Considering how damn near everyone reacts when they hear my main comfort movie is The Social Network, what is a weird film or song or book that you read when you seek comfort?

Some of my other ones are -Challengers -Trainspotting -Pitch Perfect -Daria -Yellowjackets -SAS: Rogue Heroes

has anyone found this through their library? I’m having trouble finding a copy through my and other libraries like QLL and books unbanned cards. also, the only audiobook option im seeing online is not in English. any ideas? ty :)

hey hey!!! i wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for dystopian novels written by an asian author/has asian rep? i'm going through the actually diversify your reading bingo by @aliyahmk and @miranda_mic and that's one of the topics!!!

furthermore, if anyone could also provide some recs for "a classic reimagined in a different culture," that would be swell, thank you loves!!

Contrary to the post title, I would like to know who among us Pagebound readers have perfect eyesight. Consider this a survey. Who among us have won the lottery and have not eroded their vision with our passion for words, so gripping that we read on our backs in bed or in the dimness as evening falls?

I’d also like to hear from friends who have usual sight- or spectacle-related stories. I, for example, have near-sightedness but it’s SPECIAL. You see, one side is 3.25 and the other is… 8.75. This means one side of my glasses is thicc af and the other is okay. Some people do apparently notice this and comment on or ask about it.

Edit: Current observations - Most readers do have poor eyesight and those who don't have other issues or sight-/eye-related problems that nevertheless are disruptive despite having clear vision. It's not looking good for us.

I'm sure this has been asked here before, but I haven't seen it recently, so I'm curious! What was your favorite childhood/middle grade book or book series? I'm talking books that had a bit more to them than picture books/early reader books, but weren't quite YA yet.

For me, it's A Series of Unfortunate Events which I remember reading during indoor recess in 4th or 5th grade. I also really liked Warrior Cats and I can distinctly remember where in my middle school library they were located.

Hello my fellow pageboundlings🙂‍↕️

2 months into the new year I wanted to see how everyone's reading journals are moving along!✨️🌷🌿

This year I finally committed to a brand new reading journal (which I'd never done before), inspired and motivated by the lovely community here! I realized that I could set up the journal however I wanted(what a surprise haha), and decided to not log daily progress, or reviews etc., which are things that I already do & prefer to do here and on SG.

Instead, I chose to focus on what I love most - which is drawing! Plus some smaller challenges, such as adding 5 new countries to the read around the world challenge on SG ^^

My main goal is to draw every book I read this year, and while I'm currently 8 books behind (due to a February of surprisingly much reading), I'm enjoying the process a lot! This is how it looks so far, started out a bit wonky and then improved quite a bit - drawing miniature format is not always easy but a fun challenge!

Apart from this I'm drawing a cover page for every month, and try to journal at least once a month - but otherwise I don't put too much pressure on myself and try to enjoy the journey!

I'd love to hear (& see🤭) how everyone else's journals are looking, what you focus on, and how you approach journaling!

P.S.: I finally made the embedded image behave on the app >:))

Does listening to a book instead of reading impact the way you experience it? I've noticed when I actually read the words I imagine more of the story, like the world around the characters, their every movement, kinda like a mini movie. It's a lot more tiring, but it's there. When I listen to audiobooks I'm usually doing chores or other things, so ig that impacts why I can't picture as many things, but even when I'm commuting/road trip listen I still find it hard to make an image

I will lose myself in the narration definitely, but it's very obvious that I'm listening to something, instead of being transported to another world. It's more words versus picture. Idk that doesn't make the experience less entertaining for me but it's definitely different, and there were times where when I came back to read the same book on written format I also didn't form images for said story
