Real life librarian on the hunt for something to make me feel as alive as I did when I was tearing through the Twilight saga for the first time.

    “I don’t know what to say . . .” “You could start with ‘thank you.’”

    Thoughts from 3% (page 9)

    I usually try not to be This Person but there's a line about Anna singing along to a Michael Bublé Christmas album in the year 2000 which didn't feel right to me so I spent four seconds googling his discography and sure enough, he didn't have any albums out until 2001 and no Christmas album until a decade later...

    It's not that I care this much about Michael Bublé, it just doesn't bode well for how much the authors care about the specific 2000 setting other than the triple holiday coincidence - time will tell!

  • Your TBR before vs after PB

    What was your TBR before and after Pagebound?

    Mine was a humble 20, now it's 40+ and my interested in has over 90 books 😀

    I honestly thought I'd go through my whole TBR by joining this but it seems to have the opposite effect 😂

  • Tuck Everlasting 50th anniversary

    I listened to the new audio adaptation and just finished the brand new graphic novel!

    The only bummer is the graphic novel is listed as an edition of the original book instead of its own separate book. I submitted this as a bug, but is there anything else I should try? I would like to track each of them on their own.

    Thanks!

  • Audiobook Speed

    How fast are you guys listening to audiobooks? It may just be the ADHD, but I almost always listen at 1.5x speed minimum if not 1.8x or 2x speed. And often if I think I don’t like a narrator, if I speed it up I do like them!

  • Why do you love Pagebound?

    Let's spread some love for this app, while also giving nice "tips" or reasons to stay here to the new users. I go first:

    🔸The lack of influencers. Right now this is the perfect intersection between personal and social. No ego or popularity battles, just a village full of villagers.

    I really enjoyed how in depth this was while still remaining child friendly. I don't mind reading nonfiction made for a younger audience, especially when all I want is to learn about something in simple terms. This was very informative!

    I also really liked that the author called out all these old white people as being racist and pointed back to the fact that the battle over evolution being taught in schools walked hand-in-hand with eugenics, etc.
