Yesss rhysand to the rescue!!! I already love that guy, i wasnt sure what to think of him in the first book but i already love him

I was wandering, what was the highest number of books you read in a year? And why? In which year did u hit that amazing number?

I read so many books this year, the last years it was so dry, no reading or like up to mabe 4 books because of my studies at university. But during my school time - high school or Gymnasium in germany- I read so many books. I read during classes when the teacher sucked or I allready knew the stuff we had to study and so I read up to 80 books a year because I read so much during class.

I think the most books in a year where around 85 books, I never hit that number again the years after. I mean I set goals but in the end I am just happy if i managed to read anything.

So just wandering, what was your highest number and, was it a good or a bad reading year?

god, I forgot how extremely horny bella is once she has had one taste of that ice pp

i think i'm approaching a point where i'm starting to heedlessly add books to my tbr. not a big deal but i originally intended to be more thoughtful about the books i was adding (i.e., am i realistically going to read this?) but then i came across a bunch of books (mostly historical fantasy, retellings, and nature non-fiction) that skyrocketed my tbr to nearly 100 books in the span of a few days lol. so in an effort to actually make progress on my tbr, i'm setting my limit to 100 books.

does anyone else place limits on their tbr? or are you the type to just add whatever remotely catches your interest?

Hi everyone, a quick announcement about Seasonal + Special Event Readalongs:

For those of you that have been around since the summer, you may have participated in our first Special Event Readalong for Pride. This was a huge hit and fostered PB-wide discussion on queer characters and stories (and bonus: the badge was rad). To continue fostering discussions on more niche and diverse books & voices, we'll be hosting a Special Event readalong once a season.

Our second Special Event will run from October 15 - November 15 and will be (drumroll please...) Dia de los Muertos 2025! Head to the Discuss tab and click on the box above the feeds to check out the selections and see the new badge (and if you're new, click the purple info icon next to the Fall Readalong header on Discuss to learn more about readalongs on Pagebound).

Since we're committing to one Special Event a season, we don't want to overwhelm folks with too many Readalong books. While you only need to read 1 book in a Special Event to earn the badge (and there is no "completionist" sparkly badge), we will limit Special Event picks to 3 books. Starting with the Winter 2025 Readalong, Seasonal Readalongs will only include 4 books. This way, you still only have to read a max total of 5 books per season to earn all Readalong badges available.

As for product updates, looks like most of you have already noticed some of the bigger changes on the site but for those that missed it, the following has been updated over the past 2 weeks:

• Discover Books got a little makeover: every day, we feature a new emoji and show you books whose ratings most frequently feature that emoji. Some of the emojis in rotation will be seasonally themed :) we also show you books that were the most discussed/finished/TBR'd yesterday, so the featured books will change daily and will showcase less mega popular titles.
• the Similar Users list got an update. Before, we were showing any user with over 30 points in that list; now, we prioritize active accounts, so you can find people you're more likely to actually engage with. I'll be making further tweaks to this in the coming weeks.
• No more HTML tags in posts/comments, please use markdown instead! See the Pagebound Club post on this for more info.
• We will save your total page count and pre-populate it when you post using Pages to calculate progress.

We're still beta testing the app but are on track for and end of month release!

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

I have been reading this for a year and a half now, slowly making my way through. Now I’m nearing half way through and on the 8th book, I feel like I’m just now beginning to get into it 😅
