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.

So my dad is a major 🍊 and 🧊 supporter so naturally he says some (a lot) of racist and homophobic things. If he's not talking about politics he's talking about Mexican, Arabic, or gay people. I've started to keep count of every time he says something messed up or out of pocket and the next time I go with him to a store that has books, I use his money to add another lgbtq book or a book about or written by a non white person to my collection. It's like my own little rebellion or revenge and I love being petty. It also just gives me the chance to specifically get more diverse books because i do need more of them. He never checks the books I get because he knows nothing about them other then the fact that I read all the time. Is this something that other people do to or am I just creatively spiteful?? The reason this is on my mind is because I just did this with him today lol I would ask if this is wrong of me but I feel like it's not. He's also fully aware that he's the one paying for the books. He just doesn't pay attention to them.
Edit: I changed some wording and I also want to add that I am completely safe in doing this which is why I'm doing it. Everyone in this community is so sweet ily all❤️

I’ve been thinking a lot about the overlap between people who devour books and people who sink hours into video games.
If you’re a reader and a gamer, I’m curious: • What are you playing right now? • Do you gravitate toward story-heavy games, cozy games, chaotic multiplayer, RPGs? • Do you feel like gaming scratches the same itch as reading - or a totally different one?
And if you don’t game, I’d love to know why. No judgment - just genuinely interested in how these hobbies intersect (or don’t).
I’m fascinated by the reader/gamer venn diagram. Where do you land?

Happy Sunday, friends! Today I tried a new thing and I wanted to share ☺️
In a lot of my fantasy books, especially myth retellings or anything where there are large feasts, there are always dates. The way they've been described has made me want to try them forever. They've been described as sweet and usually served with or as dessert, almost gummy or fudgy in texture. I've had enough of not knowing!!
I managed to get some medjool dates, and I am here to tell you I freaking get it. It was like eating an all natural fruit gummy bear. I could eat this entire container right now, but I think that might be too much action for the lower digestive system 😅 They are sweet and taste like candy made by trees. I can absolutely understand why they make an appearance in abundance on fantasy feast tables.
Have you ever tried foods from books?
