Hi! I'm Sage and I read books as a way out of the real world and as a way to find myself :) I primarily read MG and YA books with LGBTQ+ rep. Fantasy, mystery, and romance are my favorite genres.

    Project Nought Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.25 or (8.3/10) Characters - 8 Atmosphere - 9 Writing - 8 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 9 Logic - 8 Enjoyment - 8 This book was very intriguing and there were definitely parts where I was like "Wow! Was not expecting that" which I enjoyed :) The characters were cute, but they brought out some important points to think about. And I feel like the the issues in the book represent real issues IRL, which I also appreciated! I loved the art and overall, this was a sweet book 💖

    A Silent Voice, Volume 5 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (7.6/10) Characters - 7 Atmosphere - 8 Writing - 8 Plot - 7 Intrigue - 8 Logic - 7 Enjoyment - 8 Another wild roller coaster. A little bit happier than the last towards the end. But the ending was shocking. Hoping things get better! 🤞

    A Silent Voice, Volume 4 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (8.1/10) Characters - 7 Atmosphere - 8 Writing - 8 Plot - 7 Intrigue - 7 Logic - 7 Enjoyment - 7 Not as exciting as the others and honestly, quite heartbreaking to be honest. But it was still a great book and it touched how on the flaws of people and why certain people act the way they do :)

    Not Quite A Ghost Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 or (8.6/10) Characters - 8 Atmosphere - 9 Writing - 9 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 9 Logic - 8 Enjoyment - 9 I really enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! The chronic illness rep was amazing, especially with how it showed most doctors today treat people who have them, especially young people. I also liked how the book showed the value of true friendship and that sometimes you have to leave behind friendships and people who don't want to stay in your life or care about you in the way that they should. The paranormal/horror part could have been carried out more but it is middle grade and it was still delivered well so that's why this book is getting 4.5 stars from me! 💖

    A Silent Voice, Volume 1 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (7.7/10) Characters - 7 Atmosphere - 8 Writing - 8 Plot - 8 Intrigue - 8 Logic - 7 Enjoyment - 8 This story was simple and interesting, but also very real. So definitely realistic fiction and a slice of life style. It was funny at first and then got sad and real quickly. The MMC feels understandable to an extent, but needs to make some serious changes and fix things. I'm interested in learning more about the FMC because I want to see how she really feels. I also love the art style and I'm definitely excited to continue the series! ❤️

    What book from this list are you most looking forward to reading? I think mine has to be The Many Mysteries of the Finkel Family because I really enjoyed Get a Grip, Vivy Cohen! and I'm interested to see how they compare since they're by the same author. :)

  • Product & Dev Update 1/22/25

    Hi everyone! I'm back with another product update. We're working full force on the app (which I know many of you are excited about, including myself 😅) and have managed to squeeze out a few improvements to the site over the past few weeks: 1. You can *finally* edit reading dates and track rereads 🥳 we have always been tracking your start/end dates and rereads on the backend, but this feature allows you to see all that data and edit it. You can access and edit these dates by clicking the book status icon and clicking the "add or edit dates read" toggle. 2. You can now leave a written review without submitting a star rating 3. Some UI improvements to reviews (you always see your review first on the Book Page, clicking the stars on the book page does not edit your overall star rating, and some adjustments to the review card that makes reading long reviews easier) Thanks to all who wrote in with feedback, book dupes, and bugs! And a big thanks to everyone for making Pagebound so warm and welcoming - our community is growing and its been so great to see everyone connecting and supporting each other. Happy Reading, Team Pagebound 💜💙
