So impressed by the incredibly creative Lists readers create on Pagebound

Curating book likes like og Spotify playlists

List called Snake Oil with books about wellness, social media, beauty industries

List called cottageGore with books about horror set in cottages/nature

List called every body is a body of water with books about migration, race, capitalism, transatlantic slavery

The most underrated new-ish social app out there is @pagebound.bsky.social. Like Goodreads, but it feels actually...social. And people are kind! No bot problems either, as far as I know. (Nobody asked me to post this. I just think more people should know about it!)

I just switched (exporting data from g_r_ and importing into @pagebound.bsky.social was really easy) & I feel SO much better! If you've already done it yourself, let me know who you are so I can follow you! If you haven't, do it now, and then let me know so I can follow you! 📚📚 📚

Emoji search is now in the app! A fun way to browse books, Lists, and Quests by mood or theme…which emoji do you think has the best book results? #booksky

Dead rose emoji—bury our bones in the midnight soil, a touch of darkness, Rebecca, belladonna, my dark Vanessa, these violent delights

School emoji - perks of being a wallflower, ninth house, one of us is lying, never let me go, zodiac academy, a deadly education

Twins emoji - my sister the serial killer, the vanishing half, kingdom of the cursed, the lost sisters, sisterhood of the traveling pants, the girls

"It's not easy to divest from Amazon." You're right—& that's how they want it to feel! Any move away is powerful. "Books are cheaper there." Also true! But your dollars go further when you shop indie. (Or check out your library!)

anyone else nostalgic for when we used to discuss books, not post content about them? #booksky

Let’s bring back book discussions

the algo wants pretty pictures, but I want to DISCUSS and deepen my enjoyment & understanding of what I read

As a former English major, I loved how classroom discussion could transform my reading experience.

My peers would notice different elements of the text, ask surprising questions, and all this brought new texture and layers to my own experience with a book.

Now, no one assigns me and 30 others the same reading...

but I know that all over the world, thousands of others are reading the same book as me.

What if we could connect everyone?

On Pagebound, every book has its own forum focused on long-form discussions

Posts & comments don’t have timestamps. Books are timeless, and the convos we have about them should be too!

Make friends based on the thoughts you share, not what you look like or your follower count

I'm loving @pagebound.bsky.social's new wrap-up, especially all the colour options. For my biggest reading day in May I paired the most intense novel with the silliest - highly recommend! Every time I open this anti-AI app I feel a burst of happiness. Now to explore the social features more

one of the reasons people say Pagebound feels so nostalgic… 💙📚

We miss online communities before algos and AI

You can’t build inclusive communities when algos exist

That’s why the default content you see on social media is what’s already popular/trending

We don’t have algorithms on Pagebound so the default is diverse

Kristen Argyres || MY THORNS FOR YOUR ROSES @kargyres.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

My Thorns For Your Roses’ first @pagebound.bsky.social giveaway starts today! This physical ARC giveaway is exclusive to US readers, but an e-book global giveaway will start later this month. #2026debuts #romantasy #faerietale #retelling #indiebook #readingsky #booksky #ARC #giveaway #tamlin

Two people are facing one another. On the left is Tamlin, who is tall with long, wavy brown hair with primroses in it. The faerie wears a plaid in various shades of green with leafy embellishments. Tamlin’s smiling down at the woman, gently holding her chin with his thumb.

Lark, the woman on the right, has long, tawny hair tied halfway back with a thin ribbon, a white rose behind her left ear. She wears a long sleeved dress in a sandy color and holds a basket full of flower in the crook of her arm. Lark is looking up at Tamlin.

The two are surrounded by rose bushes in pastel colors.

The image is framed in black with an intricate bronze border. In the foreground there is the title in white letters with purple borders: “My Thorns For Your Roses” with the author’s name “Kristen Argyres” below.

In small text above the woman, next to the man’s head are the words “The Cairnwood Reel Series.”

The book cover is flanked on either side by decorative a rose pattern to fill out the space.
