I’d love to hear more perspectives on:

1. why you follow someone else on PB and
2. what types of interactions you typically have

I tend to follow people who have similar taste in books and/or a library that I can yoink from! I also pretty much 100% follow back anyone who follows me. I absolutely love following others that reciprocate likes/upvotes/comments.

For interactions, I ♥️ most of my friends’ updates and tend to comment on bigger milestones (leveling up, badges, etc.) unless they do not interact with me in that way. I don’t want to be a bother if someone else doesn’t find value in likes or upvotes, or doesn’t comment on others’ posts.

But then I sometimes get sad when I see users who follow me interacting a lot with others, but not me. If not friend, why friend-shaped?

So, what about you? Are you more of a yapper and not a liker? Does it hurt your feelings if someone follows you and doesn’t interact? And then what do you do - nothing, block them, or unfollow?

Anyway, I realized hearing perspectives and experiences from others could help give me insight into how we each utilize the “friend” portion of PB. As of right now, I’m only limited to my personal experience! Thanks for your thoughts. 💗✨

if pagebound had emojis for users profiles like they do for books, which three emojis would you choose for yourself and why?

mine would be 🐝 because i like honey or ⭐️ because i like stars (duh!) 🍊 my favorite fruit 🧵 because i like to crochet but i don't like the emoji 🧶 lol

(i already have them in my bio because no way i would not have them)

I joined Pagebound two months ago thinking a 50-book goal was plenty ambitious. 🫠 Then I hit 44 and panicked, so naturally, I moved the goalposts to 75 to keep the pressure on.

Meanwhile, I’m scrolling past people casually logging book #213 like it’s nothing. Massive respect BTW! ✨🌸

Where are we all at with our 2026 targets? Smashing it, moving the bar, or pretending the challenge doesn't exist?
