  • Where has this website been all our lives.

    Came across one of Pagebound's videos on my tiktok fyp and I'm being so serious when I say I've never opened a website so fast in my life. One of the best websites I've ever come across (and created). It makes reading, updating, and rating that much more fun and I've never been more excited to pick up a book. If you don't have any reader friends it doesn't matter because Pagebound has enough, such a great wholesome community. We need a Pagebound app ASAP!!! From the bottom of a very grateful reader's heart, and I think I can speak for all of us when I say THANK YOU JENNIFER AND LUCY <3333

  • Do you prefer reading one book at a time or juggling multiple?

    When I was younger, I could easily read several books at a time and just switch back and forth whenever I wanted to. Now I tend to just focus on one book at a time. Reading one book at a time is much more manageable for me due to a hectic work and life schedule. If you read multiple at a time, how do you manage that? How do you decide when and why to switch from one book to another? Do you read books from the same genre or are your books totally different?

  • Reading time

    When do you read, like at what times? Do you read for a few minutes between things you have to do? Do you have free time in your day you mostly give to reading? I personally don't have long transport rides throughout the day I can use for reading which sometimes I wish I did haha but I usually read after work/college or read during the weekends. Today I actually had a task that wasn't very thought consuming during work and listened to a short audiobook while doing it, I don't usually listen to audiobooks as I find it hard to focus but it worked for me today.

  • Hated Book 1 but loved Book 2, 3, etc...?

    I'm currently placing holds for a couple of Book 2s. After my last post, I realized I've read a lot of Book 1s, lol. Are there any series where you didn't like Book 1 but ended up loving the following book(s)? I have a bunch of Book 1s I rated 3 stars or less, and I'm debating whether I should give their Book 2s a shot.

  • I judge a book by its ___

    Be honest: is it the cover, the title, the author, the blurb, the vibes, or the hype?

  • Music 📚🎵

    Would love to know if you listen to music or ambience while reading? If so, what playlist/songs on what platform? 🎶🫶🏻 I’ve been listening to Legends of Fantasia on YouTube. Great music and visuals. 😋 Thank you and have a lovely day/night! 💜

  • Blurbs?

    I’m just curious how many people read the blurbs? Or the summary on the back? I’m a go in blind kind of person. I rarely will read the blurb/summary. I like having no idea what the book is about and then figuring it out as I read it. Anyone else?
