We're almost two thirds of the way through the fall readalong, which means we'll get to see the Winter Readalong picks soon, if I understand correctly.

So I'd love to pick your brains - I was wondering, both for the Fall Readalong and for the Dias de los Muertos readalong (or just one of them if you prefer, I don't make the rules)...

• how did you like the selections overall?

• which books, if any, turned out to be sleeper hits for you that you enjoyed better than you thought you would?

• which books, if any, were perhaps sleeper "fails" for you, in that you enjoyed them less than expected?

• if you didn't read all the book options: what made you choose the one(s) you ended up reading?

• if you read all of them: how would you rank them and how did you enjoy the full package overall?

• for those who have been here for a year and more: how did the Fall 2025 readalong compare to the Fall 2024 readalong in your opinion?

• any other fun thoughts, questions, observations, tributes to my black cat, hopes, dreams, plans for world domination?

Let's chat 🥰

I’ve been trying for weeks now to add books to Pagebound, but they haven’t been added. I just started one of the books and wanted to mark it as currently reading, but it’s still not popping up. I submitted the link again about 40 minutes ago and nothing. I’ve submitted the GR links on the app, as well as on the website, but nothing seems to be working. Is there something I’m not doing right?

Hey!! I loved reading seasonal books as it makes me appreciate the year more and stay present. I have a few Christmas books lined up but wondered if people know of any winter themed books not about christmas? So stuff about new years and later I could read in Jan/Feb to help with the cold months? I like romance only really (helps my mental health) and things like pumpkin spice cafe vibes. Both smut and non are fine by me!!

I’m wanting to DNF so badly. I thought this was going to be a fantastic time, but the fmc is truly the most stupid character I’ve ever read. And don’t get me started on her monologues of having an undesirable body type of small waist, big curves and big breasts, small nose and big eyes. PUH-LEASE.
