We know many of you, like us, see reading as more than a hobby. It’s a huge part of your identity, and you want to obsess over and discover books with other readers. Like us, you've felt the angst of a novel ending on a cliffhanger with the next volume still to be released. You’ve cried at character arcs and jumped at the chance to talk about your current read. You’ve wondered, did anyone else reading this notice what I just did? Does anyone else feel the same way I do?
We built Pagebound for you.
On Pagebound, every book has its own forum, and you post your thoughts from x% as you read. We intentionally don't put timestamps on posts and comments to encourage evergreen discussion. Anyone with that book in their library will see your post and can interact—whether you're reading Pride and Prejudice now or six months ago, we're connecting readers all over the world together. Books are timeless, and we think the conversations we have about them should be too!
