i prefer late afternoon/early evening. i’ve always found myself reading more around that time, but if i don’t read during the day, i always try to get in at least a chapter or two at night depending on how long they are

Am I the only one who gets irritated when a book description starts with "abcbook meets xyzbook"? It makes me lose interest in the book immediately, especially if they're comparing them with books that I don't like.

It's also very silly because sometimes the book has NOTHING to do with the books they're comparing it too💀

Decided to wrap ALL of my physical books. 48 books ready to be read after years of putting them off (🫣) … I’ll be using a random number wheel and putting myself on a book buying ban until no more are left.

Are you doing anything “extreme” to get through your physical TBR/shelf?

When I was a kid, my absolute favorite books were the Moorchild, Island of the Blue Dolphins, and A Little Princess. I haven't read them as an adult, except last year I listened to the audio book version of the Moorchild, which of course gave me a whole new perspective on it but which I still loved.

This made me want to reread my other two favorites, and then I got to thinking, how fun would it be to have a kind of forum or read along or challenge where we revisit books from our childhoods 🥹

So I wanted to ask what books everyone enjoyed as a kid and if anyone would be interested in rereading their favorites 🤗

We just released 32 new color variants of our current avatars, focusing on increasing the skintone range of our human-like avatars. Some of the more popular avatars, like the ghost, dragon, and alien, have more colors also :) We'll be coming out with more colors and brand new avatars soon!

I’m sure the founders have some ideas :)

But I was just thinking. As an elder millennial, I saw FB grow, tumblr grow, IG grow. And I just hope to see Pagebound grow in similar but also different ways. I think the community will expand, quests will become longer and more complex/naunced. More folks will be TC and I’m sure even that role will be different!

I consider myself someone who has zero problems abandoning a book, as soon as I read something that bothers me enough I'm out. But there is one specific thing that completely takes me out of the book.

It is when a character does something no one would ever do if in their place. I once began to read a book where the main character was going to her first day at her job in a male dominated office and work field and as soon as she got there the first thing she began to do was drop a bunch of sexual jokes to people she had never seen before. Like, who does that? No woman in that same situation would risk her reputation in the first day of work like that.

One thing would have been if she had made those same jokes in informal circle with her friends or whatever, but that was not the case. For me that was equivalent of those movies where the character fallow strangers into the forest no matter how weird said stranger is.

What about you, what makes you completely drop out of a story?

Hi, I would really like romance recs. I don't really like fantasy, so I'm looking for contemporary. I appreciate adult characters, but I'm open to any good story. I've read every Emily Henry and I think every Abby Jimenez book, and I just want more of them. I read the seven year slip and I liked it so I'm thinking of reading more by the author. Other books I liked: the hating game and the kiss quotient Books I didn't like very much: red white and royal blue (I can elaborate on why in the comments so no one accidentally reads spoilers) And just because of my taste I have a bad feeling about Ali Hazelwood. I've started reading her books before but dnf them not even a chapter in. Long time ago tho, I'm willing to give it a chance, so maybe comment what you thing her best book is.

Anyways, I would appreciate any recommendations you can give me 🩷
