I love how indie-centric and diverse the reading tastes are on @pagebound.bsky.social! I'm 'oooing' while scrolling down the page. 💜

how it feels scrolling Pagebound’s book forums instead of TikTok #booksky

After leaving Goodreads for Storygraph & then being disappointed when Storygraph began using generative AI, I've searched for a replacement. Enter #Pagebound - an app owned, created & self funded by two women who are staunchly anti-AI. Feel free to add me - @amarisskye - & let's chat about books!

Amazon owns Goodreads, so yes your choice in reading tracker is political. Choose Pagebound instead, we’re 🌱 indie & self-funded 🧃 anti-AI & ad-free 🧙‍♀️ built by 2 women #booksky

Our first year of being your favorite book app comes to a close… #booksky

Happy Holidays! So wonderful seeing some of the faces & furry friends behind the avatars on Pagebound. Together, we’ve created this warm, whimsical bookish haven on the internet 💕

You have 2 options: ○ use Kindle's new AI-powered "Ask this book" tool when you're confused on ch 10 ○ post "question from ch 10" on Pagebound where every book has its own forum, and other humans are waiting to share their thoughts & discuss with you (there is a right answer)

Stop the slop! Pagebound is like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby, but indie, anti-AI, and built by 2 women. No AI features on Pagebound ever, no algos even—just kind humans discussing good books & you can feel the difference

when Pagebound is your whole personality so the winter readalong books make an appearance at cookie decorating A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking & The Serviceberry

A new way to support Pagebound & spread community love: you can now gift a Royalty membership to a user for 3, 6, or 12 months (or send support.pagebound.co/gift to loved ones asking for holiday gift ideas)! A huge thank you to all our Royalty members who make our work possible 💐

TikTok: “you have 2 seconds to hook me” Bluesky: “you have 300 characters” Pagebound: “just talk about books and throw away this hook nonsense, and I’m there” #booksky

This #smallbusinesssaturday, switch from Amazon-owned Goodreads to an indie, anti-AI, female-founded alternative! Pagebound! We’re like if Goodreads & Reddit had a baby 💕 #booksky

On Black Friday weekend, you CAN in fact: - Buy nothing - Donate to charity - Support your favorite indie businesses so they can continue to exist 💕 If that's Pagebound 🥹 you can make a one-time contribution or a $10/month commitment by clicking the crown icon in the Pagebound app/web nav bar 💐

We've recommended a lot of holiday romances over the year. You can find 70 of our favs in this @pagebound.bsky.social list. pagebound.co/lists/79c14d...

Since I keep talking about @pagebound.bsky.social on here I sat down this morning to highlight what I think is special about the site. Spoiler: it's mostly just a really lovely community of book lovers 🙂‍↕️

what we mean when we say Pagebound is anti-AI

Benefits of supporting indie? The 2 humans building your favorite book app are accessible & listen! We just released a public Roadmap to provide transparency on what we’re building next & why (pstpstpst yearly wrap up incoming!) #booksky

How to always have an answer for “what did you think of that book?” #booksky Pagebound keeps track of your Book Journey: from when you started reading to all of the posts & comments you made in the book forum, your progress updates, and your review.

Well hello @pagebound.bsky.social I just joined your lovely community✨️ I love how the app has an old forum feel and that it focuses more on community discussion and critical thinking than passive tracking and achievement hoarding! I'll obsess over this over winter❄️ #pagebound #booksky

You can now mute books in your home feed! There’s also a new “owned” toggle, “interested” reading status for those with overwhelming TBRs, and a section on Discuss to view book status updates from your followers! update your app to see these new features 😉

hii we’re the women behind this upstart book app taking on Goodreads (owned by Amazon, bleh) & yes you know we’re indie and humans because we literally turned our pets into avatars you can choose when you create your pagebound profile 😂

we ignored all the rules of social media to build our social reading tracker: - no timestamps on posts/comments—discussions about books are timeless - no algo, so clout and drama don't win by default - no AI; we're 100% human #booksky

New feature 🎉 Track your reading progress (app update required): you can now track page or % read without making a post to the book forum. Your progress is saved for stats (coming soon!) & gets sent to your followers. Add a comment to the progress update from your profile!

I’m loving the @pagebound.bsky.social app!! 😭🫶🏼✨ It’s so beautiful and the forums are so fun! Anyone else use Pagebound? Let’s be friends! 🥹 #BookSky #Pagebound

I am OBSESSED with the @pagebound.bsky.social Club and each little books forum space. I love love love a book community. 😭❤️‍🔥
