No seriously, sheās a nut. Iām currently watching her favorite horror reads and when I tell you I am having a TIME ššš. Sheās hilarious and Iāve read a few of her recs and sheās on to something.
How about yāall? Any faves you want to shout out or recommend?

Iām enjoying this one a bit more than the last time I read it. I remember thinking Alex was boring and the story took forever to move along, but it was only the second romance book I had ever read so I just wasnāt used to a slow burn romance. Alex is a less boring to me now that I understand his character a bit better. But I donāt remember what happened in Croatia AT ALL so Iām nervous itās gonna be something stupid and Iāll be annoyed all over again š¬
Also, the copyright date is 2021, which leads me to believe Emily Henry watched a LOT of Gilmore Girls during the lockdown because these characters (especially Poppy) have a little extra spunk and banter that can only be inspired by that show lol

Hello! šāā¬
I know a lot of us have yearly reading goals about reading X amount of books, but Iām curious to know your reading goals that have nothing to do with numbers! Here are some of mine:
šFinish any fantasy series (I read the first book of like ten series last year LOL) šRead more nonfiction - Iām a fantasy & sci-fi nut, so Iām hoping to break out a little bit this year! šFind a new favorite poet - I love poetry, and want to find more poets that cut to my core
Feel free to share!š„°

Hey guys, I was wondering how other readers go about reading series. Me, personally, I read series in one go because I canāt stand the suspense at the end of book two when thereās a cliffhanger and book three isnāt out until next year. And then, when book three is finally out, I have forgotten most of the major plot points or am too distracted by others books to even pick it up. So, I wait for the entire series to be out, buy all of them and keep going. However, I feel like I sometimes miss out on the hype (e.g. Fourth Wing) and for some series Iām interested in, the author takes years and years to keep writing (e.g. Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss), but I would really like to start reading. So how do you go about reading series? And for those of you that read them piece by piece, what are your tips not to forget all about unfinished series?

I really want to make new friends on here so I decided each Wednesday I might do a weekly question.
This Wednesday is: Whatās your comfort reread? šš That one book you reach for when youāre tired, sad, overwhelmed, or just need something familiar. The story that feels like a warm hug, even if youāve read it a hundred times. Tell us your go-to comfort reread and why it always hits the spot š¤

How do people manage to put the words to their thoughts on books? I'm so bad at it. I'm trying to start a reading journal but I can't even form my own thoughts š

The face I made when I realized I had added 237 books to my Interested list... I literally downloaded this app on December 31, 2025 y'all it's only January 6, 2026 šš
why are there so many awesome incredible books out there when I don't have the time to read all of them!!
And more to the point of fostering discussion, how do you decide when a book moves from Interested to TBR? And how do you make time for reading in your life?

Hello friends! We're six days into 2026, and already there are so many new peopleāwelcome!āwhich has me reflecting on how Pagebound made my life better in 2025 and how I hope it will make all of yours better in 2026. Whether you've been here for a few days or a few months, I would love to hear how Pagebound has made your life better and in what ways it's changed you.
For me, I've started thinking about what I'm reading more, since participating in discussions necessitates having actual thoughts. This has translated to me enjoying the books I'm reading more, and then to me overall loving reading more. I love getting to yap about books in a community that wants to hear it. On top of that, Pagebound has given me some amazing friends that I wouldn't trade for the world. I love this online community so much, and I'm so looking forward to meeting new friends this year. š„°
