or a sad face emoji lol) or I just get too lost in the flow of reading that I don't want to take 30 seconds to write or underline something and I end up with very sparse annotations.

Are there any practical ways you guys get more out of your books beyond just reading the words on the page and vibing it out? And how do you annotate audiobooks? :(( i really want to become a more intentional reader this year !!!!

i saw someone make a post abt icks so i wanted to know what makes you guys giggle and kick ur feet when ur reading! my top one has to be where a character tears off a piece of their clothing to bandage the others wounds AHH its so cute always no matter how many times i see it!!

Her mom is hilarious 😂 I can totally imagine it though. If no one else would listen to this, how could her mom not? It's been a minute since I've had an FMC without mommy or daddy issues

As PageBound gets bigger and bigger, I start to see new names! I’d love to learn things about all those new to PB, and those I’ve seen for quite some time but want to learn more about and know where all my fellow readers are around the world!

My name is Sam (she/her) and I live in the hot state of Arizona. I’m 26 years old, and I got back into reading about 3 years ago. My favorite genre is Fantasy or Dystopian (always sapphic, hence the name😉) and I have a hard time reading books less than 250 pages because I need DETAILS!🤣 My all-time favorite book is Charon Docks at Daylight by Z. Reed, a sapphic zombie book I’ve now read multiple times over. A fun(more like funny) fact about me is a have a phobia to cotton balls. Crazy right? No, but actually everything is wrong about cotton balls. Their density, weight, the feel of them. All of it gives me the chills and I break out in a sweat if I see one.

Please don’t feel pressured to give the same info as me. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I can’t wait to meet more of you and learn more about you!🫶🏻
