Hmm… still making up my mind about this book. There are a lot of clever mechanics ( obviously borrowed from video games) to keep you turning the pages. Don’t know what kind of guy Carl is or what kind of view the author wants to present about the world. Trying to take my gender studies degree glasses off and just have fun, but I’m getting some yellow to orange flags.

Hello :)

I’m new to Pagebound and would love to hear if anyone else is a slow reader like me! I always am amazed at how people can read 50-100+ books a year and I’m usually at about a measly 10-12 😅

Any other slow readers out there?

Hello friends! We're six days into 2026, and already there are so many new people—welcome!—which has me reflecting on how Pagebound made my life better in 2025 and how I hope it will make all of yours better in 2026. Whether you've been here for a few days or a few months, I would love to hear how Pagebound has made your life better and in what ways it's changed you.

For me, I've started thinking about what I'm reading more, since participating in discussions necessitates having actual thoughts. This has translated to me enjoying the books I'm reading more, and then to me overall loving reading more. I love getting to yap about books in a community that wants to hear it. On top of that, Pagebound has given me some amazing friends that I wouldn't trade for the world. I love this online community so much, and I'm so looking forward to meeting new friends this year. 🥰
