Wait...is a Kraken a octupus or a calamar? Because I always thought it was more of a calamar, but I just looked it up and it looks more like an octopus...and now I'm really confused....

on a side note, this book makes me want to eat calamar AND octopus. If you've never tried it, let me tell you, it. is. DELICIOUS!!! Best recipes are Lulas recheadas and Polvo à Lagareiro. I don't know how to say it in English so you're getting the portuguese version lmao

EDIT: I think you can say 'squid' instead of 'calamar'. I just translated it from the French 'calmars'...oups

Did anyone else see that Lucy was on this podcast??? I’m normally not into listening to things myself (I need it to be written text or I zone out lol) but I’m so excited to check out the episode!

I’m still kind of new to this app but I can’t find a way to make friends. There doesn’t seem to be a dm option or a “general status” to chat on besides this. I’m just wanting more book besties to yap about books. My bookish insta is bluesbooksandmore im willing to message on another platform after i get to know you ❤️

hey how does she know they’re impala horns? she’s never left the village and she knows the guys horns are like an impalas? is knowledge about impalas just normal? no one wants to talk to her so how would she know they’re impala horns? why do we need to know that the chief has good leadership skills? why are you saying darren is a dick when he’s one of the few who will give you food in secret? why are you calling his eyes orbs? or at least i’m assuming they’re his eyes because there’s no indication where these orbs are supposed to be! was this even edited 😭😭😭😭😭

Rough start. Author is all over the place and info dumping like no tomorrow. And there's plenty of tomorrow, like, 500 pages of it. All feels like a first draft that needed editing for pacing, more relevant and engaging character dialog, and repetitive words. I caught myself mentally wandering off every other paragraph, because nothing noteworthy is happening and the writing is bad. Then soon as I saw the first page of chapter two, we're STILL talking about the FMC's dress.

I've DNFed for less, but will give it another chance because I'm mad I spent money on this book brand new lol

Guys I need help. A while ago, around December or so, I decided to cut my screen time in half, I was spending way too much time on my phone, it was taking time off my hobbies, and I wasn't even having fun, spending that much time on the internet was more stressful than anything. I was successful with it, in less than 2 weeks I went from 10 hour screen time (no judgment please) to around 4 hours or less.

But then things went south, I had problems with health in my family, problem with work, travelled and got my lost in the chaos of things and now my screen time is atrocious again and my attention span us shorter than never. Any tips to fix it again?

is there a way to log two books as “reading” simultaneously? im reading two books and switching between them but i dont want to lose my progress.

Hello fellow PBers 🖖

I've had some issues recently with a) getting my text to format correctly like italics and b) using GIFs in replies/comments/posts. Any time I use asterisks to format text (yes, I am putting them before and after the desired text), the asterisks disappear and the text remains normal after I post something. As for the GIFs, I've used the right format (I think) and tried different URL orientations, but they always post as a blank space with no image.

Has anyone else had these issues? Or can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong/how to fix it? They're minor things, but I'd love to have the full reign of ability when posting, commenting, or replying. Any help or insight is much appreciated 🙏 (And I did check for app updates, there are none pending.)

Are quests only able to be made my subscribers?? I wanted to see if there was any ace or aro book quests but couldn’t see any so wanted to make my own.

Love the fireplace! It’s so cozy and just brings a little bit of joy everytime I look at it:)

Yesterday I deleted Instagram again For the sake of my own mental health. But I still want to see some lifestyle, book, feminism, home decor, gardening content. All the things I stayed on Instagram for for so long.

So my question: do you have some feel good youTubers? The ones you actually are excited when they post a new video. The ones who dont brainrot you but you rather feel better and smarter after watching them. Just like our pagebound Vibe here :)

Languages could be English or German.

Thank you for your help!
