  • Long chapters or short chapters?

    Do you guys prefer long chapters or short chapters?? I definitely prefer the short ones bc I feel like I'm reading more and it make me like the book more from the start(help idk how to explain it). The long chapters make me feel almost bored sometimes😭 idk if I what I have just said make sense

  • Tips for a Slow Reader?

    Hey guys! So I’ve been getting more into reading (in part because of Pagebound) but I’m struggling a lot. I read around 10 pages an hour which is incredibly slow and I’d like to read at least 30 pages an hour at some point. I find myself compulsively rereading lines because I’m worried I don’t understand. Occasionally I’ll feel myself getting into the book and really speeding up but then I’ll stop myself and go back to make sure I read every single word. For some context I have dyslexia but as a kid this never stopped me from devouring books. Any tips? (I know it’s not bad to be a slow reader but I’d like to speed myself up a bit)

  • Buddy read: let's populate forums for lesser known books

    I was looking at the stuff I read, and I notice there is not a lot of forum posting because it's not as trendy.

    I'm sure some of you have had this problem.

    I think it would be fun if we buddy read titles to populate the forums.

    If you're interested, maybe put a title you're interested in reading in the comments and see if people want to join you.

    Worst case, people get more niche recommendations of future books to pick up.

    Thoughts from 16%

    Maybe it's just because of my own personal feelings about religion, but the vibes I'm getting from this book so far is very much giving opiate of the masses. Feels like there's some sort of larger scheme afoot 🧐

    describe a book in the most simple way you can and let people guess

    Iā€˜ve seen this scattered around the internet before, and almost exclusively have a great time reading these kinds of ā€šbad’ descriptions. I couldn’t find something like this on pagebound, so I thought we could try. (be aware that this might end up kinda spoiler-y for one book or the other)

    so, the idea is: you break down the plot as simple as you can, for example in a single sentence, and let people guess what book you’re talking about.

    Iā€˜ll start: woman sparks revolution by acting like she’s about to kill herself.
