    In advance of the movie...

    Is anyone else rereading this before seeing the del Toro adaptation? 😁 I'm SO excited, I almost can't contain myself!

  • That common name Jumpscare

    despite having picked an amazingly common name on purpose (where are all my Alexes at?) I am still somehow always shocked when I read my name in text. That all said—I bet this is weirder for people who have uncommon names

  • When do you add to your “reading” tab?

    Curious how other people judge when they add a book to their “reading” tab. I usually wait until I feel like I know I will finish the book (maybe 3-4 chapters) but also I started doing it that way because of how GoodReads is. Now that we have more options are you more likely to liberally add books ti the reading tab, even if you don’t finish them, because Pagebound makes it easy to move something from “reading” to “paused” or “DNF”?

  • Is it just me ? Is it ? 🥺

    So, since the app has launched I have been on here more often and every time I am on my phone I check Pagebound just for fun. Honestly it has done so much for my brain like still a dopamine hit but one I'll happily take. In comparison instagram just feels so dull to me now. Like even though there are so many reels etc book hauls and videos I am here thinking "what is the point, I cannot interact the way I want "

    It's got vampires, it's got lesbians. It's a must-read!

    I didn't think that I would enjoy this book as much as I did! The second-person POV works for this story, even if it took a bit to grow on me. Though I can't say I would have chosen this book for myself without the seasonal readalong, I am, in the end, glad that I read this.
