This might be a hard one but... Does anyone have any recommendations for books that feel like the Midwinter Summer Soirée at Aunt Josephine's house in the Netflix series "Anne with an E"? (Yes, I know that's quite specific 😅)

I love the series, and I know it doesn't really stick to the books, but I think it's still a beautiful series in and of itself! But I especially love the episode with the party, with all the flower decorations, the room full of artists, creatives, kindred spirits, and people who see the beauty of the world and how "life has so many colours"!

Maybe something whimsical, with beautiful prose, or something that involves artists/writers/creatives at a party, but not obnoxious... I just love the vibe of that episode!

Anything come to mind? Thank you!!

I am over the moon to share that the app is officially live on both iOS and Android!!

We've quite literally poured our blood, sweat and (lots of) tears into the app development over the past 9 months and we could not be more thrilled for everyone to experience it!

We're still being indexed in app store search so you may have to scroll to find us, or type in Pagebound: Social Book Tracker. Here's links to iOS and Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pagebound-social-book-tracker/id6751526412 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.pagebound.app

There are quite a few improvements and new features in the app, including:

• Book Journeys (click the map icon on the book cards in your library and other user's library to see their posts, comments, and updates for a specific book)
• Quick access to "add to plan"
• Filtering your activity on profile
• Save posts
• upgraded Read Dates editing

This is the first release, so there will be many more additions and improvements to come. (PS for Android users: we're aware of two bugs related to library imports from Goodreads/Storygraph, and issues with editing read dates - these have already been resolved and are pending Google approval for release.)

We owe a huge thank you to our beta testers who worked diligently over the last month to report hundreds of bugs and help us get the app prepared for release. A huge round of applause to them.

We hope you love the app as much as we do; it definitely makes engaging on PB so much more convenient and fun. If you have a great experience with the app, we'd love if you'd consider supporting us through Pagebound Royalty; Lucy and I have worked for $0 over the past year to bring the app and website to fruition, and have been covering business costs with our savings accounts. Your contribution means we can continue to work full-time on Pagebound without influence from investors or advertisers, and keep Pagebound 100% for readers by readers. Thank you so much to all the Royalty who have already contributed; it truly means the world to us and keeps Pagebound online!

ok now go download the app and tell us what you think!

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

PS - leaving us a review in app stores also helps tremendously :)

Hey y'all! My name is Zana (they/them) and I'm from Portland, OR. I'm an avid reader that's focusing on expanding my genre list to become disgustingly literate. I tend to lean towards lesbian and trans representation in my books and am always looking for more! Plz plz plz put your recs below.

I'm so happy to be here and can't wait to transfer my carefully curated lists from Fable to this beautiful app.

I want to beef up my fall reading list and am curious what stories everyone is visiting in autumn 🤎 Looking for spooky / fall cottage / witchy vibes 💫🍂 Mine is A Far Wilder Magic, I read it every year! 🥰

I... Somebody help. Until just now, I was CERTAIN that Frances was a dog!!! 😂🙈🤣
