Any Friends fans out there will know what I mean when I say I put books in the freezer but unlike Joey I put them in the freezer before I even start them!!! 🥶🧊

(For my non-Friends people this means stopping or pausing a book for a while when it gets to a part that spikes your anxiety or sadness for whatever reason.)

I have at least 2 books that I have wanted to read for a WHILE but I can’t get myself to start them. I’ve only heard good things about them, I’ve had multiple people tell me I will like them and yet still have not read 1 page of them!! I don’t understand why I’m like this because I’m pretty sure I’m going to like them if not love them! Anyone else like this? Driving themselves crazy one book at a time? 😬🤦🏻‍♀️

Also out of general curiosity who’s your favorite Friends characters?

for whatever reason, I decided to import my goodreads library. now my tbr has 1600+ books😭😭😭 I guess I was a little less discerning about what I put on it before PB. and now a lot of dates and such are messed up, idk if it was worth it.

How do you decide what goes on your tbr??

We have a very very exciting announcement: stats are live on the Pagebound app on iOS and Android! (web coming soon). Please make sure you're on the latest version of the app :)

This has been a long time coming as we've released smaller features to gather reading data: format tracking, page/minute totals, daily reading updates, and streaks. Now, you can see that data visualized on the Stats tab of your profile!

The top section shows your Monthly Stats, and the bottom section shows your Annual Stats. Next month, you will also see your Monthly & Yearly wrap-ups on this tab.

Royalty members have enhanced stats and extra graphs. If you're not Royalty and are curious to see the extra stats, head to a Royalty member's profile to check it out :)

This is just the beginning; we will be adding onto and improving stats, especially as we gather series and genre data. I am so thrilled to share this V1 with everyone now!

If you find your stats do not look correct, make sure all your data is filled in correctly:

• You can edit your daily pages read & minutes listened by clicking the streak widget on your home page to access Reading History.
• Edit format, total pages, and total minutes by clicking your Read Dates. On the last screen of the "edit read dates" flow, you can add/edit that info.

As a little bonus on the Reading History screen, you also see the pages read or minutes listened each day per book.

We hope you all enjoy this new facet of Pagebound! A big thank you to everyone for making this such a special community, and a special thank you to our Royalty members for making Pagebound possible with your support.

We'll be back tomorrow with some Readalong and Quest announcements!

Happy Reading, Jennifer + Lucy
