I was looking at the road map since I'm newer to this app, and when I was looking at the "released" updates, I noticed that I don't have some of those features (like dark mode, text size adjustment, and some others). The app is up to date, so I'm not sure why. Is it because I have an android?

Also, is there a way to get notifications?? I didn't see any settings for it in the app, and when I go to app notification settings in my phone, there isn't even an option for Pagebound. Is there supposed to be??

Sorry, again, newer here and just trying to figure it all out since this has quickly become my favorite pastime.

Thanks! 💘

A question I’m really curious about the potential answers and discussion: Do you guys get your own copy of a book you’ve already read, but is now translated into your language? Whether it be for accessibility reasons, collecting or something similar? For example I love to get my own copy of queer literature books if they’re translated into my language, in hopes of making the publishers and translation teams know that there’s an active demand for them. (This might easily go into an idealistic territory, though.)

i’m sure some of the other writers here submit to or have had work published in literary magazines. as wonderful as it is to get published, it sometimes leaves you wondering how many non-writers are engaging with these short prose/poetry published in litmags. so: do you, or have you read literary magazines? if so, do you have a list that you tend to follow?

hello fellow book 🐌

I participated and finished the spring readalong, but ended up being miserable about it. I checked out my book of choice a month early knowing how slow I am. Idk if it's because of the PB readalong or if the book I chose suddenly got popular for a different reason, but a waitlist formed behind me almost immediately. Knowing the hold line was so long that I wouldn't be able to renew in time to get the badge, I rushed through my book, pushing myself to my limit to finish the day the book was due. It made the book a little less fun and kinda turned me off the readalongs.

Now for the cherry blossom one, i actually am waiting in a hold line, not sure if I'll get the book in time, especially given how long it takes me to get through a book (i usually have to renew a book 2 or 3x to finish). I've basically given up on the badge and will just read it for myself.

but I thought maybe some other 🐌 do these readalongs and have some tips! So if you do participate in the seasonal readalongs/any readalongs with a time limit, how do you manage your time and balance your slow pace with library due dates and reading pressure? Or do you skip these events altogether? do you ever get sad that you miss out on badges?

Or what's the average number, either way! As a mood reader, I always take way too many books with me because I never know which one I'll want to read when the time comes!

I'm traveling to see family for a few days (3 days plus 1 day on each side for travel) and I've packed:

• 3 paper books (2 for work)
• Just added 11 ARCs to my Kobo (in addition to the 3 I still need to read and the countless other books I own on there)
• And I just downloaded 3 audiobooks

Will I get through one of these? Maybe lol. But a reader's gotta have options! I used to be more reasonable about packing books, especially since ARCs expire and physical books are heavy, but as I get closer to burnout and making decisions gets harder, I end up with way too many. What's your absurd book packing habit?
