I only see 4 books to choose from but I notice there’s a badge that mentions 5. Will a 5th title be chosen later?

Apologies in advance if this has already been mentioned and answered somewhere.

I can only see 4 books for the Winter 2026 Readalong, but usually there are 5 books to choose from? Also, the second achievement is if you read all 5, so I felt like there was one book choice missing.

I don't think I'll ever achieve the 5 books achievement, but I noticed this and wanted to ask ❤️

Hi guys! I'm looking to buy a gift for somebody who reads a lot and I wanted to get them an eReader.

This person reads a lot for work, from meeting notes, to papers, to monthly summaries, so they need the ability to import work pdfs into the eReader easily.

They also need to have the Text-to-Speech function as they have really bad dyslexia.

We aren't keen on Amazon for obvious reasons, but if their kindle is somehow better than the rest in your opinion, I'd love to know why.

I was looking at the Pocketbook brand and they seem to cover what I need, but I want to hear from the reader community here.

I would love to hear your thoughts, gripes, preferences and all other juicy details! The reviews online on all eReader seem to be much of the same, so I have no idea what to choose!

Ty!! xx

I have probably a stupid question, but work has made my brain a non-fuctional mess so please bear with me. So I am currently rereading a book and I was wondering if there is a way to update progress on it and if I change the status from finished to reading will it affect the first read I've put in? I've seen I can add extra read dates but I want to experience posting my thoughts in the forum and track my progress real time like I do with my first reads. I don't know if I'm making any sense. I'm high on caffeine and English is not my first language and I cannot formulate coherent thoughts after my work shift. But yeah, if you can understand please let me know if it can be done somehow.

We have a new app release available on iOS and Android as of this afternoon! Please update your apps to see the following updates (also available on web):

Public Roadmap We get a huge amount of feedback every day, and see all of your chatter in the Pagebound Club about requests and enhancements. One of our core values is transparency, and in that spirit we have released a public Roadmap to show everyone what we’re working on, what we have planned, and what has been released. Everyone can view this roadmap in the footer on web, or in the “more” menu on the app.

Official Feature Requests On the Roadmap, you’ll see a link to Feature Requests. One benefit of joining Pagebound Royalty is that you can submit official feature requests, which we will mark as “approved” or “won't do,” each with an explanation. Once work has started on a request, it will move to the roadmap. Pagebound Royalty members also have the ability to comment and like both roadmap items and feature requests. We have pre-populated the roadmap with things we’re working on through the end of the year, and added our most popular requests to the Feature Request section. While we accept and read feedback from anyone, we do not have the bandwidth as a 2-person team to respond individually; the Roadmap will give everyone the ability to see what’s coming soon on Pagebound, give us a streamlined and efficient way to respond to requests, and the feedback form is still available at support.pagebound.co to anyone.

Giveaways We've been working behind the scenes to put together a Giveaway offering which will go live early 2026. This means anyone on Pagebound will be able to enter Giveaways for physical, audio, and ebooks :) Authors of Pagebound: If you or anyone you know is looking for marketing opportunities, we'd love work with you! Check out https://support.pagebound.co/giveaways to learn more; we'd love if you shared this with your author communities as well!

Other Improvements In addition to various bug fixes, we also added a quick-link when you create a Progress Update (% bar on your home page) to add a comment to update your followers! This is a great place to share personal updates, what you think of the book so far, and quick thoughts (ex. "loving this so far"). The book forums are still the place to start more in-depth discussions relevant to the broader community.

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙

I read that book because of all the hype around it… but I want to warn everyone better than what people have been saying : This is a trauma p*rn book.

You will only read pain, sadness, a lot of stuff that I can’t name without putting a trigger warning And on the top of all of that, you will never see happiness in that book, not even 1% .

That book is unnecessary to read and is just trauma over trauma on the top of trauma.

If something bad happens to you, you got trigger, is emotionally sensitive, or just a little attached to your happiness, do not read it

You will just end up depressed after each chapter

"People enraptured with the idea of a lawn as a rolling carpet of grass, a green that remains green even during seasons when grass is supposed to be dormant, can’t help but see these homely flowers as intruders. (...) Lawns are a waste of precious water and soil because non-native landscaping like turf grass and boxwoods and crepe myrtles and Yoshino cherry trees provide little habitat or food for native wildlife. Worse, a manicured lawn requires many different poisons to maintain. The wind that carries wildflower seeds to my uncultivated yard also carries wildflower seeds to my neighbors’ highly cultivated grass. It’s not easy to pull all those weeds, so homeowners—or their lawn services—set out poisons that keep the seeds from germinating. Then they spray a different poison that kills any plants that germinate anyway. Still another poison kills the insects that eat the “desirable” plants. Yet another kills the field mice trying to survive in a place without fields. (...)" _

I will bitch about lawns every chance I get. If you, by any chance, know all about how crappy lawns are for the environment and you still willingly choose to maintain one, then, if I may, fuck you and fuck your lawn. 🥰
