I was talking to my partner about what we used to read when we were younger and what books or series are super nostalgic to us and I was just wondering, what are some books like that for you? ☺️ Are there any books or series that are really nostalgic for you or maybe really shaped you in your younger years?

For me I think it’s probably The Hunger Games (like probably 90% of my generation😅), I just reread them as an adult for the first time and it was soooo great. Really nostalgic, but also such a different experience to read them with a fully developed frontal lobe (I’m looking at you Gale 🤨) And also (!) the infamous Warriors series (or Warrior Cats as they are called in German), I was the biggest fan (borderline obsessed tbh), I’m pretty sure I’ll never read them again, but they are very dear to my heart ❤️

But anyways, what are some of your nostalgic reads? I’m curious! 😇

I want to know what bookish names you’ve given your pets! Bonus points if you attach a photo of said pet 😁

My partner and I do pop culture related names for all of our pets, and we have many, but I realized recently that none of them are named after book characters! I’m a little embarrassed about it 😂

What's the lowest average rating you would consider reading?

I give most books I read a 3 star rating, but I was searching for books the other day and realised that I didn't add books to my TBR if they had a rating of less than 3.5, so I'm wondering if I need to rethink my rating system.

i’ve mentioned on here a couple times about how pagebound came into my life at a very lonely time, but i really want to discuss just how much vibrance this platform has brought into my life. i’ve had a lot of things happen in the past year and a half: i had to completely cut contact with the guy who used to be my closest friend due to safety reasons (a lot happened there, and i’d rather not get into detail here about it), a few months later my then-girlfriend broke up with me, a few months after that i had a major family crisis happen, and a few months after that i unexpectedly moved to another state. i pretty much lost every friend i had, and just spent all my time basically completely alone. in february i joined PB, and it feels like there’s light in my life again <3 i love having conversations with you all on here, everybody is so kind and thoughtful and just plain wonderful. i think about the people i’ve met here every single day🧡 enough of my yapping lmao. feel free to shout out your PB friends in the comments or just get sappy about PB like i did!
