  • When you imagine what's happening in a book, what are you actually seeing?

    I recently listened to this super fascinating episode of Radiolab on Aphantasia: http://www.wnycstudios.org/story/aphantasia/ Aphantasia is the inability to form mental images of objects that are not present, and people have a spectrum of abilities when it comes to this. So some people (me) can't really see a a clear image, while others see something hyper-realistic, full of detail, indistinguishable from the actual thing. I'm so curious what other people see when they picture an object/place/scene, and I thought the Sanderson forum would be a perfect place to ask since there's so much to visualize in his books...how clearly are you seeing what he describes? If you're curious about Aphantasia and you want to understand where you are on the spectrum, there are some good resources here: https://aphantasia.com/

  • Product & Dev Update 1/22/25

    Hi everyone! I'm back with another product update. We're working full force on the app (which I know many of you are excited about, including myself 😅) and have managed to squeeze out a few improvements to the site over the past few weeks: 1. You can *finally* edit reading dates and track rereads 🥳 we have always been tracking your start/end dates and rereads on the backend, but this feature allows you to see all that data and edit it. You can access and edit these dates by clicking the book status icon and clicking the "add or edit dates read" toggle. 2. You can now leave a written review without submitting a star rating 3. Some UI improvements to reviews (you always see your review first on the Book Page, clicking the stars on the book page does not edit your overall star rating, and some adjustments to the review card that makes reading long reviews easier) Thanks to all who wrote in with feedback, book dupes, and bugs! And a big thanks to everyone for making Pagebound so warm and welcoming - our community is growing and its been so great to see everyone connecting and supporting each other. Happy Reading, Team Pagebound 💜💙
