How did you get into reading? Was it something you've always done? Or did you pick up a book randomly and never looked back? What has changed since then? I started getting into reading around July 2023. I used to hate it because it reminded me of school and assignments. Then I discovered the world of romance books and I've been reading constantly since. It's also made me a quicker and better reader. Although since starting university, I've been correlating everything from my lessons into the books, so it makes my brain work overtime when I read a dark romance book 💀

If you could read any book again for the first time.. what book would you read? Mine would be A Ballad of Phantoms and Hope

What is one popular book you've read and didn't like, where you didn't get the hype or don't understand how many people can genuinely like it? I'll go first : Le Petit Prince I've never understood how everyone loved the book, as a kid I was forced to read it every year and go to see plays about it and until today I don't understand the hype.

I mainly read fantasy (all age groups) but my favorite sidepiece genre is nonfiction animal books. I know that's kinda broad but I mean nature books, and memoirs from people who work with or are otherwise close to animals. What are yours?

I thought it would be kind of fun to see where in the world people are, and then folks can make friends with people from the same countries/ares (if they way, not pressure obviously). I'll go first. I'm Canadian, and more specifically I am in British Columbia (Vancouver Island if you want to get fancy. Try to find your country and join that thread! Everyone else?

This post is coming to your from a tiny, backyard pub that only seats three people, but since the owner knows/loves me, it has four bookshelves. What are some fun places you have read at? (If you want to see the Frogmore Pub, I just posted a couple pictures to my Instagram, and I have definitely posted more in the past. I use the same username there.)

I was inspired to play a game with y'all after I heard a couple patrons at my library talking about misreading some of the titles of items on display. Figured it would be good for a laugh as well as a way to discover an item or two for our TBRs! Dragon Writers of Pern > a series exploring the trials and tribulations of draconic authors trying to get their work published. Obviously cozy fantasy (Original: Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey).

Do you prefer to read physical books, ebooks or listen to audio books? I tend to do a mixture but lean towards ebooks (and then go buy my book trophy!)

Is there anyone whose books you immediately pre-order before barely checking what they're about? For me it's: - Kristen Britain - Lucy Holland - Adrienne Young - Laini Taylor

Ahh booktok, so controversial. But we love it anyways hehe. Because I thrive on highly opinionated discussion, please don't hold back! (BUT, because we are all kind, educated readers, let's not be hateful towards people who have different opinions than we do ;) That being said, I'll go first: *inhales slowly* Fourth Wing is meh and Iron flame was almost impossible to get through... the hype, I just don't understand it!! Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I started reading the Throne of Glass series in late 2022. I only have Kingdom of Ash left but I am so terrified to read it. It's been nearly three years since I started this series, I want to just rip the band-aid off but I can't wrap my brain around the fact that this is the end. Send help or positive reinforcements.

I'm wondering what everyone's preferred time of the day they like to get some reading in? Or when do you have the time to dedicate to reading? I try to read when my son is playing independently. I figured I'd rather him see me with a book in my hand than my phone, plus I want to read anyway. I also read when he goes to bed, and then while laying in bed, which then keeps me up until 1am on my kindle, my eyes fighting for their lives.

I just found out about pagebound and fell in love with how colourful & fun it is! I mainly read fantasy, thrillers, romance & sci-fi, but I'll read anything that takes my fancy. I'm also a huge mood & seasonal reader - currently on a big romance kick for summer🌞 Can't wait to get chatting about books & add to my ever-growing TBR! To get started on recs, what was your most recent 5-star read?💘

Are there any words or saying that you genuinely don't like in a book? As in it kind of ruins the quality of the book when you read it? I'll start : If a book has the word "whopping", "dunno" or "ohmigod" in it, I start to dislike the book, because "whopping" in just a terrible word and sounds so American, it isn't difficult to write "I don't know" and the "mi" is so frustrating because it makes no sense phonetically
