Just curious, what's your reading routine like?
I recently got over a months-long reading slump and I've finally gotten back into the habit of reading every day. These days, I usually read during short work breaks, before bed and whenever I have extra time on the weekends. I also listen to audiobooks on my walks. Gotta make up for lost time 😆
What about everyone else? Do you squeeze in reading whenever you can or do you set aside a specific time for it?

This is my first time using an app to catalogue my personal reading and I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of this app and logging my reading progress, but I wanted to ask what made others who have used other apps before (e.g. Goodread, fable, etc.) switch over to Pagebound? Also Hi everyone!

We're already almost halfway through the year! How's everyone's reading going? Making progress on any goals? Any standout books so far? Any disappointments so far? What goals are you working on the rest of the year? What books are you most excited to get to?
For myself I've been making good progress on my reading goals. Some of my favorites I've read this year are Piranesi and Chain Gang All Stars. I think my least favorite I've read so far this year was She is a Haunting. Going into the second half of the year I'm hoping to earn more limited time badges and complete my reading challenges on Storygraph. Some books I'm looking forward to reading later this year are A Short Stay in Hell and Educated.

Am I the only one who LOVES to read low ratings of books they adored? I don't know why, I just love it. I find them so funny too. 🤣 And sometimes they have so much true in them but it doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to stop liking the book. Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I hope all of you have an amazing weekend!! We're in the middle of a heat wave here in Germany and I hate it so so much. I feel like the only good thing about it is that I can stay inside all day and read (but at what cost?) Do you guys have any plans for the weekend? Which books are you excited to read? I recently finished The housemaid by Freida McFadden (after accidentally reading the book by Sarah A. Denzil, which I am not mad about, it was good) and I really liked it! So I got copies of the second and third part of the series and I can't wait to read those!

Hi all, hope you’re doing well! I was thinking about how I see so many vintage books when I go shopping at my local second-hand book store. I personally don’t make an effort to collect older books (my probably oldest book is from the 70s) but I was curious as to how old your oldest copies are and what title. Feel free to post a picture too!!💕

I picked this one up not knowing anything about the book or author, intrigued by the title and cover and I’m….in awe of what I stumbled upon.

This book is...interesting. The MC pov is quite disturbed, but not yet deranged, though, "licking their fingertips" has me questioning whether this is really happening, or just a scenario playing out in her head as she sits isolated somewhere.

What a ride! Absolutely loved it.

Did this book just seriously “breasted boobily across the moors” in the first ten minutes?
