Hi, friends! Every year, I join a charity reading program called Read For Books whereby for every 10 individuals who read for at least 15mins in the month of July, books are donated to the less privileged. This year, since I have just joined Pagebound, I thought it would be nice to share this with everyone who might be interested in taking part as well. The charity event is opened to everyone from every country and it includes all forms of reading: paperbacks, audiobooks, magazines, ebooks, etc. You can join as individuals or in groups too. If you are interested, you can read more about it at this link and sign up 😊 I hope we can all give back to the community by doing what we love to do: reading! Thank you 🫶🏼 https://readingnation.nlb.gov.sg/initiatives/readforbooks/

Everyone has at least one favorite book from their childhood that they cherish forever, or that one book as a young reader that got you into reading into adulthood? What was yours? (I'll be adding them to my tbr, for real.) My favorite book as a young reader was A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray and her Gemma Doyle Series. PS: I am loving reading everyone’s favorite books as a kid!!! Thank you all for sharing :)

I have only been able to read fantasy books in 2025. Unsure why or what, but I find myself incapable of reading anything else. Recommend your favorite fantasy books for me to try and get through this year! I also have two libro credits waiting for me, so I am in need of new audiobooks!!

as a non-native english speaker, even if i’m used to reading works written in english, i’m finding this one quite difficult to understand without consulting my vocabulary every now and then. but i’m not giving up, of course! 💗 just wanted to inform other non-english speakers that it could take some time to get into it and it’s totally fine. based on some words used in descriptive paragraphs, i think it could easily be a C2 level.
