i have no idea if this would ever be possible, but thought i’d mention something i’ve always wanted out of a book app (literally i think about this every time i use storygraph) i’d looove if when adding a book to my tbr, i could add just a little note where i can document where i found out about the book and why in that moment im so intrigued to read it i just find my tbr can get so long i often look through it and see many books in which i have no recollection of where it was recommended to me, or why i was excited by it. especially as i tend to get my recommendations from many many sources. does this sound like something anybody else would enjoy too? perhaps could be a future suggestion the the page bound creators

i have no idea if anyone else here watches booktubers but just wanted to rave a little about my favourite booktuber, booksandlala. if you’re into horror, lit fit, weird books, (and a little bit of romance/fantasy) i honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. i get so many of my book recs from her and her videos are all about reading and are sooo creative and fun. also a big fan of the most popular booktuber, jack edwards. does anyone else have any booktuber recommendations? especially if their content is horror based 🤩

as the title says, just feel i could do with reading more amazing books that go under the radar a little bit. especially looking for any recs that fall under the categories of horror, thriller, mystery and lit fic (especially characters unravelling/strange lit)

Some people try not to read reviews before they start a book to not get subconciously influenced. I read a few reviews beforehand. Bad reviews don't stop me from starting a book (I enjoyed books in the past that have low overall ratings) but I want to know in advance if the author is shady or put anything in the book I don't like (racist, ableist or transphobic stuff, HP references, surprise pregnancy and so on). Let me know what you think :)

I get my recommendations from bookstagram! And mostly from people i follow on Goodreads. And especially from here on pagebound (I'm actually seeing lot of amazing underrated books and added it to my tbr). So I'm curious to know where & how do you find books to read and add to you tbr?

Do you have a personal criteria in DNFing a book? I try to get through 25% of a book or 3-5 chapters, whichever comes first, before I decide, "okay this one's not it for me". But I let myself sit in the feeling for about a week or two before I officially call it quits and maybe return the library book early. I also dont usually consider myself reading the book on a book tracker until I feel like I'm considerably hooked in it so sometimes I consider them unread rather than DNF.
