Sometimes out of nowhere I'll think of characters and get so homesick and emotional about them. I especially feel that way about Robin Hobb's characters, occasionally about Lockwood and Co and ASOIAF too. Does it happen to you too and if yes which characters do you miss the most?

I get most reading done on weekends. This particular weekend, it seems, has been a dollar-store rollercoaster ride that may end too soon. 🫠

I’m wondering if I should fake sick so I get to read all day with nobody bothering me. 🤒 Or simply adopt a hermit life from now on with no calendars in sight.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. There are mighty readers on PB who read at a voracious speed on weekends!

Hiiii everyone!!!!👋

I wanted to ask you if you have a place/object that you've read about in a book and that stuck with you so much that every time you see that place/object it immediately reminds you about that book?

It's a bit embarrassing but for me, for example, it's the ferris wheel🎡. When I was younger, I was so obsessed with Divergent 😅 and that particular scene with the ferris wheel that now when I see one, my mind goes immediately to Tris and Four ahahah

Can't wait to read all your comments👀👀

Hello everyone! I've been obsessed with Pagebound since I first joined. Reading has been one of my hobbies since childhood and I never gave up. So joining Pagebound brought me so much joy by making it possible to interact with people who have fallen in love with reading recently or have always loved it. What I'm really curious to know is, what's your favorite thing about Pagebound? It can be something oddly specific or just something more general!

Man, I need to start reading the synopsis instead of jumping blindly into these books. What in God's name did I just read? (I'm not upset about it, I just wasn't mentally ready.) Funny thing is, I work in Healthcare and the whole time I was trying to diagnose shawty 😭

What are everyones favorite pieces of media beyond books? I made a template below but feel free to add to it/delete from it as you see fit.

I have really fell of the wagon with these, so I will try to remember them when I can, but life is busy busy busy right now 😭

My question for you all today is:

What I’m learning is that this book is not quick read. I NEED to slow down to really feel Vuong’s prose. I forget that oftentimes in non-adventure books. It’s okay to read slowly.
