I just saw the Anastasia musical for the second time this past weekend and I’ve been listening to the sound track on repeat. I desperately want to read something with similar vibes to the musical (or the movie), even if it’s not a direct retelling of Anastasia’s story. I particularly love the complicated dynamics between Anastasia and Dimitri, and Anastasia and Gleb (I’ve been listening to “Still/The Neva Flows Reprise” a lot) and the lost heir storyline.

Any and all recommendations are welcome, but speculative fiction is a bonus!

Make the comments look like we're locked into a book printing facility. And you bet we have access to the sprayed edge machine, the foiling machine... everything

What special edition are you fixing? What regular book are you turning into a shiny one of a kind special edition? Are we taking book pallets? Taking book merch? Or grabbing a new release?

hi there !!

as spring approaches, i’m growing a bit tired of my dark fantasy / medieval vibes books. i’m looking for something more whimsical now that the sun is coming out — i don’t mind it still being fantasy but as long as it’s not dark or depressing lol. i’m looking for tinkerbell, sparkly fairies, NICE mermaids, pastels vibes.

pls & thnx !! 🩵

It’s a bit weird to me that the line between heme onc and medonc is really blurred. Physicians in Canada don’t treat lymphoma and pancreatic under the same scope of practice. In my experience that’s two different specialties. Is it different in the US?

I’ve discovered a particular niche of books that I seem to really enjoy, but I struggle to find more in a similar vein. I’ve looked at the lists, but I can’t find any that are really what I’m looking for.

Here’s what I’m hoping to find:

Books that have religion as a heavy influence, maybe as a central plot point, but that aren’t religious in tone.

As examples, two that come to mind are The Handmaid’s Tale and The Flame Alphabet. Both of those happen to be dystopian, but recommendations certainly don’t have to be. I also enjoyed The Poisonwood Bible and The Incendiaries, which I think also fit the description.

Like I said, I think this is a rather niche ask, but I’m hoping someone out there has some idea of what I’m looking for! Also let me know if there’s a list about this that I overlooked.

I have really been making an effort recently to reduce my screentime and just rely less on technology overall. I love cooking, but would commonly spend a lot of time watching videos and reading dozens of similar recipies before preparing a meal. These things are still useful, but I would love if anyone has any cookbook or general cooking technique books to recommend. Would love to start a small collection just to have as an irl reference.

Does anyone crack the spines of their books? I've never done it because i can't bring myself to do it lol but at the same time I feel like sometimes books are uncomfortable to read! When I get second hand books with the spines already cracked i feel like i can be less careful and read it however I want 😂

Try to stick to the general synopsis to avoid spoilers please! I'll go first: A young boy with ADHD and dyslexia finds out those are the least of his problems.

Hello boundlings! While my TBR has already grown large, and I know my interested list will end up getting worse... [hammerhead shark lawsuit sticker] I'm here asking for new recs.

I'm searching for something specific this time: something with Faustian/pact with the devil themes or vibes! 😈

I already have Marlowe's Faust, The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov, Goethe's Faust (i still meed to read it bc my copy is an old one and it's a bit brittle lol), Markheim and The Devil in the Bottle from RL Stevenson, a booklet with two short stories by Dumas and Asselineau... and probably Dorian Gray could fit the "deal with the devil" part 🤔 I know I'm missing the Faust by Thomas Mann, but I'll get to it.

Anyway! TL;DR: pretty please, drop your devilish pact book/short stories/etc recs!

How can you guys post gift or pictures in your posts, I’m so confused and wiuld really like to figure it out. Thanks so much. 💕

How do we add a book that isn't on Goodreads?

I searched both the title and the author (and the ISBN) but I can't find the book I just read on Goodreads and it's not on PageBound either.

It's on Amazon so I don't know if it is on Goodreads but with an incorrect title and author or what.

Can I manually add a book to PageBound? What's the process when Goodreads fails?

Edit: Can a book be added to Goodreads and then used to be added here? I don't use Goodreads/have a Goodreads account but perhaps someone could try adding (or finding) the title for me, please? 🙏🏻

It's The Urban Food Forester by Justin Calverley, ISBN: 9780733343544.

As the title suggests, does anyone have any suggestions for romance/fantasy books written by bipoc authors? (Any genre besides the two mentioned are also welcome too!) I’ve noticed that I really am lacking books written by bipoc authors and would love for any recs to expand it even more 🌷
