what's the last book(s) you've bought?? mine are We have always lived in the castle, by Shirley Jackson, and Sworn Virgin, by Elvira Dones the first one, a friend recommended it to me, as I want to get into the genre and she thinks this is a good one to start with. also it should be a bit psychological I think? that aspect is the one that interests me more tbh as for the second, I have to read it for a bookclub I'm part of at school, and the prof gave us the title the writer is Albanian, which is honestly one more reason to read it, and it is inspired by tradition. basically, I've discovered that in some places in North Albania you could live as a man, even though you were born a woman, by swearing lifelong chastity I'm really excited to start both of these honestly!!

Out of curiosity, how do you do it?! Are you a naturally fast reader? Do you read several hours a day? Listen to audiobooks? As someone who LOVES to read but is a naturally slow reader, I’m always fascinated when I see users with so many books read per year.

Okay so - I already owned a kindle which I bought 2 years ago, a 11th gen paperwhite, and it's perfectly fine. HOWEVER. Back when I bought it, I had no idea that other ereaders besides kindles even existed - which I could kick myself for, because I would've loved having a Kobo but by the time I learned about Kobos it was too late :') Ever since I first got my kindle, I was annoyed by how locked down it was, and how any time you're not in a book it's trying to sell you something, but I endured. Well! Fast forward to last week, and I finally got around to jailbreaking it and I love it now. I'm free from Amazon's shackles, and can load all my books onto my kindle without having them encrypted and it's so straightforward and easy. But it was only a few days after I jailbroke that I was like - okay, I need a backup incase anything ever happens to this one, since I know that of course Amazon won't just let us get away with this. So I went on ebay, bought a 4th gen kindle (the one with all the buttons on it) for $20, and not even two days after I bought that kindle there's an update that Amazon released an update that prevents people from jailbreaking and potentially even breaks kindles that are already jailbroken upon update (luckily for me, I already had mine set up to block updates, but it was a really close call). So I really patted myself on the back there for having the foresight to get a backup just in case. You might be wondering why I bought another Kindle if I was already complaining about Amazon's lockdowns, but trust me, I did my research, I knew my budget, and the 4th gen was the best pick for me - abandoned by amazon so doesn't get updates, fully functional, right AND left-handed buttons(!! Huge for me, as a leftie), and only $20 to boot. I was sold! And so it was only a matter of jailbreaking it, which is still possible since, again, it doesn't receive updates. I got it in the mail today and feverishly went through the complicated set-up and jailbreak process and voila, successfully running on KoReader and downloaded my books onto it. I love it!! I cannot even tell you how much I missed buttons and I absolutely adore the chrome casing. I'm so excited to read on it!

Heyyyy. 🤗I couldn't find a lot of these posts so I wanted to post here and see if anybody had some Christian book recommendations? ✝️I'm a non denom Christian and prefer books with no spice. Also with M/F characters, low swear words ( preferably no f-words), and I can't really find lots of books like that to read. It's kind of disappointing. 🙁 I do read books with no mention of God though. But it would be nice to have one where he is a central theme. Does anybody know of any? Thank you in advanceee😁😁

Edit: Some people have been saying my post has been offensive, so I'm sorry if it was.These are really just my preferences, I know that a lot of people are part of the Pride community here, I didn't mean any offense.

Second edit: You guys are all attacking me for my beliefs. I get that it offended you and I will keep all of that in mind the next time I post anything potentially offensive. Clearly, all of us here have different opinions and perspectives and I think we should all try to respect that. However I won’t continue to comment as I have already apologized multiple times. If everyone keeps wanting to attack me, that is your choice, but I don’t know what else to say or do. I have different beliefs than most of you here, clearly. And that’s okay. There are dozens and dozens and dozens of different political views and religions. I was told by many people that Pagebound was a safe community where you can voice your opinions and still be respected. All of the negative comments and downvotes have disproved that illusion. I liked Pagebound, and I still do, but I would love it even more if we could have and voice different opinions without having to worry about being shut down.

I still don’t trust Shi Mei, there’s something going on with him
