Hello all! While the age old saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" is a good lesson to live by particularly in reference to people, I think we've all found ourselves buying a book or being offput by one based on the cover once or twice (or many times beyond that). I recently subscribed to a fantasy book subscription box and the covers are absolutely GORGEOUS. I'll be the first to admit that a pretty book has a way of enticing me, even if its just enticing me to read the back cover. So, I thought I'd pose this question to the masses of Pagebound and give myself an oppurtunity to not only get book recommendations (perhaps), but also look at some beautiful covers. So, what are some of your favorite books covers? They don't even have to be books you've read (or even liked), but a cover that captivated or stuck with you. I'd love to hear your top picks, and hopefully they'll inspire even more books on to my TBR. Some of my personal favorites: The "Emily Wilde" series by Heather Fawcett. I haven't read all three yet, but I'm obsessed with the covers. I don't typically buy hard cover copies of books, but the original US "Encyclopaedia of Faeries" cover was so beautiful to me. I haven't yet read "A Study in Drowning" by Ava Reid , but the cover of both the first and second book I love. Another book I haven't read, but love the cover, "Anatomy" by Dana Schwartz. It's simple but so effective! I'm eager to hear your favorites!

What books do you hate but other people love? I really hated the Kingdom of the Wicked, Shatter Me, and Red Queen series, they were all DNFs for me 😩

i'm going on a loooong flight in december (14 hours just one of them!) and i'm trying to decide what should i do as entertainment, besides watching movies on the plane. and instead of bringing a physical book, i thought an e-reader would be a good investment, considering i should save my phone's battery. but i've been having a lot of issues deciding which one, kindle or kobo? i know, amazon is evil, i know, but i do have already a lot of books there and idk how kobo is or how easy it is to send books to the kobo. i really like that i can send books thru email with kindle. thoughts?

just a rave post about how great libraries are! i’ve just joined one for the first time since i was a kid, and i’ve recently moved to a city so the organisation of libraries is just 1000 times better than where i was before. and i just love it. like what do you mean i can place holds on a bunnnnch of books im dying to read, and then get a cute little email when one of them is ready, for free??? amazing a book ive wanted to read for literally ever has just arrived at my local library for me and i genuinely can’t wait to go and pick it up 😅 so a post about how great libraries are, and if you have one near you, go sign up!!!
