Hello ✨

This isn’t really book related, just Pagebound related- I read that when you reach certain levels you unlock more avatars. Something I’m really hoping to unlock are more Redheads- as a natural red head myself. The only one available to me rn is the Knight, which is very sick & I’m always tempted to use, but doesn’t really fit my aesthetic. So, for those who are higher level than myself (higher than level 6), are there more red headed avatars?? Also, would it be silly of me to ask for more red headed ones? If you’re a redhead, then I’m sure you can relate, but it’s uncommon to find representation. I mean, they even too away the redhead emoji!

So, I don’t use tiktok/booktok, but one of my really good friends does. She came last week & shared some booktok drama about the “biggest readers” in the scene & how it’s rumored that they’re not actually reading. Like, they’re pretending to read, I guess. Instead of reading the book, they’re reading the synopsis? Based off what they are saying, how they are reviewing the books, & how little they are remembering about the books- is where I believe this rumor sprang from. I’m not really sure, but I thought, if anyone would know, they’d be on this app! Has anyone else heard about this??

(The intent of this post is to yap/gossip, not to debate serious topic- pls comment w that vibe in mind!)

Personally, I prefer stylised colours that aren't necessarily meant to be taken literally. Some examples include:

• Warriors Graphic Novel: The Prophecies Begin has a lot of scenes with harsh orange, blue, or red tints to convey mood. Unfortunately, the new artist for The New Prophecy doesn't do this.
• The Rune series by Carlos Sánchez has a limited palette that mainly consists of blue, pink, and yellow. The desaturated blue forests look whimsical and foreboding at the same time.
• Silverwing: The Graphic Novel gives the bats a rainbow of colours that aren't accurate to the original books at all (though Marina's colours are surprisingly close to a real eastern red bat's), but make all of them look distinct. Even though it takes place at night, everything is bright and easy to see. I especially like the rainbow (literal) echo chamber and neon cities. There's a reason I used a rainbow emoji in my review.

Recently, I made it to level 6 (whoop whoop!), however, I felt like it took forever despite finishing 5 books. So, I checked out how many points you’re awarded when you finished a book & I could not believe it was only 5 points!

F I V E points!

That’s also how many points you’re awarded when you leave a comment! Does that seem skewed oddly to anyone else? Completely a book, imo, is a significant deal therefore it deserves a significant award. At least 10 points. While I understand not wanting people to skyrocket their levels, it just feels undermining to only receive the same amount of points for completing a book as it does commenting on a post.

I’m curious to see what others think! This is my first book app (& I love it, will never leave it!) so if this is common, lemme know. If there are other book apps that you’ve used & their award system is different, I’d also be curious to learn abt that too!

Hello fellow boundlings!! You know the drill… what’s a recent complaint (no matter how big, small, silly, dramatic, serious, etc) you need to shout to the void ?!📣

What's a book that you wish had more content avaliable? 🤔

For me it's dinosaur horror. I wish there was more because there is such a good opportunity. Games exist, but I wished more books existed.

I also would like more books about obsessive artists. Like the film Black Swan and Whiplash. If you're looking for a rec like it Boy Parts by Eliza Clark is great.
