“Pagebound is doing what the other book sites couldn't. The way it’s set up with forums, Quests, the front page—it's actually changing things when it comes to getting people to pick up new books and diverse books. I’ve seen so many little instances where I’ll leave a discussion post or review and then someone adds that book to their TBR. I’ve even personally bumped books up my TBR just because I saw people chatting about them or sharing reviews that caught my attention. The Quests have also helped me pick up books that I may have never picked up on my own.

I’ve been on Goodreads since 2012, jumped on StoryGraph when it launched, and I’ve tried apps like Tome and Fable too, but I’ve never really felt this kind of interaction before. With Pagebound though, the community vibe is so real, and it’s already proving it can influence what people read."
