I don't know if it's the German translation but there are some ... interesting word choices 😭

Hi everyone, we've just released a big app update with many quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and some new features. These are all available on web as well. Please make sure your apps are updated to the latest version, 1.1.1, to see these changes! As a reminder, you can check out what we're working on and what's coming up next via the public roadmap (in the footer on web, in the more menu on the app)

Here's a list of updates:

• New Main Quest badge tiers, now viewable on the app
• ability to pin comments to your own posts, lists, and activity
• improved search on app: UI enhancements to make searching for things that are not books easier, removed the auto-populated most searched books from the search widget
• ability to track your progress in Time for audiobooks (HH:MM)
• progress bar / breakdown by status added to Plan
• estimated page count added to book page
• you can enlarge a book cover on the book screen by tapping the book cover
• rereading button (when you go to track a reread, the button says re-reading instead of reading)
• sort reviews by star rating
• filter options on Book Journey
• new search, filter, and sort options on Browse All Lists and Browse All Quests screens
• see more info about your followers and users you follow in the following/followers modals
• changed the button on the home feed "currently reading" books from "post in forum" to "go to forum" for easier access to the forum + encouraging folks to check existing posts!

We're working on monthly wrapups, reading streaks, and some prep for more stats next! We will also be making some additional enhancements to Quests (like: a book recommendations section similar to the Community Recs on book pages, stats for how many users earned each badge tier, and a feed tab like the new feed tab on book pages)

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer + Lucy

Hi friends! 😊

My preteen niece has been noticing my sister (her mom) and I reading romance, and now she wants in! We’re hoping to do some family buddy-reading of age-appropriate romances.. sweet, fun, and safe for her age.

Any recs for clean romances perfect for preteens? Thanks!! 💖📚

I am home sick today, so figured I'd think of a fun question to keep me entertained!

If you could have any fictional job, what would it be?

For me, I think I would be some sort of herbologist. Either a teacher or someone who runs a store! You can take me out of the real world but you cannot take me away from plants haha!

How do you deal with reading when you are away from home? Holidays, house sitting or just general travelling.

Do you fill up your ereader? Take plenty of books? Or does it just depend on where you are going?

What’s a book you would recommend for someone who’s trying to get into reading within that genre? I honestly want to switch between genres depending on my mood, but I also wanted to incorporate 1/2 nonfiction books every month.

With the current news - and my current read - I have, once again, lost my faith in humanity a bit. While I know both good and bad exist and the line is often blurry and that we need to confront the terribly things in order to change them, I need a pick-me-up. I need to be reminded that hope and good people still exist. I need to be hugged by a book. I think maybe some of y'all feel the same way right now. So we can get up and be better people for a better world.

I do love fantasy (cozy and not-cozy alike), queer books and non-fiction, and I know quite a few books already (I even have a list about hopeful reads and one about community). But I need something new, something that reminds me that there is light and love and kindness.

So, please, hit me with your most hopeful, warm books that feel like a cup of hot chocolate sprinkled with love and courage.
