Hey! I’m a Tome refugee and wondering if there are any plans to make our profiles more customized in the near future? Such as profile pictures or banners etc.

Are you adverse to DNFing? Did you have to read it for school or a book club?

My entire bookclub struggled through American Psycho, (thankfully it's pretty short.) One of the rare times the movie is better imo.

Hi everyone ! I just joined this app, I’m excited at the possibility of getting to read more 🙂 I didn’t know this app would be gamified, and now I kind of want all the badges, but most of the quests really don’t have the books I want to read. I’m afraid this will take me away from my actual goal of downsizing my tbr. So I wanted to ask all of you experienced users, if you’d be so inclined to share, how do you feel about the gamification, and how has it affected your reading ? Thanks in advance 🙏

Book Description: A vivid, surreal Gothic about a queer, Latine, working class witch who sets out to rescue a bespelled heiress and loses control of her powers and her heart in the process.

It is 1968 Oakland, and Natalia Fuentes has been hearing rumors about the beautiful Violeta Miramontes. The young heiress to Spanish colonial wealth has been left paralyzed by a mysterious illness. But Nati knows a thing or two about witchcraft, and she is certain that this is the work of dark magic.

Armed with a plan to break the spell and earn a handsome reward, Nati works her way into the house as Violeta’s caretaker, and immediately discovers her suspicions are true. But who cursed Violeta? And why?

As feelings between the two women bloom into romance, Nati grows more and more reckless, and is forced to face her own ghosts— ones she hoped would stay gone forever.

Riveting and richly layered, Muñeca explores how far one will go to save the person they love—even if that means damning themselves. Cynthia Gómez fills her debut novel with moments that chill your bones and warm your heart, a razor-sharp examination of deep-rooted issues that will haunt readers long after the last page is turned.

Hej Bookaholics!

Your question of the day is....

Do you associate specific books (or types of books) with different phases of your life?

I know I associate the more YA books with the start of my reading journey, so wanted to see what everyone else did ❤️

Fellow pagebounders! I was really debating if I should post it here or not, but I decided to do it anyway. I am thinking about starting a new genre (sapphic vampires and things, can it be considered a genre??) however I'm a little afraid about going in blindly...

What do you usually do to not go blindly into a new genre?? And how do you get over that little nervous feeling about starting it??

I'm mostly asking because I have encountered books on here I have never seen in the wild, library, bookshops, on blogs, on social media, etc. Books that are super niche or even unhinged (non-derogatory). I'll look at some niche lists and think "how did you even find those books?"

I would not have known that a Minion spice book existed if it wasn't for PB 😂

I just got back into reading more actively last year and before that I wasn't in much bookish spaces other than bookstores/libraries and IG reels. I had storygraph which I'd just review books but never had goodreads. I have found so many cool and interesting books here on PB, either through Quests, Lists, or people I follow. And I really think PB helped me become a more active reader. And also introduced me to so many genres I would've normally not have tried.

So I'm really curious on where you found books before PB, or where you still find books in addition to PB? And/or if PB has also helped you expand the amount of books you find.
