He’s bragging about doing 30 reps on a “heavy” weight in what I assume is bench press. If he can to that many reps, it’s not at all heavy enough. It’s not a cardio exercise.

I’m looking for all my lovely people who don’t pick up Zionist and problematic authors. I genuinely feel like it’s so hard finding people on here. I’ll always take a peek at their library. It’s always such a disappointment with those specific authors and for the people I do follow. I love you guys so much. I love to know that there’s humanity in the bookish space. Please sound off below if you are an ally, so to say. I would love to follow more people 🥹🫶🏼🙂‍↕️

Sorry if this has already been answered. I was looking for some people to follow on here and one of the profiles says we have a 46% overlap, but I only have 98 books in common with them out of 6086 they have in their library (yes, I counted). I'm not a math person, but it seems to me like there's something wrong or I don't understand how the overlap works. Can someone explain it to me? Thank you ❤️

Yesterday I was going for a jog around the lake in my area when I passed a gal who was straight up reading her paperback book while walking the lake (at a decent pace, I might add). Insanely impressive.

It took everything in me not to be the weirdo asking hey are you on Pagebound because you should be!

It reminded me of a girl in elementary school who used to be able to read while walking but I always thought that was sort of an out of a desperate necessity to keep reading while going where the grownups told her to go sort of a thing.

Authors, we get it, you’ve got to move the story along or slip in some worldbuilding…but did you have to do it like that?

What’s the worst plot device you’ve ever encountered? I’m talking info-dumps disguised as dialogue, miraculous coincidences that hand-deliver crucial clues, or protagonist's who are dumb as rocks, who somehow Sherlock their way to the truth with zero evidence.

For me, it’s The Fourth Wing. Your FMC 'soothes herself' by reciting the entire history of the world? Really? Straight to jail, Rebecca.

When you read a word that you've NEVER heard out loud and when you hear someone say it, it turns out that it doesn't sound how you thought it was gonna sound AT ALL.

Do NOT ask me how I thought "Choir" and "Mischievous" were pronounced

“If you, like me… stare into the empty eyes of the night wondering what it means to be a human being, then I suspect you might find insight, more than you may imagine, through a better understanding of how the universe functions within us.”

While browsing the recommendation sections of a few books recently I noticed that a lot of the time the recommendations include books further into the series instead of or more so than other books/series with a similar vibe and I'm curious about the community sentiment towards that.

Personally I feel like the recs should be more for those instead of just more from the same series, as a reader will usually be aware that the next books exists and especially for long series actual new recommendations get buried a bit. On other platforms I use recommendations to find more books I will probably enjoy after I have finished a series and initially expected to find the same here.

I believe it's probably an issue with how you currently can't effectively look at all books in a series directly from one book in it, which will probably get implemented better in the future.

But how does everyone else feel about that? Please let me know your thoughts. 🫶🏼

Does your library charge you for reserving physical books? Or is my library weird?

I'm in Derbyshire, England and my local library charges users 80p ($1 US) for physical book reserves.

But when I tell people this (around England and abroad), they tell me that's unhinged and have no idea that this is even a thing 🤣

I don't know either but I hate it. At least I can reserve ebooks at the library without a charge.

So sometimes I would be reading a book right and all of a sudden there is the mention of an accidental pregnancy. this is my bookworm ick Comment below what are the ones that you might have
