The Late-Night Witches

Auralee Wallace

An enchantingly warm and funny novel about family, love lost and found, discovering who you are, and how difficult it is to slay a vampire from the beloved national bestselling author of the TikTok sensation In the Company of Witches. Cassie Beckett’s life is anything but magical. With a wild younger sister, three unruly kids, and an absent husband, she’s really not looking forward to the witching month of October. At least the gorgeous, foggy Prince Edward Island is always quiet. That is, until the vampires arrive. As the creatures sink their teeth into Cassie’s tenuous grip on normalcy, she’s forced to come face-to-face with long–disregarded family secrets. The legacy gifts her with power, but also a lofty rid the island of vampires, or let them win. (Both options suck, in more ways than one.) Armed with her family, newfound friends, and a baby in a spectacularly garlicky onesie, Cassie must learn what it is to be a witch and how to fight for what she loves before time runs out. Because on Halloween night, the stakes will be higher than ever before...and it’s up to Cassie to finish what the witches that came generations before her started.

Maternidades Cuir

Gracia Trujillo

Este libro que tienes en las manos es una compilación de voces de madres, trans* y cis, no heterosexuales y/o no heteronormativas —esto último, como ha podido o le ha parecido a cada una—. Desde el principio pensamos que el término que más se acerca al conjunto amplio de las maternidades que recorren estas páginas es ese, queer/cuir/kuir. Lo hemos titulado Maternidades cuir, pero también podría haber sido Queerizando la maternidad: estas páginas hablan de queerizar, de torcer, de tortillear, de atravesar, redefinir, cuestionar —y un largo etcétera— ese ideal de «maternidad» que nos encorseta y agobia. Más que una grande y libre, aquí hay relatos de maternidades en plural, con nuestros cuerpos y vidas en el centro, desobedientes e incómodos con y para las normas sexogenéricas. Estas páginas están atravesadas por el deseo, el amor, y también el dolor. Esta es una pequeña muestra, a modo de fotografía (no fija) de nuestras maternidades, afectos y familias cuir, que plantean una serie de retos y aportan, pensamos, muchas ideas relevantes para los feminismos y su análisis sobre las maternidades —que sigue muy heterocentrado—; para la lucha lgtbi, que necesita seguir recargando las pilas feministas, y para el cambio social en general.

Passing Through Purgatory (Passing Through Cafe, #1)

Nik Knight

When Oliver applied for a job in the Hell dimension on a whim, he didn’t expect it to turn his whole world—or his heart—entirely upside down.Recently graduated at twenty-six, and two months behind on rent, Oliver Barnes is desperate. So desperate, in fact, that he applies for a job in the Greed district of Hell’s Pentagram. But when he misses his train and, subsequently, his job interview, he stumbles, instead, upon a strange little coffee shop in the middle of Purgatory’s barren desert—and into an unexpected opportunity. It isn’t the job he came to Hell for, but maybe it’s exactly the job he needs. As he navigates the demon dimension and tries to survive the ridiculous shenanigans of his unholy co-workers, Oliver soon falls head-over-ass for a tentacled lawyer with electric fingers and a deadly-sharp grin. Together, they discover that, sometimes, love and happiness can be just a train ride away. Join Oliver and the rest of the eccentric staff of The Passing Through Cafe in Nik Knight’s new rom-com urban fantasy series, full of found family, embarrassing encounters, spicy situations, and love that crosses dimensions

Learning Curves

Rachel Lacey

From the author of Stars Collide and Cover Story comes a steamy will-they-won’t-they romance about a bright young teacher reconnecting with the jaded professor she once pined for. For Audrey Lind, working with clay still evokes memories of her favorite professor. The woman’s zeal for art history ignited Audrey’s own academic career—and her tweed blazers and British accent kindled her first female crush. After fate brings Audrey back to Northshire University to teach, she’s thrilled to be working alongside her former mentor, but the grumpy woman she encounters upon her return is nothing like the dynamo she remembers. Divorce and a stalling career have turned Dr. Michelle Thompson bitter and guarded. When Audrey swoops in to teach the Women in Art class Michelle’s been pitching for years, she longs to hate her. But her young rival is too kind, too enthusiastic, too irresistible. And her passion for life slowly reawakens Michelle’s own. Wary of age gaps and workplace politics, they suppress their smoldering attraction—until one wine-filled night at the pottery wheel puts their romantic truce to the test. Will they keep things on the tenure track or risk it all for love?

Summoning Mr. Wrong (Or Maybe Right): MM Fantasy Romance (Hotter than Hell)

Callie Colby

A broke college grad with bad luck. A demon who refuses to leave my couch.I was just trying to manifest some abundance. Light a candle, chant a little, maybe get lucky with rent money.Instead, I woke up to six feet of smug, tattooed demon lounging in my living room, eating my cereal and mocking my life choices.Apparently, I signed some kind of contract, and now he can’t leave until he fulfills a “favor.” Which, so far, has meant reorganizing my kitchen, sabotaging my dating apps, and making suggestive comments every time I so much as look at him.Asmodeus is arrogant, ridiculously hot, and way too domestic for someone who claims to be an ancient being of darkness. And the longer he sticks around, the more suspicious I get.Because his idea of a “favor” doesn’t look like torment at all. It looks a lot like trying to win my heart.

I’m dipping my toes into the kindle smut world (expect to see me reviewing some much more questionable titles soon) and it’s interesting to see how formulaic it is. This has some novel elements (like the tattoos) and I rather enjoyed the beginning but some of the dialogue at this stage was a bit mental eye roll inducing. Still fun, though!

Design updates to announce!! (9/26/25)

Hi everyone! We have submitted the app for app store approvals, so it should be publicly available very soon 🤞 In line with that, we have some very exciting design updates to share.

A new logo You’ve likely noticed the new logo and Pagebound icon, now visible on web. Since our app and website design are sisters, not twins, we redesigned the logo to tie both together. We won’t be changing the web design to match the app, so you can choose the experience and aesthetic that you prefer. We think each design suits its interface well, while retaining the whimsy and magic that is the spirit of Pagebound.

We also wanted more flexible and beautiful iconography that could work across app, web, socials (and that would look really cute on merch! 👀), and we’ve definitely achieved that with our new PB icon. We worked with illustrator Mariam Chagelishvili to create it and are thrilled to share that you’ll see more of her work soon…

Updated avatars (with new ones to come) We are excited to announce that we will be rolling out additional avatars for you to choose from—these “avatar packs” will be unlocked with each level you achieve on Pagebound. Check out the 2 new avatar options with Level 2 👀🎉

We’ve always known that as we grew, we’d need more options—lest every single comment come from the ghost 🙃. With Pagebound’s rapid growth, we’ve outpaced my ability to keep up with drawing new avatars. I’m happy to share that Mariam has taken over avatar creation and deserves all the praise for the future avatar packs releasing soon as well as the revamp you may have noticed to your current avatar. Through the lens of her own style, we asked her to preserve the essence of our OGs while creating a design system flexible enough to fit new concepts (ps I cannot wait until we release our cute vegetable pack 🥕)

We hope you love these visual changes that are a marker of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve grown!

Ideias Para Adiar o Fim do Mundo

Ailton Krenak

Uma parábola sobre os tempos atuais, por um de nossos maiores pensadores indígenas. Ailton Krenak nasceu na região do vale do rio Doce, um lugar cuja ecologia se encontra profundamente afetada pela atividade de extração mineira. Neste livro, o líder indígena critica a ideia de humanidade como algo separado da natureza, uma "humanidade que não reconhece que aquele rio que está em coma é também o nosso avô". Essa premissa estaria na origem do desastre socioambiental de nossa era, o chamado Antropoceno. Daí que a resistência indígena se dê pela não aceitação da ideia de que somos todos iguais. Somente o reconhecimento da diversidade e a recusa da ideia do humano como superior aos demais seres podem ressignificar nossas existências e refrear nossa marcha insensata em direção ao abismo. "Nosso tempo é especialista em produzir ausências: do sentido de viver em sociedade, do próprio sentido da experiência da vida. Isso gera uma intolerância muito grande com relação a quem ainda é capaz de experimentar o prazer de estar vivo, de dançar e de cantar. E está cheio de pequenas constelações de gente espalhada pelo mundo que dança, canta e faz chover. [...] Minha provocação sobre adiar o fim do mundo é exatamente sempre poder contar mais uma história." Desde seu inesquecível discurso na Assembleia Constituinte, em 1987, quando pintou o rosto com a tinta preta do jenipapo para protestar contra o retrocesso na luta pelos direitos indígenas, Krenak se destaca como um dos mais originais e importantes pensadores brasileiros. Ouvi-lo é mais urgente do que nunca. Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo é uma adaptação de duas conferências e uma entrevista realizadas em Portugal, entre 2017 e 2019.
