  • Possible Book-Club

    So I’m not sure if this is the appropriate place to ask this but I wasn’t sure where else to post it.

    My therapist suggested that I either join or start a virtual book club in order to meet people.

    If I did start a book club we would only read classic novels since most of those are in the public domain and so would be the easiest to access.

    I did find a website that allowed you to join/make a bookclub. Here is the link if anyone is interested: https://bookclubs.com/join-a-book-club/online

    If you are interested please either comment on this post or if there is a DM feature on Pagebound.

    I don’t want the group to be big one as to not overwhelm me or the group members. I’m thinking about 4-5 people in the group.

    Hopefully this doesn’t get me in trouble 😅

  • Recommendation of books with time travel

    Hey, could you guys recommend me any books with some kind of time travel: past lives, loops, parallel timelines, memories or changes of destiny?

    I have already read; The Midnight Library, See You Yesterday and I’m currently reading The Seven Year Slip.

  • how often do you buy new books?

    I convinced my dad to take me to a local used/new bookstore (my dad is a very bookish man, and as a kid, he'd be cheap when it came to me and my brother's toys, but books? Totally different story pfft) and get me a book for Valentine's day, and now I'm wondering how often you guys buy new books and what factors into that.

    I haven't bought a new book in months and months, but I moved recently so that's been a pretty large factor in book buying. (Can't buy a book if you're packing, can't buy a book when you're unpacking. Sad times...) But! I also moved right next to a library so that's been supplying me well.

    If libraries weren't so easy to come by in my city, I'd spend a lot more money on books, probably.

    (I got A Psalm for the Wild-Built and An Unkindness of Ghosts!!! Super excited for these!!)

  • Thrifting Books

    For people that thrift, how do you personally go about it?

    I get the majority of my books off of Thriftbooks, I know some people have had bad experiences with them but I personally have only ever gotten one book that wasn't the quality described, and when I contacted them they immediately sent me a replacement, so I like them a lot.

    I wish I had thrift stores near me that had books I would actually want to read, not much in terms of speculative fiction around here 😭

    I've tried looking at Pangobooks, but it kind of intimidates me idk why 😅 I feel like the website never works well for me and feels unintuitive, have any of you tried it and liked it?

  • Your Most Niche Non-Fiction

    I adore it when someone writes a book about something incredibly specific just because they're passionate about it.

    Thought I'd ask and see what's the (in your opinion) book you own/have read with the most niche subject matter? I say non-fiction but I suppose fiction works too, I just would be less sure how to define it

    I have a degree in a pretty obscure subject (not specifying to avoid doxxing myself lol) but I don't think anything I read for that comes close to 'The Construction of Race in Les Misérables Fanworks' by Dr Nemo Martin XD . Hopefully I'll be able to think of some others I know of...

    I feel every book, no matter how obscure, has it's audience Does anyone have any niche non-fiction they like?
