Does anyone have a recommendation for an audiobook that sounds nice? I tried to listen to one before but I didn’t like voice actor and with university starting to become more demanding I feel like it’s easier for me to listen to some audiobooks cuz idw get in a slump. I don’t mind any genres. But for those who read audiobooks, do you have any first recommendations?

With the current news - and my current read - I have, once again, lost my faith in humanity a bit. While I know both good and bad exist and the line is often blurry and that we need to confront the terribly things in order to change them, I need a pick-me-up. I need to be reminded that hope and good people still exist. I need to be hugged by a book. I think maybe some of y'all feel the same way right now. So we can get up and be better people for a better world.

I do love fantasy (cozy and not-cozy alike), queer books and non-fiction, and I know quite a few books already (I even have a list about hopeful reads and one about community). But I need something new, something that reminds me that there is light and love and kindness.

So, please, hit me with your most hopeful, warm books that feel like a cup of hot chocolate sprinkled with love and courage.

Just saw their post on instagram, until february 2nd 2026 you can download this book without charge, here's the link to their promo: https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781666149562 Just thought I'd share. Now I might start reading this one sooner than anticipated 😁

It occurred to me, everyone has a reason for reading their favourite genre. So what's your why?

For me, romance has such an important place in my life. It's an escape, it's about happiness and it allowed me to gain a lot of comfort with the idea of romance, closeness and intimacy (both emotionally or otherwise). When I started out, I was gaining a sense of myself as an adult, and exploring romance really helped me come into my own as an independent adult by learning through these stories. I kind of just picked it up on my own, so it was one of the first things I learnt I loved on my own without my friends or my family, even though I eventually found friends through books. It also allowed me to determine what type of things I like and don't like, what traits I find attractive in others and in myself.

It also allowed me to find a community that allows me to feel like myself.

So that's my why for my genre. What's yours?

i saw someone make a post abt icks so i wanted to know what makes you guys giggle and kick ur feet when ur reading! my top one has to be where a character tears off a piece of their clothing to bandage the others wounds AHH its so cute always no matter how many times i see it!!

Wait I’m confused about the timeline. System Collapse takes place immediately after Network Effect, so did Fugitive Telemetry take place post #4 but pre #5 (even tho it’s #6 in series order)? Is Fugitive Telemetry like a side short story?

As PageBound gets bigger and bigger, I start to see new names! I’d love to learn things about all those new to PB, and those I’ve seen for quite some time but want to learn more about and know where all my fellow readers are around the world!

My name is Sam (she/her) and I live in the hot state of Arizona. I’m 26 years old, and I got back into reading about 3 years ago. My favorite genre is Fantasy or Dystopian (always sapphic, hence the name😉) and I have a hard time reading books less than 250 pages because I need DETAILS!🤣 My all-time favorite book is Charon Docks at Daylight by Z. Reed, a sapphic zombie book I’ve now read multiple times over. A fun(more like funny) fact about me is a have a phobia to cotton balls. Crazy right? No, but actually everything is wrong about cotton balls. Their density, weight, the feel of them. All of it gives me the chills and I break out in a sweat if I see one.

Please don’t feel pressured to give the same info as me. Whatever you’re comfortable with! I can’t wait to meet more of you and learn more about you!🫶🏻
