Meet Pagebound

A free social reading site that's like if Goodreads and Reddit had a baby. On Pagebound, every book has it's own forum. Whatever book you’re reading, post your thoughts, theories, ideas, and reactions to that book’s forum. Sort posts by % read to read along with people from all over the world. Anyone with that book in their library will see and can interact with your post, so it’s really easy to make new reader friends.

Quests

Quests are curated reading challenges that earn you badges. Created by Top Contributors and partners around a subgenre, niche, or universe, every Quest has its own forum. They are

  • a fun way to achieve a goal, become better read in a particular niche, and discover new books;

  • an opportunity to earn badges that reflect your reading taste and display them on your profile;

  • a great place to find community—see everyone who joined the Quest, and start genre-specific conversations.


There are 2 types of Quests: Main Quests and Side Quests

  1. Main Quests have 30+ books and 3 tiers of badges: bronze, silver, gold. These are updated with new releases over time.

  2. Side Quests have 10-15 books with 1 badge that participants earn at 5 books read and another at 100% read.

Book forums & Readalongs

You can have a readalong anytime with the book you're reading by going to that book's forum on Pagebound.


We also host community-wide Seasonal Readalongs and Special Events. We highlight 5 books where readers can earn a badge for finishing and posting/commenting in the forum during the readalong.
