I feel like quests have become just like lists and there is no real difference between the two except for who can make them and the rewards. The quests have become so long that they are overwhelming and discouraging. It is more of a 'if I need a recommendation list,' but I thought that was what lists were for. I thought lists were basically a place to go for recommendations and to list what you wanted to get through. Quests to me were something to work towards, but they are so long now that I have no hope in finishing any of them. Or I was close, and then they updated and now I'm at 17 percent. Quests was one of the things that drew me to PageBound and I still love it, but I have avoided that part of it because it is so discouraging and overwhelming to look at. Even Side Quests are a little daunting. If I compared this to an RPG, the quests would be more like achievements, and side quests would equal main quests. I'd love to hear thoughts.

I definitely have to say my fav genre Is sport romances but lets be real I read way to much male on male books and need to expand. So please if anybody has any WLW sport romance recs please hand them over.

Thanks everyone you’re all so sweet

As a middle aged detective fiction fan, I might suggest Val McDermid’s Lindsay Gordon series. Her novels with a lesbian socialist journalist acting as investigator were quite a breath of fresh air at the end of the 1980s - beginning of the 1990s (which is also the period when I met Val McDermid.) Pretty please, add at least the first one, Report For Murder (1987), to the quest.

Hello everyone! I've been obsessed with Pagebound since I first joined. Reading has been one of my hobbies since childhood and I never gave up. So joining Pagebound brought me so much joy by making it possible to interact with people who have fallen in love with reading recently or have always loved it. What I'm really curious to know is, what's your favorite thing about Pagebound? It can be something oddly specific or just something more general!

Hi Boundlings!

I know there are lots of olders like me here who won’t need this explained, but for the youths, back in the days of dial-up internet, we would sit on our desktop computer in the living room on AOL Instant Messenger. If you needed to get up for any reason, you could just sign off (cue door slam sound effect), or, if you really wanted attention like moi, you could leave a super angsty away message that tells everyone how you really feel while also being vague AF (the precursor to the already historical phenomenon known as “vaguebooking”). Usually this away message was song lyrics and/or quotes from cultural touchpoints such as The Office and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but I think quotes from books could work, too.

I was thinking… maybe we could leave away messages here, and recommend books to each other based on tHe ViBeZ?

Mine’s in the comments 😘

I got to sing (scream) along to this song with Ms. Hayley Williams back in May and it was the best night ever, but… that 37th bday is fast approaching so I was thinking to myself, my opportunities to use these lyrics are dwindling 😂
