    The scene that just happened was truly masterful. The tension that has been building this whole time and then for it to actually pay off 👩‍🍳😘

  • Question

    Would it make sense to join this quest just to be part of the conversation if I’ve already read all the books? Or would there be a better place?

    I'm enjoying listening to this along with two podcasts that I've found that are doing a chapter by chapter analysis. It's making understanding the book so much easier!

  • Reading a book that’s not listed here

    How do we add books to the website? I’m reading the fourth book in a series currently but it’s not searchable or available when I search the author, even though the rest of the series and their other works are discoverable.

    An entertaining, casually funny read, this book is great for when you don’t want to think too hard and just enjoy. Though the story centers a group of assassins and there is quite a bit of gore, the stakes were low in a “cozy” way. Definitely worth a read for its depiction of female friendships, badass women in their 60s, and feminist joy.

  • Challenges

    Hello! I don’t know what kind of interest there is in something like this, but is there any intention to allow users to create their own challenges? Almost like individual quests but without any badges or rewards other than it being completed in the stats section of your profile? It would be entirely user managed to add the books that fit their own challenges and count towards completion of that challenge once the book is finished. For example, a challenge I have for myself this year is to read my physical TBR, but I have no real way to track that on Pagebound. I suppose I could make a library tag but that’s not really what it’s for, or at least not how I use it. Curious if there’s any interest or if this is possible sometime down the line! Post-app launch of course haha

    The cast drama

    Who else is following all this movie cast drama?? And what side are we on? 👀 Personally, I’m a fan of Justin—he’s had a genuine, deeply thought out take on the movie in all his interviews

  • Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
    Patient Identities, Memoir vs Fiction

    Of course the patients and their stories had to be altered a ton to be included, but I can’t help but wonder about John specifically and which TV shows he works on (I’m sure Lori truly did have a TV writer as a patient). And since the majority of details here had to be altered (or, more likely, are completely works of fiction inspired by real life) it makes me wonder about the line between memoir and auto-fiction - can this truly be a memoir when so much is fiction? Yes, the lessons and feelings are real, but isn’t that also true of auto-fiction?

    Reading Update from 21% (page 124)

    Charlie had seen and loved each of them for who they were. When any of his girls—including Rose—had come into view, he’d always given them the same welcome, calling out, Hello beautiful! Oh this made me cry 😭
