I sometimes find it hard to find time to sit down and dedicate time to reading during the week other than bedtime or when I'm at lunch/having a short break at work. I have two littles, one in diapers and one who just started school, who take up most of my time (obviously). I do find some time on the weekends to really read through most of my books and I read well into the night when it's a good one (I read Quicksilver in one weekend) but I think there is some way to find more time during the actual week to read as well. Any advice is appreciated 🙏🏻🖤

Motherhood has been beautiful and, if I’m honest, really isolating at times. Days blur into feeds and nap attempts, and my brain felt like it was on pause.

Then I found Pagebound.

Suddenly I had something small and bright to look forward to. Quests turned my 20-minute reading sprints into little wins. The forums felt like real conversation again, the kind where someone gets excited with you about a chapter or gently points you to a new author. The club threads nudged me into genres I never thought I’d try, and it felt like opening a door back to myself.

To the team, thank you for building a space that is thoughtful and kind and quietly motivating. 🥹❤️

To the community, thank you for the warmth, the spoiler tags, the recs that keep my lukewarm tea company at 2 a.m., and the feeling that I’m not reading alone. You’ve made this season softer and a lot less isolating. I’m grateful for every ping, every prompt, every page. 💛📚

Idk guys, these great reviews have me super confused? I really loved Truth According to Ember and how chatacters were allowed to be messy adults, everyone felt real. This one is feeling like characters are check marks on tropes list and the dialogue was written to hand hold white folk through Native talking points. I'm having a hard time liking Avery, she feels super young and naive, but isn't? Fingers crossed for some development in the home stretch 😬

Winter is rolling in (soonish), and I’ve got my blanket, tea, and candle all lined up… now I just need the book that will keep me turning pages while my baby hopefully naps longer than 20 minutes. 😅

I’m craving cozy whodunnits, twisty mysteries, or anything with that “snow outside, secrets inside” vibe. The only catch is that as a new mom, I don’t have the luxury of slow burns right now. I need books that hook me fast and make me forget the laundry pile staring at me from across the room.

So tell me, what are your go-to winter comfort reads or unputdownable mysteries? Give me the titles that made you stay up way too late on a cold night (bonus points if they pair well with lukewarm tea because, let’s be honest, I never drink it hot anymore). 🕵️‍♀️📚☕✨

What are your thoughts on sprayed edges?

I think they're gorgeous. However, I think they're being over done. It doesn't stand out or make the book unique anymore.

If you consume literature across different mediums, what would you estimate your balance is? Obviously it can fluctuate, but I’m curious to see the community’s preferred consumption method.

Mine is roughly as follows:

Paper books: 60% eBooks: 30% Audiobooks: 10%
