This might be oddly specific, but you know that feeling when you see a rainbow? At least for me, it just makes me feel so happy!

I was wondering whether there were any books that give you that feeling of pure happiness for no real reason — just like rainbows do (for me).

i want to get into more classics this year but i’m not quite sure where to start. i’ve read a couple in the past but those were for school so im not sure where to start on my own

if you are someone who likes reading classics, i’d love recommendations of where i should start

How do you feel about posting in empty book forums?

How would you feel if a forum have many posts but from the same person? Is it annoying?

I'm reading a book with so little posts in the forum and I feel restricted on -in?- the amount of posts I should make. I don't think it's that much of a problem tbh, I can just do whatever I wanna do as long as its not really too many posts. But I wanna know someone else's opinion on this too.

How is it that most times, when I check and English book on Amazon, the most expensive copy is the kindle one. I swear. So many times.

And while most times the hard copy is the most expensive, too often it's less expensive or as expensive as the flexible one.

Do y'all just never buy the flexible copy?

Edit: I was informed it isn't called flexible copy, but paperback

I need fantasy books recommendations I just need more

How many books do you guys read at a time? And how do you decide when to read them? Do you pick a book for during the day & then one during the night?

Do you find it easier to post and join in the forum conversations with nonfiction or fiction?

I’ve found since joining Pagebound that while reading nonfiction, my brain is engaging in a more questioning and learning way so I find that I have comments to share but when I read fiction I just get taken on a journey and no matter my good intentions of sharing my thoughts I get to the end of the book and my brain is just like yay story!

How do you find it? And what kind of things do you do to engage how you respond to fiction texts?

So my question is fairly simple. If your fave book or your current book is was an animal or had animal traits what would it look like? Or if it were human what would it look like, be wearing?

Zoomorphism is the literary and artistic practice of attributing animal forms, traits, or behaviors to humans, gods, or inanimate objects.

Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, intentions, or physical characteristics to non-human entities, such as animals, inanimate objects, or natural phenomena.

hello lovely PB folks

i wanna know which series you have completely unintentionally (or intentionally) abandoned, bc i hope i'm not the only one to have unfinished series in her shelf 💀 rip

and i don't mean series you have DNF'ed bc they turned out to not be your taste, i mean like series you started reading and ended up actually liking. maybe also even already getting the sequel to continue but then for it to end up on your TBR bc other books where just more interesting 💀😭

for me it's the Caraval, The Prison Healer and Daughter of the Pirate King Series 🥲 for all these series i already own the 2nd book but they've ended up on my TBR 💀 and i fear they'll continue to be there for a while 😬 i still wanna read them tho!

spill the tea guys, which series are still waiting for you to finish them and why 😔

I believe @bbyoozi has made a similar post in the past here, and I found myself thinking of the post today. It was such a great way to get diverse book suggestions and also know about everyone. Since we have a lot of new members joining us , I thought it would be a fun way to see how diverse this community has gotten as it grows. So, What book/literary genre/sub-genre do you think best describes your country? You can provide as many diverse examples as you like. I will go first, the literature from my country varies by region quite vastly and by languages. However one over-arching theme that is widely written about and unifies it all is partition related literature and writing on colonialism.

Have you ever been a victim of a crime done to your books?

Say, you let somebody borrow one of your books and it came back wrecked. A furbaby finding your book a nice snack Or you found something gross in a library book.

For Me:

On my shelf right now there is a personalized, signed paperback of Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard. The previous owner annotated the book in pen for the first chapter only before DNF'ing....

ON A SIGNED BOOK!

I've been wanting to read books that are focused on family dynamics, particularly those between siblings. I read a lot of sweet, lighthearted romance, and I often find myself craving for more of the relationship between a main character and their sibling who is a side character and often times gets only a handful of scenes (but they standout so much to me). I'm looking for books that aren't very intense with too many intense and hard-hitting themes. I will read them, but it's not what I want right now. Bonus points if it's YA.
