  • plan feature on pb!

    i wanna know who uses the plan feature on PB (why or why not?) and if you do, do you see yourself actually finishing your books that are on the plan or no?!

    currently trying to tackle my physical tbr… that holds over 78 books before my birthday in late august(so i can go on a book shopping spree)! - my friends & boyfriend recommended that i use the plan feature to help with the daunting task. so i mentally organized my books by summer reads vs non summer reads & have owned for a long time vs not. i JUST started using the plan feature this past month, as i just got back into reading after leaving a job that took a lot of my personal time.

    here’s how july looked like(very proud of myself as i actually started getting back in the swing of reading around the middle of the month:

    (all of these books are on my physical shelf) read, but not on my plan: twisted love (audiobook) caraval (tandem) the lonely hearts book club (audiobook) the deal (finished from april)

    read & on my plan: two old men and a baby (physical) harry potter and the chamber of secrets (audiobook) twisted games (audiobook)

    currently reading from plan: what the river knows (physical) the eyes are the best part (audiobook)

    haven’t read but on plan: wings of starlight no matter what

    what do yalls stats look like; when it comes to the PB plan?!🤭 i’m sooo curious!

  • Do you rate/review every book you read?

    So far I’ve just been rating/reviewing the books I have something more lengthy to say about, but I wonder if it might be worth it to just rate all my completed books and not worry about leaving a “proper” review 🤔

  • The Limit Might Exist

    Is there any book length that is your maximum limit? Like beyond that you nope out?

    For me any book over 1K pages is a hard pass unless it's interesting enough

    I need to read a book that I'm kind of intimidated by because it says it's over 1500 pages on my Kindle, 850 pages on paperback and I thought why not grab it on audiobook to make it a lil easier.... it's 36 hours long... 😶

  • Till the end of the season 🏖️

    Hello my fellow boundlings,

    With about a third of summer over (yes, I am in fact counting down the days until autumn, aka my favorite season 🍁🍵🎃), I was wondering what all of your reading plans are for the rest of summer? Especially for those who like to pick books that are on theme with the season (or at least I like to do that) 🏖️☀️

    So yes, feel free to share what books or badges you are aiming for this summer.

    Be it beach reads, summerween themed books, or something else entirely — I’m curious about everyone’s plans! Feel free to be as broad or specific as you want, like naming a list of books you already know you want to read, or a badge you want to get, or just a general theme / vibe you are aiming for 💖

    I look forward to hearing about all of your summer TBRs! 🥰💜

  • Content , triggers, etc

    Here's a question I have seen floating around other sites for the authors .

    Why do some authors put them in the back of the book instead of the first page ? Don't say,' Oh, it's a spoiler if it's in the front '

    Question for the readers: Do you think content warnings and trigger warnings should be in the front or the back ? Do you think it's a spoiler if it's in the front.

    My opinion is I like them in the front, so you can see a new book and see what may trigger you vs what may not

  • Help me choose my next read for the quest? 👀

    I am one book away from my bronze badge, but I'd love your recs on which of the quest books I own I should prioritize for bronze, since I own a bunch from the quest! So... of this list, which one is the favorite you've read?:

    The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea (1 for audio!) The Binding (1) A Forgery of Fate The Drowned Woods Ink Blood Sister Scribe (1) The Darkest Part of the Forest Blood Over Bright Haven (4) Spinning Silver (2) An Enchantment of Ravens Babel (2) Katabasis (1) The Spear Cuts Through Water (5) A Sorceress Comes to Call (2) Gallant (4)

    Thanks for your help! 🙇

    Edit: I've added the number of people who recc-ed a book hehe
