Since we're all divesting from our billionaire overlords... what a great time to switch from Goodreads to indie-owned (+ much cuter, cooler, social) Pagebound?

Hi #booksky 👋 we're Pagebound, a new social reading site (think: if Goodreads and Reddit had a baby). Come read with us !

we ignored all the rules of social media to build our social reading tracker:

- no timestamps on posts/comments—discussions about books are timeless
- no algo, so clout and drama don't win by default
- no AI; we're 100% human

New feature 🎉 Track your reading progress (app update required): you can now track page or % read without making a post to the book forum. Your progress is saved for stats (coming soon!) & gets sent to your followers. Add a comment to the progress update from your profile!

I am OBSESSED with the @pagebound.bsky.social Club and each little books forum space. I love love love a book community. 😭❤️‍🔥

Text from a Pagbound Club forum about reading comprehension and self imposed book reports.

Text reads:
I like this idea!! I've started doing something like this (not for every book,and just sometimes, but I like doing it, I feel like it helps me connect to the story more!) Some ideas I had for questions to ask yourself:
Before reading:
• What do I already know about the story, author, or world?
• What am I hoping to get out of this book?
• What do I expect the main conflict or theme to be?
During reading:
• What surprises me or stands out?
• What are the characters really feeling or thinking?
• Are there connections to earlier parts of the story or to other books I've read?
• What passages make me pause or think more deeply?
After reading:
• What themes or messages stood out to me?
• What did I enjoy or not enjoy, and why?
• How did the characters change or grow?
• What would I recommend to others based on this book?
• What might I read next inspired by this book?

Since we are a new app, the search is still indexing us so check out link in bio if you can’t find us. If you’re seeing that we aren’t avail in your country, it’s because of additional regulations that we aren’t able to support in our first release but hope to add soon!

We’ve submitted for app store approvals! And we’ve rolled out our rebrand to web!

Since our app & website design are sisters, not twins, this new logo ties both together. Shout out to illustrator Mariam Chagelishvili for bringing our new 3D PB icon to life ❤️

this book has plot. the plot is “they make terrible choices and then kiss about it.”
