I genuinely need an empathetic mmc, I'm so tired of the "burn the world for you" trope. Yes, I do like it, but it's become so overdone and it's losing its meaning and sometimes not well done.
Give me a man who'd save her AND the people in a burning building. Wdym it's not your business as long as she's alive, when you have the power to save tens, maybe even hundreds of people, including children?? I need a man with softer hobbies or something, why does he ALWAYS have to be a rich shadowdaddy or the strongest knight or just wealthy/rich in general? I'd love to see a normal man for once, and if it's fantasy, the life of a normal person in that world. A man that is good with children, or doesn't know how to fight. Almost every man on booktok nowadays punch someone and they're dead. Also, why do they ALL have to be emotionally unavailable? 😔
Personally, I'd always choose a man who cares about others and not just me, over a man who's rude and apathetic to others.
If you have recs, pls help a girl out 😭 (any genre other than horror will do, and preferably no spice)
btw, I'm not saying I hate all of them or they're all like this. I'm just saying a change would be nice 💗

i've just read a whole blurb thinking all the while this looks interesting. I move to add it to my tbr, and... SURPRISE! I've read it already. 3 years ago apparently How could the blurb not even remind me of anything?? Even after seeing the evidence that I have read it, still nothing comes to mind lol This not even the only time that this has happened Please tell me I'm not the only one!

God the humor in this book is horrible
It's like, Millenial quirkiness constantly out of context

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? 📖😊

I don't know what is it, but there is something about a self-conscious main character with sad self-deprecating thoughts rattling around in their mind that itches some part of my brain.
The miscommunication trope hits different with these kind of characters 🙂↕️
Excited to see what will happen next.

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:
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 :)
