We have a new app release available on iOS and Android as of this afternoon! Please update your apps to see the following updates (also available on web):

Public Roadmap We get a huge amount of feedback every day, and see all of your chatter in the Pagebound Club about requests and enhancements. One of our core values is transparency, and in that spirit we have released a public Roadmap to show everyone what we’re working on, what we have planned, and what has been released. Everyone can view this roadmap in the footer on web, or in the “more” menu on the app.

Official Feature Requests On the Roadmap, you’ll see a link to Feature Requests. One benefit of joining Pagebound Royalty is that you can submit official feature requests, which we will mark as “approved” or “won't do,” each with an explanation. Once work has started on a request, it will move to the roadmap. Pagebound Royalty members also have the ability to comment and like both roadmap items and feature requests. We have pre-populated the roadmap with things we’re working on through the end of the year, and added our most popular requests to the Feature Request section. While we accept and read feedback from anyone, we do not have the bandwidth as a 2-person team to respond individually; the Roadmap will give everyone the ability to see what’s coming soon on Pagebound, give us a streamlined and efficient way to respond to requests, and the feedback form is still available at support.pagebound.co to anyone.

Giveaways We've been working behind the scenes to put together a Giveaway offering which will go live early 2026. This means anyone on Pagebound will be able to enter Giveaways for physical, audio, and ebooks :) Authors of Pagebound: If you or anyone you know is looking for marketing opportunities, we'd love work with you! Check out https://support.pagebound.co/giveaways to learn more; we'd love if you shared this with your author communities as well!

Other Improvements In addition to various bug fixes, we also added a quick-link when you create a Progress Update (% bar on your home page) to add a comment to update your followers! This is a great place to share personal updates, what you think of the book so far, and quick thoughts (ex. "loving this so far"). The book forums are still the place to start more in-depth discussions relevant to the broader community.

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙

I was surprised to not see either of those authors on here. Infinite Jest is on my list(I've read some of Wallace's shorter works), and I enjoyed at least three of Chabon's books (Wonder Boys, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and The Yiddish Policeman's Union). I also read Gentlemen of the Road, but don't remember that so well.

He’s my personal go-to author for space operas. Becky Chambers also comes to mind, and I saw Cixin Liu and would second that recommendation
