Hi! I was just now seeing other people accounts to follow and realised that most of the time I follow them because they have one of my favorite books in the My Taste part of their profile! Another thing is if I have over 10% of overlap. And now I am curious to know how do you decide who you follow! Do you just follow someone you interact with? Do you consider following people with less than a specific number of overlap??

P.S.: I'm loving your replies and yes I also do a lot of things you do!! 👀

Do you have any reading specific goals this week? 📖 📚

Examples: Finishing 3 chapters Cleaning up my Libby holds Going to my local bookstore Spending [insert time) reading

Hi folks, I'm a bit confused about page counts and hope you can advise. When I change a book status to reading, pb asks me for the page count - is there a way I can get it to use the default count? Unless I am reading the print copy and have it right in front of me at that exact moment, I don't know the page count so I just look up the default. Or, usually I am lazy and I just leave it blank. Secondly, is there a way I can update the page count once I've started reading? It seems that if I don't enter a specific page count, it doesn't count my pages read in my stats.

I'm mostly asking because I have encountered books on here I have never seen in the wild, library, bookshops, on blogs, on social media, etc. Books that are super niche or even unhinged (non-derogatory). I'll look at some niche lists and think "how did you even find those books?"

I would not have known that a Minion spice book existed if it wasn't for PB 😂

I just got back into reading more actively last year and before that I wasn't in much bookish spaces other than bookstores/libraries and IG reels. I had storygraph which I'd just review books but never had goodreads. I have found so many cool and interesting books here on PB, either through Quests, Lists, or people I follow. And I really think PB helped me become a more active reader. And also introduced me to so many genres I would've normally not have tried.

So I'm really curious on where you found books before PB, or where you still find books in addition to PB? And/or if PB has also helped you expand the amount of books you find.

Alright y'all, it's been a few days since stats were officially released on the app. I'm so curious to know how everyone has been using them! Which feature is your favorite? Were there any that you weren't expecting but were a pleasant surprise?

I personally love the read dates calendar---the colored bars are so creative and very pleasing to my brain!! It's useful stats but with that fun and joyful Pagebound flair that Lucy and Jennifer are so skilled at bringing!😆🫶
