Pagebound

girl dinner? no. girl bookshelf. #booksky

don’t ask me what the book's about. it’s about me, actually.

reading a book is cheaper than therapy until you spiral and buy five more

books are:
📖 escape
🎧 medicine
💃🏽 a way out
🚪 a way in
🧠 the only reason we survived middle school

welcome to Pagebound: a place for people who read to escape, to feel, and to remember they’re not alone.

for ratings that speak for themselves, Pagebound has subcategories, half-stars, and emojis for the vibes

if the book makes me cry, i’m giving it a hug. and five stars. and therapy. #booksky

started reading to escape reality. now i have beef with fictional people. #booksky

i read reviews like they’re gossip about people i know. #booksky

every reader has that one book they won’t shut up about. hi. i’m every reader. #booksky

book forum where you can post thoughts from x%

thank god for Pagebound where i can live tweet my thoughts while reading (aka post to the book's reddit style forum and sort posts by % read)

my toxic trait is believing I’ll remember every thought I had while reading without writing it down #booksky

logging in to pagebound just to say “i’m not okay after chapter 17.” #booksky

every book i love is either a haunted house or a love letter in disguise. #booksky

i don’t read books. i enter long-term parasocial relationships with fictional strangers. #booksky

& now you can literally join reading quests & earn badges on Pagebound

books aren’t just escapism. they’re an emotional side quest. #booksky

Things I’ve done after finishing a good book

- sat in the dark like a Victorian widow
- googled “do these characters end up together in the sequel”
- started writing fanfic then realized I have zero plot
- bought three more books I won’t read

A rounded box showing the stats of a discworld reading group on pagebound. It has 247 members. It uses an elephant, world and turtle emoji in the title and 3 round medals with A'Tuin the world turtle to indicate reading progress.

Giving @pagebound.bsky.social a try. Immediately finding the other Discworld people is a great start.

I have started a @pagebound.bsky.social account in hopes of getting back into reading! I've been in a slump of late and am hoping that this is what will help

i'm obsessed with tracking my reading and between @pagebound.bsky.social and @thestorygraph.com i feel i'm in good hands

Welcome to the community! 💕

Now seems like a good time to talk about why we’re an anti-AI Goodreads alternative. We can’t generate you a horoscope-like yearly reading wrap-up, but we do have values & exist to help the book community thrive #booksky

Hi! Yes sorry about this! We had many new users join today so our site was a bit overwhelmed at times 😅 thanks for trying again!

We’ve been trained to assume new = relevant, when that’s not the case (obvious when you look at media news cycles, but less obvious when you consider the psychology behind timestamps in social media content feeds).

Here’s what happens when you flip that thinking on its head:

#booksky #socialmedia

#booksky #reddit wild to take product inspiration from a male-coded social media site, make it only about books, and suddenly, all your users are women 🤷‍♀️ 😉

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

Not right now. We use Google for the sake of password management because we are a small team (2 people and only 1 engineer). But there will be more ways to create an account with the mobile app coming this summer :)

Yes! We use Google for the sake of password management for now because we are a small team (2 people and only 1 engineer). But there will be more ways to create an account with the mobile app coming this summer :)

A collection of the best bios I’ve seen when people create their profile…

Do these seem like your kind of people? Make reader friends on Pagebound—we’re like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby. #booksky 💙📚

Just my delulu thinking I can support myself & work on something I’m passionate about! 😅
