  • Your Bookish Beige Flag?

    Was thinking to myself how I have this ridiculous habit of intentionally speeding through book blurbs trying not to learn too much, leaving a book on my TBR for ages, starting to read it going off the memory of the blurb, and then being completely thrown by what the book is actually about because I realize I didn't actually know. Case in point: started the castle knoll files series today, DEAD CERTAIN the MC was an old male detective. It is about a 25 year old girl and her kooky aunt. This is abundantly clear in the blurb and I have no idea how I misremembered that badly. I spent the first 20 pages going "oh? Oh?? Oh!" So anyway, that got me thinking, do any of y'all have reading quirks like this that are ultimately harmless but kind of weird? A beige flag, if you will?

  • Hi Pagebound! Am new here :) Help me navigate?

    Saw a friend post about this community and thought to give it a try. Everything is a bit overwhelming though. I got lost a bit until I luckily stumbled into this forum. What's something you wish you've known at the get go when joining pagebound? Any tips to navigate this new community very much welcome throw them all my way ;) I hope I get a grasp on how everything goes here so this won't become just another bookish related account I make!

  • What book format do you prefer?

    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!)

  • Are there any books you can’t manage to get your hands on?

    Meaning, you can’t find it at any local bookstore or public library? I feel like this happens to me all the time. There are a lot of little gems on my list that once I find them, I feel so excited because I’ve had to search or wait for them for so long. Right now I can’t find: - Strange Fruit by Lillian Smith - The Iliac Crest by Cristina Rivera Garza - All These Sunken Souls: A Black Horror Anthology by Circe Moskowitz I’m curious about what other elusive books other people might be looking for šŸ•µļøā€ā™€ļøšŸ“–

    owning books

    Do you guys own many books? I never did growing up because I went to the library. Even now,I only buy books that I have read and loved. But seeing people on social media's own walls full of books has made me curious about other people's habits. So, I would love to hear about your habits. Do you buy books right away? Do you read all of the ones you buy? How many do you own/do you get rid of many?

  • recs based off the tv show "from"

    hello everyone! i was wondering if anyone has book recs with similar plot points to the series "FROM"? for anyone who hasn't seen it: it's a horror show centered in a town where people arrive but can't leave, and every night 'monsters' come out. it's one of my favorite shows so i'd love some books with a similar plot/vibe!

  • I'm going on holiday and I'm taking ALL the books

    I need your help to settle a discussion! So, 14 days of vacation, how many books would YOU take? 🤨 Obviously, there has to be a collection to pick from, depending on mood and everything! But total number, how many books would end up in your luggage?
