Lawful Good: finishes the TBR, shows up for book club prepared Neutral Good: reads with heart and always has a thoughtful rec Chaotic Good: mood reader with good intentions and no structure Lawful Neutral: lives for reading goals, trackers, and neat little systems True Neutral: reads what sounds good and minds their business Chaotic Neutral: chooses books based on vibes, impulse, and minor delusion Lawful Evil: treats reading like a competitive sport Neutral Evil: DNFs fast and does not trust hype Chaotic Evil: currently reading six books and buying eight more

I'm probably chaotic good with occasional neutral evil tendencies. I cannot give you any semblance of a pattern to my reading choices, it's just wherever the vibes take me. The PDA of my neurodivergent brain can lean neutral evil in response to popular recs, but I'm trying to resist this tendency because I really don't want to be projecting the "not like other girls" energy that this can sometimes put forth (in my case, certainly not for every person identifying with this category).

A day late but here we are!!! You know the drill, what’s a complaint (no matter how big, small, silly, dramatic, etc) you need to shout to the void?!

I love asking this question as a party trick. Imagine the 🌋apocalypse🌋 has befallen us and all the Boundlings are living in a commune together. What skills, talents, and tomfoolery are you offering to the collective?

Are you: 🤔 a healer collecting herbs and making medicine for our booboos? 🤔 an archivist hoarding ephemera of our fallen civilization (“kids…this is an iPhone 17…”)? 🤔 the grumpy person who always votes no at the town halls?

I’m most definitely the community jester. Ring a bell and I’ll come running with levity, giggles, and something stupid to say. 🤡

I had bought a book that it’s visually stunning, but I hated the contents of it, and I don’t have the heart to donate or sell. But I also don’t plan to read. Should I just keep it as decor? I’ve also learned from this experience and now I’m using hoopla and the library to read the books before adding them to my bookshelf 🥲🫣

I wasn’t writing book reviews when I first started my Pagebound account mostly just logging and interacting with posts here and there. Kind of out of laziness. But I have been more inspired to do so, recently after I finish each book.

First thing, though, not really an objective* question; how often do you see a book review? I only see them once in a while like Less than 10% of the posts I see on my homepage.

That leads to my second question though; do you like to read book reviews on PB? And do you seek the reviews out or read them when they come across the home page?

For my third and final question; what is your preference on review length? Or does it not particularly matter to you?

I guess most of all I want to know whether or not my reviews are me shouting into the void. Because when I’m really into a book I like to chat about it, that’s what I’m doing here after all. But if you have an opinion I’d love to hear it.

*sorry for the edit, I just realized I said subjective when I meant objective sighh
