I was wondering which page people log when they're putting in what page on they're on with books. Do you put in the page you've just completed or the page you're about to start?

I just found out about this book today and I am all but frothing at the mouth right now! This is perhaps the highlight of my week! This novella is currently set to be released in November, and will be not-so-patiently waiting if anyone would care to join me! I NEEEEED more of Elfhame!

and does that influence you to read a book? do you gravitate towards your favorites, or do other colors compel you more?

personally, my favorite colors are green (sage, but really any muted, earthy green) and deep purples. i did buy the pretty green edition of Legends & Lattes over the standard cover because the color is gorgeous. i feel like i don't see much purple around—maybe i'm just not looking hard enough?

but it's red and black covers that really catch my eye. separate or together, but mostly together; it's one of the most striking color combinations to me. my favorite example is Clown in a Cornfield (i promise this post isn't just another way for me to promote Clown in a Cornfield). maybe it's just because i read a lot of horror, but i feel like it's hard to make a red and black cover look bad. is that just me? does anyone else have any great combos?

bonus question: would you buy a physical edition of a book you really didn't like if the color would look good with the aesthetic of your room/living space?

Hi P.Bees!

OK, so a few days ago, I made a post asking what the PageBound Public thinks about Dark Romance. And I really enjoyed reading through different opinions and thoughts. So I decided to bring in a new discussion topic: about A.I. in books.

This spans from using AI in a creative process to using its exact words and paragraphs to write the book or to even use AI art as the cover. There are two discussions under this really, bc there is the discussion of how A.I in general is harming our society in many ways, and how A.I undermines the very creativity in writing (and other art forms). Some people think that A.I. has its incredible uses and even when not writing the book itself, can bring in a wealth of information or ideas at the writer's disposal. While some believe that A.I, like I explained earlier, not only negatively affects the general public, but undermines real human creativity, ideas, capabilities, and soul.

So! Feel free to discuss any part of this prompt, whether it's for or against A.I, or an in-between, and give reason why.

I have been going through a pretty hard time emotionally these past few weeks and have just not been ok but reading has helped so much, I can just immerse myself into an unreal world and just forget everything. And then I stop and it all comes crashing down again. I was just wondering if any of you have had any similar experiences or any books that have helped you? Not trying to trauma dump or anything just wanna hear what yall have to say. ~Annie

Hello everyone! I often listen to music while reading. I know most of these kind of people have a specific playlist for when they're reading. However I just put my Gracie Abrams playlist most of the time.

For those who also are able to listen to music while reading do you guys just make a playlist or do you listen only to a music artist of your choice like me?? Do you just put a random playlist??

Do any of you play the new Tomodachi Life? If yes which book characters have you added and what crazy stuff has already happened on your island?

For me Fitz was going to confess his feelings for the Fool but then Jonathan Sims walked in and the Fool picked Jon.

Now Fitz is depressed and won‘t talk to anyone (once he talks to me again I‘ll give him Nighteyes)

Anyway I‘m currently trying to gaslight the Fool and Jon into believing that their feelings for eachother are not real

So far I‘ve also created Jackie and Shauna from Yellowjackets, and unfortuanatly eating your frozen corpse has become the top activity my miis talk about

For 3 days, I was able to break a habit out of doomscrolling at night and falling asleep without the use of my phone. Ended up breaking it and got me feeling a lil slumped about it 😔

But !!! I can now reflect how my mood and mental state had felt amazing in those 3 days than it has been for months now. I began to appreciate the little goals in my life and how I want to focus more on my positives than the negatives.

So, as motivation to get me back (and hopefully motivation for y'all), what's something recently you've done that made you feel proud of? A little goal of yours or something that gave you a nice refresh, feel free to share ♡

Everyone deserves a congratulatory bouquet 💐 no matter how small or big your positives were, you all still got up to achieve it

I want to read books written by authors from different countries. Every country. Obviously there are a looooot of countries so it will take a while and researching books for each country will already take a while, so I am asking for help.

Please suggest good/interesting books from your country (that are translated into english or german) so I can add them to my list! 🥰

For now you can suggest any genre (I especially like non fiction, fantasy, ya, queer literature, sci fi, cozy stuff) I would especially like books that play in your country tho. 🙂‍↕️

Thank you guys 🫶

Edit: I have just made a list with books I got recommended or found on the Internet. You can check it out on my profile if you are interested. 🥰
