Already on the first page, i am sucked into it!! Very interesting :) im wondering if i need to search these characters up beforehand?? Or is it enough just to read this book as it is? I am not familiar with greek mythology 🙈 what are your thoughts?

Are you able to read more than one book at a time? I know more readers who can than can't. I can't; my memory is awful, so I tend to get character names and locations mixed up. Audio books are difficult because my mind wanders; otherwise, I think I would try listening to one and reading the other.

The problem is, this keeps the books I've read over 600 pages, far and few between. I could read so much more if I could read more than one book at a time! Anyone have any tips and tricks for reading two or more books at once?

The Winter Readalong picks are here! To see the selections (and the badge!) on web, head to the Discuss tab and click “View Winter Picks” by the Fall 2025 Readalong header. On the app, go to the Seasonal Readalong screen from the More menu (sorry app users, you’ll have to go to web to see the badge preview; I’ll add the badge in the next app update!) The Winter readalong starts December 1st and runs through the end of February. Recommend checking wait times at your library and planning ahead! (note: we are only doing 4 books instead of 5 starting this winter to make room for Special Events)

For our new users: Each season, Top Contributors vote on a selection of books to read as a community. You earn a special badge for reading one of the books and commenting or posting in the forum during the readalong.

Additional exciting updates! (NOTE: these are currently on web only, they will be available on the app with the next app release!)

MUTING BOOKS! yes yes yes you can now mute a book. When you mute a book, it removes all posts from that book’s forum from you Main feed, My Books feed, All Books feed, and Following feed. If someone you follow comments on a post, or posts in the forum, of a muted book you will not see it. You will however still see “reading status updates” from followers who engage with muted book. You can mute a book from the “...” menu on a post, or from the Book Status modal. To unmute a book, go to the Settings page (gear icon on your profile) and click “Manage Muted Books”

You can now mark a book as “owned” and filter your library shelves by "owned" books! While it works perfectly well to have a custom “owned” shelf, a separate toggle was highly requested (mini tip: you can add books to custom shelves right from the book status modal - you do not need to search for & add them from the shelf page).

Feed updates: we removed TBR books from your My Books feed and Main Feed entirely. We know how sensitive spoilers can be, and folks have different definitions of what constitutes a spoiler, so this is the safest option. We will have a way to customize this in the future if you prefer to see them. We also removed any activity related to the Pagebound Club from your main and following feeds. The club still exists as it always has for those that enjoy engaging, but for those that would rather opt-out, you won’t be forced to see PB club content in your feed. You will still have activity items on your profile from any Pagebound Club activity; it just will not be pushed to your followers.

For our app users: if you’d like to mute books now before the update is released, just log in on web, mute the books, and both your web and app feeds will be updated. You can do the same for “owned” books, however the filter won’t appear until the next update.

Thanks everyone and happy reading! Jennifer & Lucy

Hii! So I just found book stamps (like exlibris and so) in my native tongue!! 🥳 It’s generally so hard because most of them are in English, and I couldn’t find any in Catalan (the other option was to try and make them myself, which is a big no), so today when I saw them I had to get at least one of them, and it’s sooo cute, with books and flowers 📖💐

I’m just so happy I had to share it somewhere and what a better place than this?? ☺️

I'm not crying, you are crying (I'm not saying if it's because I'm happy or sad, go and read the book yourself) and now someone hug me and give me some fanfictions thank you 🥺

Quick announcement of some smaller updates -

We have new avatars for levels 3 and 4. Level 3 has two new dragons to choose from, and level 4 has three food-inspired avatars 🥐🌶️🍚

We also have two new feeds on your homepage. You'll see your Main Feed (the normal feed you're used to), a Following feed (just activity from people you follow) and My Books (the feed that is currently on Discuss, this is just posts from books in your library). Many people have been asking for a following feed :)

In your Main feed and My Books feed, you will no longer see posts from TBR books that are marked as spoilers.

We're aware of an intermittent bug on the app when posting in the book forum (from the book page specifically). The feed updates + a bug fix for this is out on iOS, please update your app to see these changes. On Android, we're still awaiting app approval - in the meantime there is a workaround : use the currently reading card on your home feed, which has a "Post to Forum" button, to post rather than going to the book page.

Hi everyone - excited to announce that Pagebound finally has merch! You can view the selection at https://store.pagebound.co/

We know this has been highly requested, and we wanted to get out a first release in time for the holidays, so what we have now is a limited run of a few items. We do have plans in the future for an expanded store with more product types (stickers of avatars & badges, mugs, etc) and more t-shirt / sweatshirt / hat designs. Let us know your other requests in the comments 😊

This was very fun to create, and we can’t wait to see everyone repping Pagebound--it’s about to be my daily uniform 🙂‍↕️
