Is there any way to add or edit an edition of a book?

As PageBound gets bigger and bigger, I start to see new names! I’d love to learn things about all those new to PB, and those I’ve seen for quite some time but want to learn more about and know where all my fellow readers are around the world!

My name is Sam (she/her) and I live in the hot state of Arizona. I’m 26 years old, and I got back into reading about 3 years ago. My favorite genre is Fantasy or Dystopian (always sapphic, hence the name😉) and I have a hard time reading books less than 250 pages because I need DETAILS!🤣 My all-time favorite book is Charon Docks at Daylight by Z. Reed, a sapphic zombie book I’ve now read multiple times over. A fun(more like funny) fact about me is a have a phobia to cotton balls. Crazy right? No, but actually everything is wrong about cotton balls. Their density, weight, the feel of them. All of it gives me the chills and I break out in a sweat if I see one.

Please don’t feel pressured to give the same info as me. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I can’t wait to meet more of you and learn more about you!🫶🏻

I've struggled a lot with being a passive reader and more often than not I tend to forget a lot of things I read. It's frustrating too when I know a book has a message between the lines, or when there are more underlying themes being presented. If you were to ask me to analyze a passage I would struggle and I feel really frustrated and dumb sometimes for it. Especially when it comes to books that have more political themes like sci-fi with social commentary, I feel like I sometimes have to be spoon fed or see what others have to say to fully understand or see the big picture.

I have tried annotating and tabbing before but sometimes my annotations feel very surface level (like literally just my reactions like "omg" or "no way" or a sad face emoji lol) or I just get too lost in the flow of reading that I don't want to take 30 seconds to write or underline something and I end up with very sparse annotations.

Are there any practical ways you guys get more out of your books beyond just reading the words on the page and vibing it out? And how do you annotate audiobooks? :(( i really want to become a more intentional reader this year !!!!

What is, according to you, the appropriate amount of pages/percentage read for you to log your reading progress?

I get temped even if I just read 2 pages lol

I just finished the second artist's interview. I liked the introduction, I didn't know the writer, but she seems like someone who knows what they're talking about, and also, she (and the topic itself I guess) is super relatable.

Usually I'm not a fan of the interview format, but in this case it works. So far I'm not agreeing with everything that the artists said, but that's normal, everyone has a different experience, and being able to see new perspectives is necessary to grow your mindset and ideas.

A thing that I am really liking is the "creative unblock" projects. The idea is genius, and the fact that everyone suggests something at the base of their practice is so fascinating: cutting a piece in half is normal for a textile artist, but that's absurd for a photographer. But at the same time it is not impossible. And it's a new approach that the photographer has never tried. These projects are a fertile ground for cross-discipline experimentation. And that's not easy to do.

So far I'm liking this book a lot. I think it's really inspiring.
