Hey y'all 👋🏻

I noticed that the Who's Who Wednesday posts have ended. I looked it up and saw that the user who started it originally deleted their account 😔😭 Jadelovesbooks

These were some of my favorite posts to read through so I'd like to bring it back if that's cool (or if these were ended on purpose, let me know and I'll remove this).

It’s time for Who’s Who Wednesday where every Wednesday we introduce ourselves and make new friends. This is possibly part 17.

If you participated in any of the times before, you don’t have to introduce yourself again but you can share some different facts about you, an opinion you have, or how your week is going.

If you’re new, introduce yourself!

I’ll go first.

My name is Wibbily. If I was a video game character, this is the loot I would drop after being defeated: 🎧 - over the ear headphones 🎲 - dice 🃏 - Pokemon cards 📚 - books ☕ - iced coffee 💄 - bright red lipstick

What are your go to literature pieces that you would recommend someone trying to get into classics?

Not sure this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering if there is a place where I can read more about how Pagebound is funded? How do they make money/how do the owners make a salary/what is their long term investment plan? Is this public information? If someone could direct me to anywhere where the owners have discussed this, I’ll high five you 🙏 Thanks!

Lately I’ve been lamenting the fact that part of growing up means your books don’t have as many beautiful pictures. Not that I need them to understand the story, but I genuinely love looking at them. 👩🏽‍🎨

What are some adult books you know of that have really stunning covers and/or interior illustrations? Special editions absolutely count, but I’m also curious about standard editions. I just want something that feels visually beautiful as well as readable. ✨

I’ve been thinking a lot about the overlap between people who devour books and people who sink hours into video games.

If you’re a reader and a gamer, I’m curious: • What are you playing right now? • Do you gravitate toward story-heavy games, cozy games, chaotic multiplayer, RPGs? • Do you feel like gaming scratches the same itch as reading - or a totally different one?

And if you don’t game, I’d love to know why. No judgment - just genuinely interested in how these hobbies intersect (or don’t).

I’m fascinated by the reader/gamer venn diagram. Where do you land?
