  • Reading goal

    I completed my reading goal of 31 books and decided to put it at 40 books for now. I was wondering how's everyone managing their goal, do you set a goal high at the start of the year or do you set a goal you now you can achieve and then update it I personally prefer to update it as i go bc i feel less pressured

  • Non-Fiction Recommendations

    Okay, so I avoided non-fiction because it just... didn't seem interesting to me at all. But this summer readalong "I'm Glad My Mom Died" piqued my interest a lot and I actually really enjoyed the read. I tried looking up non-fiction books similar but it's an overwhelming list. I was curious if anyone had any other recommendations? I'd ideally like to focus on autobiographies/memoirs, but I'm open to anything. I'd love to expand what I read a bit more!

    It feels a bit heavy, but very informative and interesting.

  • Fantasy recs

    I feel like I haven’t had the best luck with fantasy books. I’ve probably only given one or two a full 5 stars. So I’m here asking for recs. If you had to pick just one fantasy book that’s at the top of your list, what would it be? And if picking one is way too hard, feel free to give me your top three. Bonus points if it doesn’t have spice. No shade to anyone who likes it in their fantasy or romantasy of course, but I think I prefer the spice in just my romance reads.

    I haven't gotten very far yet, but it feels promising. Not to mention I am always down for historical fiction!

    I have seen the book "floating" around and decided to give the audiobook a try while working on overnight shift at my job.

    Short stories usually aren't on the radar for me. But this was entertaining and kept me turning the page for each story. While I was reading, I felt like it was a commentary of sorts on life and some of the things that we experience.

  • Fictional Boyfriend/Girlfriend?

    I don't know why I was thinking about this, but does anyone have a character from a book that they would consider to be their fictional boyfriend/girlfriend? It's been a while, but my fictional boyfriend is the main character Ben from the book series "The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman." I still consider him to be my one and only fictional boyfriend.

    I’m only a few minutes in and already obsessed, trying not to get too excited in case it crashes and burns 😅

  • Rating A DNF? 👀

    I've seen a few videos on my TikTok fyp discussing rating books you DNF. I haven't ever, especially because I'm only getting 1-2 chapters in sometimes. But, I saw a comment saying being able to get through a book is obviously the objective, so why wouldn't you leave a rating about why you couldn't do that? That got me thinking about it again for the books I do get a decent bit through (I recently got 50% into a DNF). I think Pagebound also provides a unique opportunity to give that feedback in the feed rather than a review. What do you think? Are you rating DNFs? Only rating them if you get to a certain point or if it's THAT bad?
