I’m on a search to find the highest rated book on PB. So far, I’ve found Sunrise on the Reaping at 4.55 stars and 11289 ratings. Close seconds are Six of Crows at 4.52 stars and 11765 ratings and Harry Potter Goblet of Fire with 4.5 stars and 12676 ratings - which is surprising given there are so many 1 star reviews of that book. Have you found any books with a higher rating? Or will Sunrise on the Reaping be crowned queen

So other than Pagebound, which has become my favorite reading app btw, how do you all track your reading? And what specifically do you track?

I have the Bookly Pro app which I specifically use to track the time I am reading. I wanted to read for at least an hour a day. I like that it has stats and stuff but honestly the timer is what I use it for the most. I have read consistently for 1007 days using that app and I absolutely love it.

I used to have Shelfari eons ago which then migrated into Goodreads. But i don’t engage with other people on Goodreads. Honestly Pagebound has provided me the community aspect that I was missing with a lot of the other apps I used.

I also have a spreadsheet where I keep track of alllllllll the books I have ever read, dating back to childhood. And it tracks things like genre, page number, hours listened, physical/digital/audiobook etc.

So yea. I’m just curious what other apps or means you all use for your reading journeys.

A general question, but where do you all get your recommendations from for books? Every so often I surf a particular sea and look at new releases and like anything that I think sounds interesting or good, I install download it on my kindle or I’ll look through Pinterest for recommendations. But I’m curious as to how everyone finds books to read so please let me know so we can all maybe find recommendations. Any unconventional or unusual ways. Bookshop wandering. I want to hear about everything! ✨

I mean the hobby/interest you spend most of your free time on that's not book-related.

I'm a boardgames girlie personally! Love a social deduction game, and Blood on the Clocktower could easily rival reading for taking up most of my leisure time in any given week. What about you folks?!

My husband and I are the classic "gamer boy, reader girl" pairing, but he's started reading a chapter or two with me before bed. Mr. Birch about to finish his current read and doesn't know what to pick up next. (I read mysteries and romances, so I'm no help whatsoever... as you'll see from the lists below.) What would you recommend? He plays action and massive multiplay online RPGs too. Thank you so much!

Books he's read and enjoyed (last three suggested by me, yay!): Dune by Frank Herbert Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey Harry Potter series by You Know Who Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

Books he disliked and/or DNFed (all three suggested by me, ouch!): The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

P.S. It's late here in Europe, so I won't be able to respond to comments until tomorrow morning.
