This might be a weird take🫣, but the vibes are kinda tame GoT mixed heavily with Shrek.

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

Hello my fellow pageboundlings! To continue my series (yes, I’ve decided it’s a series now, albeit with only two parts) of list appreciation posts, I have created two more badges to honor lists that I have been lucky enough to find here 😌

Firstly, I made a badge for the Cooking is magic list by no one other than the fabulous @the_rags - even though the badge itself leans a bit more into the baking direction (you might see that I’ve read The wizard’s guide to defensive baking). Cooking as magic is such a cool idea and I hope to read more of that list in the future!🍪🍜🍳

And then I made one for Polter’s (@Polterbooks) Oath of pride list! It took me quite a while to figure out the design but I’m super happy with it. I just love me a good knight (or adjacent) and some yearning 🤭

Many people have great ideas for new quests that could be created but since there are just too many cool niche sub genres and creating quests takes a long while, I think list also deserve their spotlight - so if you’re missing out on a curated sub genre or theme quest, don’t be shy and dig through all the create lists - or, if you’re can’t find any, you can always do some research and create your own 🙂‍↕️🙌🏻💃

Here is the link where you can see all badges a bit more up close if you’d like!

And for everyone who can’t access Imgur, I also added the Badges to a google doc which you can access Here 🥰

I have a problem: I wanna be every guy.

I wanna be a movie guy, I wanna be a book guy, and a music guy, an art guy and a gardener guy and a gamer guy and a writer guy and how do you even balance all of it?

"This root can do a number of things but also kill a baby in its sleep" (paraphrased)

Way to impress someone Fitz, I gotta give it to you💀💀

I am so curious about this and I am dying to know how other people read? as in do you listen to music, do you read in complete silence, or do you do something else while you read?

For me personally it depends. Most of the time I will listen to rain sounds or brown noise playlists, sometimes I will also listen to music but it has to be certain songs that I don’t get distracted by. Songs that I can actually listen to are usually instrumental versions of my favorite songs, lately it’s been an instrumental version of the twilight soundtrack. On occasion I will also read in complete silence if sounds are overwhelming that day.

Guys I have marked a book as reading but when I go to my account it does not show the progress, It only shows on the discussion feed or my personal feed.
