Hello pagebounders!! Well, I've come across a lot of videos recently talking about the cons and pros of BookTok and Bookstagram. But what I want to know is, in your opinion, does it do more harm than help to the book community? I think for me since I'm only in Bookstagram it doesn't really harm the book community since these kind of people are not very popular there however I've seen a few. However I don't know how it is in Booktok, can someone tell me??

Hey Pagebounders!! Iâm hoping you all can help me pick my next read. Iâm stuck between a few options and I canât decide!
My options are:
Iâm really getting into the thriller/horror genre and these are the books I have on hand in my physical TBR. What do you recommend I start with?

I want to start this out by saying I am appreciative of the messages and where this story came from. I am very glad this art exists and the writer had this outlet.
Unfortunately, a lot about this didn't hit for me. This read like a fever dream almost all the way through, which works when the characters are in the dream world, but shouldn't have been the case in reality. There were turns of phrase that were written backward from what was meant, or sentences next to each other that didn't match. There were characters talking about waiting hundreds of years when the time jump is just the one century, actually. There were tons of characters introduced but not enough time to get to know most of them. There were scenes in the reality sections where the characters were on one location and then without a transition they were elsewhere, leaving me wondering what was going on, and I was actually the one who fell asleep.
This needed more polish, but like I said, I am behind the messages it conveys.

Hi Yâall-
Iâve tried looking this information up and didnât see anything. Apologies if this is duplicative. Does anyone know how to report major spoilers that are in the book description? Currently reading a book that had MAJOR spoilers in the description in the âAboutâ section. I was so bummed when I got to that part of the book and realized I wasnât supposed to know the information. đđ€«
Any help is appreciated!

I am just wanting some opinions, I finished my reading goal for the year (50 books) a few weeks back and have just completed my 60th book. I know we can change our reading goals, so I was wondering, for others in this position, are you just reading over your goal, or are to adjusting/increasing them? And why?

Iâm fairly new to PB and still not very familiar with all of its functionalities, so Iâm hoping someone would be able to help me out with this:
Iâm bilingual (English and Polish) and learning a third language (German), so naturally I read books in all of those languages. And a thing I really like doing when updating my books and reading logs is choosing the book editions corresponding to the specific editions and languages Iâm actually reading in (to the most of my ability of course).
Iâve realized, however, that some of the books Iâve read in one language are marked in the database as a completely separate book from the other language editions (the review sections are separate and in their corresponding languages as well). For example, when reading âHeart of Darknessâ by J. Conrad in Polish, I would look it up using the Polish title and be able to mark it as read, but then when looking it up in English a completely different book log would pop up (even though theyâre the same book). And this is especially annoying when completing quests, because only the English editions seem to count in the quests (and so even though Iâve read the book in Polish, it doesnât count). Though, this doesnât seem to be a problem with all books - there are others in which the different language editions are in one place.
So, is there maybe any way to connect those separate logs of the same book, so that any of them count in the quests? Because Iâd rather not have to mix up the languages and editions.
