Be honest with me for a second.

Are you actually reading books right now … or are you collecting them?

Is your TBR a carefully curated reading plan, or a beautiful tower of good intentions? Are you finishing what you buy, or are you chasing the thrill of the next preorder?

No judgment. This is a safe space for the “I own it and I’ll get to it eventually” crowd.

Tell me: 📚 How many unread books are currently staring at you? 📖 And what’s stopping you from starting them?

Hello. I am not really sure if this goes on here, if it doesn't, do let me know, please! And if you could direct me towards the correct area, I would appreciate it.

I have started getting more consistent with reading, instead of taking entire weeks to read 1 book, therefore I am gonna be more active on the book forums. And I have noticed for the first time yesterday, that there is a limit of posts we can make in 24 hours? I don't know if this is a new feature? If we can surpass it by contributing to the site/app, or I was just not aware of it due to not participating as much...

But it very annoying and disruptive. Especially when a book is specifically engaging, and I am trying to read it in 1 or 2 days, I am bound to make more than 5 posts... And I think it can get quite confusing for both the person sharing their thoughts and the people reading them when I have to compile opinions from different pages into 1 single post... I think that defeats the entire purpose of a feature like that?

And if I don't wanna compile everything together, because it ends up being messy and confusing, I have to basically keep my thoughts and not write at all. And I enjoy writing what I think as I read along, and I love seeing what everyone else thinks while reading along.

I am not going to lie, but that is the main feature I even use this app for. That's what makes this place unique for me. So the limit makes no sense.

I understand there can't be infinite posts for 1 book in such a short span of time, because people could spam to infinity and beyond, but 5 is just not enough?

I guess, I would to ask if there is any possibility into bringing the limit number a bit higher? Like, at least 10? 15? I think that gives us all a better chance of giving our thoughts on important bits and pieces we read without being too overwhelming. Cuz, again, 5 works maybe if you only read some pages per day, but if you read an entire book in 1 or 2 days, you can't fully express your thoughts.

I don't know if anyone agrees with me. I would love to know everyone's opinion, though. And sorry for rambling so much lol. I just feel stuck, like do I stop reading until tomorrow, or do I read and just not share what I think on here?

Wait, I'm having a bit of a difficult time piecing together this timeline, I feel like I must've missed something. The sisters were young but still old enough to know how to fold flowers by the time Milkman was born, so I'm assuming somewhere between 5 and 10, so Milkman has a bit of an age gap compared to his sisters. But in this passage it said in relation to Macon,

He had not seen her since he was sixteen years old, until a year before the birth of his son, when she appeared in this city.

And even before that it said about Macon's sister,

[...] she seemed to be more interested in this first nephew of hers than she was in her own daughter, and even that daughter's daughter.

Am I missing something?? How old is everybody??

Daily question time...

What was your first read for Pagebound?

You can look at this one of two ways, either the first you recorded on Pagebound or the first you read for a badge.

Edit: I wanted to do something special for my first list. This post was it. So here's the list for those interested https://pagebound.co/lists/9d20eed1-9534-42f4-bfeb-a35bbed04adb

Edit: Problem resolved. Thanks all!!

Not sure if this question can be answered here or is more a question to submit elsewhere, but I saw that a new Sapphire badge was added for 30 (or more) read after I received the platinum earlier (the highest badge at the time I joined the quest , with already 32 read). I'm wondering if that gets updated on its own now that the Sapphire is available for 30 - or does something else have to happen??? I don't want to be a greedy badge gus, but that Sapphire badge is SO beautiful, I'd love to display it ❤😍😉 Thanks!
