  • The Kiss Curse (The Ex Hex, #2)
    Thoughts from 22% (page 67) - end of Chapter 7

    I am just not getting into this at all. I know The Ex Hex was pretty popular, but maybe I just don’t like Sterling’s style of writing? I feel like nothing is happening and like I don’t have any connection to the characters right now. Also I feel no tension because the inside of the cover blurb basically told me the entire first half of the story it seems like. So I feel like I’m just waiting for things to happen because I know they do. And not in the fun way like when you reread a book and you’re excited about it but also excited about the journey to get there

    Do I need to give this more time? Also I’m wondering if reading the first book would’ve helped? I think I might have picked up the first book at some point but I don’t think I finished it if I did. And I may have not started it at all 😅😬.

  • Do we still lend books? 🥵

    Hey, page-turners 🤗 So, I used to lend out my physical books without even a second thought (now I only read ebooks and audiobooks, which means I don't have that problem anymore). But, man, not everyone’s in a rush to give them back, are they?

    There was this one time I bought an absolutely beautiful art book when I was at the Louvre (felt super fancy, not gonna lie), and I let a friend borrow it. He loved art as much as I did, or so I thought. Yeah, that book never made its way back to me. The worst part? I barely even got to look through it myself. Ugh, talk about regret. 🤦‍♂️

    What about you? Are you cool with lending your books out, or do you kind of feel like you’re just saying goodbye forever? 📖😊

  • The App is live!!

    I am over the moon to share that the app is officially live on both iOS and Android!!

    We've quite literally poured our blood, sweat and (lots of) tears into the app development over the past 9 months and we could not be more thrilled for everyone to experience it!

    We're still being indexed in app store search so you may have to scroll to find us, or type in Pagebound: Social Book Tracker. Here's links to iOS and Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pagebound-social-book-tracker/id6751526412 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.pagebound.app

    There are quite a few improvements and new features in the app, including:

    • Book Journeys (click the map icon on the book cards in your library and other user's library to see their posts, comments, and updates for a specific book)
    • Quick access to "add to plan"
    • Filtering your activity on profile
    • Save posts
    • upgraded Read Dates editing

    This is the first release, so there will be many more additions and improvements to come. (PS for Android users: we're aware of two bugs related to library imports from Goodreads/Storygraph, and issues with editing read dates - these have already been resolved and are pending Google approval for release.)

    We owe a huge thank you to our beta testers who worked diligently over the last month to report hundreds of bugs and help us get the app prepared for release. A huge round of applause to them.

    We hope you love the app as much as we do; it definitely makes engaging on PB so much more convenient and fun. If you have a great experience with the app, we'd love if you'd consider supporting us through Pagebound Royalty; Lucy and I have worked for $0 over the past year to bring the app and website to fruition, and have been covering business costs with our savings accounts. Your contribution means we can continue to work full-time on Pagebound without influence from investors or advertisers, and keep Pagebound 100% for readers by readers. Thank you so much to all the Royalty who have already contributed; it truly means the world to us and keeps Pagebound online!

    ok now go download the app and tell us what you think!

    Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

    PS - leaving us a review in app stores also helps tremendously :)

    "I don't know. Just the way stuff goes, I guess. Things are good and then they're not. People you love turn out to be not what you thought. or they get tired of you and leave you behind. Sometimes you're just not enough."

    Oh no, this does not have the right to be so heartbreaking. I already want Cassie to have the happiest of endings or I will riot.

    I just downloaded it from the App Store. I couldn’t figure out how to post from the app, but it’s live now!
