Is there anyone whose books you immediately pre-order before barely checking what they're about? For me it's: - Kristen Britain - Lucy Holland - Adrienne Young - Laini Taylor

Are you a mood reader or do you strictly abide by your TBR for the month?? I have a monthly and yearly tbr and I seldom follow it š I'm afraid I'm a notorious mood reader āš

What is on everyoneās Holds list at their library or on their library app like Libby and Hoopla? My library allows 10 holds on Libby, but often has really long waits. I was scrolling through available titles and there are so many good books releasing and just not enough hold slots for me š„¹ Right now I have these 10 books on hold.

Just wanted to drop in and say hi to everyone! I just created my account. I'm excited to use this website. I am still figuring things out on here but just wanted to say hi to everyone! š āŗļø I found Page Bound through an Instagram ad. So far, I am loving the website. I think the graphics are so cute, and the formatting is amazing.

Do you guys own many books? I never did growing up because I went to the library. Even now,I only buy books that I have read and loved. But seeing people on social media's own walls full of books has made me curious about other people's habits. So, I would love to hear about your habits. Do you buy books right away? Do you read all of the ones you buy? How many do you own/do you get rid of many?

Ahh booktok, so controversial. But we love it anyways hehe. Because I thrive on highly opinionated discussion, please don't hold back! (BUT, because we are all kind, educated readers, let's not be hateful towards people who have different opinions than we do ;) That being said, I'll go first: *inhales slowly* Fourth Wing is meh and Iron flame was almost impossible to get through... the hype, I just don't understand it!! Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I just found out about pagebound and fell in love with how colourful & fun it is! I mainly read fantasy, thrillers, romance & sci-fi, but I'll read anything that takes my fancy. I'm also a huge mood & seasonal reader - currently on a big romance kick for summerš Can't wait to get chatting about books & add to my ever-growing TBR! To get started on recs, what was your most recent 5-star read?š

Do you ever read a terrible book, or one that frustrated you enough to give it 1-2 stars and get the urge to write a detailed review to blow off steam? I've done it a couple of times for terrible books, but if I'm critical of something I like doing it right. But my favorite thing to do in these scenarios is to put in all my skill in the English language to write a structured essay that my old English teachers would've been proud of, all so that I could hate on the book in peace.

Hi everyone!! I discovered Pagebound a few days ago (thank you instagram ads!!) and have already become obsessed. I'm a huge fan of fantasy (epics and folklore), romance (naturally), and historical fiction (specifically ancient history and mythology!!). I also love writing myself, so books with unique or advanced writing styles really appeal to me. Really excited to be here and start interacting with you guys!! <3

Hi everyone! Newbie here but already really enjoying Pagebound š Like the title says I'm mostly into fantasy, dark academia and historical fiction, but I do love a good litfic and I'd love to expand into other genres. My recent favourites are the Little Thieves trilogy, Babel, Blood Over Bright Haven, Ninth House duology and Betty so if any of those titles are your jam I'd love to talk about them š« Looking forward to making friends on here š And would love to hear any recs in any genre really š

cabeiro commented on karigan's review of Yours Truly (Part of Your World, #2)
Yours Truly is such a conflicting read for me. Jacob is now in my top three favorite characters of all time (with Katniss and Emily Wilde) which is significantly increasing how much I liked the book. But I couldnāt stand Brianna and the plot felt so forced. Fake dating is a big no for me. It feels like lazy writing getting the characters to fall in love without actually doing the work to get them to fall in love. Theyāre already going through the motions of a relationship and ultimately not communicating, making the book overly frustrating. Itās obvious that they have feelings for each other but to push the plot forward we all have to act like they arenāt overtly in loveā¦okay. And the conflict felt forced and rushed as well. If Jacob and Brianna were being true to character, the basement scene would have never happened without more āprecautionsā. Jacob is too anxious and Brianna is too scarred to ever let what happened as a result of that scene happen. (I hope this makes sense with my spoiler free wording). Jacob truly was the saving grace of this book. Iād reread it just to be in his mind again as I truly felt seen by him. The overthinking was so well written. Itās not just āoh Iām anxious sometimesā, itās āI will think through every possible scenario for every little thing in my life and if thereās a scenario I canāt make 100% sense of Iām not doing it because uncontrolled variables are going to ruin my lifeā. For him alone, I want to continue reading more Abby Jimenez books to see what other wonderful characters she brings to life ā¤ļø

I DNF'd this series after crown of midnight. They were š¤·āāļø just fine, and I felt like I had other TBR priorities. But I've heard so many many folks say that the series as a whole is so good. Should I give it another go?
