  • Summer Readalong ☀️ (+ updates) (5/1/25)

    Hey everyone! We have exactly one month left in the Spring Readalong, which means Summer 2025 Readalong picks have officially dropped. You can see all 5 selections over on the Discuss tab :) We've also squeezed in some web updates between app development: - You can now see the publication year on the Book Page below the description. Some of these dates may be the edition's pub date rather than the original publication year; this is a known data issue so apologies in advance! It will be sorted out as we get more robust book data. - Various bug improvements including preventing double user follows We have more requested feature updates in the pipeline; I'll be back soon when they're released! Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙 PS - Our community has grown so much over the past few weeks and it has been SO fun to watch everyone connect and interact. Thank you for making Pagebound such an amazing place and welcoming in our new members!!

    the fact that Snow isn't a maniac but is in fact the perfect product of a capitalistic patriarchal society

    I don't know how this is all going to wrap up. Who's going to survive this, how the three groups will reunite either. Got a busy weekend so might not start this right away but can't wait to see how this concludes. I'm excited to wrap up this series though, and kinda sad too because it's been so good!

    yes this book kept me up til 3am reading 😭 only reason it wasn't 5 star was because i was underwhelmed with Tane's storyline--it felt simplistic and too convenient, even by the end. Love love loved Ead and Sabran's arcs--never have I felt such complex emotions for a monarch, someone born with so much privilege

    Thoughts from 5% (page 20)

    Rereading this for the first time in almost a year as a part of my book club this month. This was my pick as most of my fellow book club members haven’t read it and so far they’re really enjoying it! It’s crazy coming back to the beginning after being caught up with the series and catching all the things I haven’t noticed the first time, like how Uncle Narol’s son’s name is “Loran”, which is “Narol” backwards. I also love how early on we see Darrow’s personality and how that has shaped him. So excited to return to this book series.

    Finished!

    I loved and cared more about the character growth of Elsy than the romance part but that was still fun to read. But it took me a looonggg time to warm up to Anders lol, love him now though.
