Hello pageboundies, I've been hoping to find some moots from the same country, I haven't had any luck, so, I'm bringing the question here: where are you from? I'm from Portugal 🇵🇹 and need more bookish friends (: feel free to use this post to find your own!!

I swear the text on the feed and in discussions got larger. Am I crazy?

whenever i read at a coffee shop/the subway/outside my house in general, i tend to listen to music in my headphones to neutralize ambient noise and help me focus. this has culminated in me occasionally making playlists for specific books to match the vibes of what i'm reading.

does anyone else do this? if yes, what kind of music do you listen to for different books? do you make playlists or do you choose one theme song per book and loop it while you read (something i also do for some books lol which probably counts as auditory stimming)?

I recently ended my relationship with my mom due to som highly toxic behavior and horrible things that were said to me. I’m struggling and looking for recommendations to deal with that childhood abandonment coming back or just self help Books on this issue. I usually read only fiction - but right now I need something to help me through this time and validation on my feelings. Any recommendations? ❤️

Curious if anyone else here sneaks in reading while they're at work 😂 I'm a part-time customer service rep at a grocery store while I'm in college and I always bring a book to my shifts. Usually I can hide behind the counter and read when there's no customers or anything else to do. Do you bring a book? Ebook? Earbuds for an audiobook? Or do you have to begrudgingly wait till you get home? 😂

What's one thing you learned this week from your reading? It can be a fact, a random curiosity, a beautiful line, or even something you realized about yourself! My Tidbit: Intentional slow reading is changing how I approach other books too. I started a fantasy novel I hated and wanted to DNF, but I slowed down to the point that I actually reread the opening chapters and found little flakes of gold under the mess. Still up in the air if I'll actually like the book, but I'm glad I looked again.

As for some Pagebound related trivia: I'm reading Algospeak by Adam Aleksic and I learned about Sociolect, a form of language used by a particular social group (pg 31/247), so for us Boundlings it would be like our use of the word 'Yoink'! For those of you who have been on Pagebound longer than I have, I would love to hear some of the other popular sociolects that have been used!

If you could pack one suitcase and move into any fictional home immediately - where are you going?

Drafty castles absolutely count. So do crooked cottages, dramatic cliffside mansions, hobbit holes, chaotic city apartments, enchanted libraries, and suspiciously affordable small-town farmhouses.

Are you:

🌧️ Living your best moody life in a crumbling estate?

🌿 Baking bread in a cozy woodland cottage?

📚 Secretly hoping your house comes with hidden passageways and a mildly concerning attic?

🕯️ Choosing vibes over structural integrity?

Drop the book + the home + one reason you’d survive (or absolutely wouldn’t).

Bonus: what’s the first thing you’re decorating or rearranging when you move in?

Let’s see where PageBound is relocating.
