The other day I was talking to someone about mixing book genres, and the thought of comedy+terror appeared. Do you have any weird ideas of mixing topics and recommendations? I'm talking truly out-of-the-box experiences 👀

"And would that make your life any happier if he did? Would it make your chores shorter and lighter?"

I don't mean to be rude but yeah, I think it probably kinda will 👁️👄👁️ It'd definitely make /me/ happier.

found the audiobook (Spanish) in my library app, and I've been listening to this story every spare moment I have, I'm rather interested or at least it's keeping me engaged... BUT, I find the writing quite... Dull? Simple? Basic? I don't think it's just a translation thing, and thought it feels all rather simplistic, I'm still enjoying the story so far. (Now I question myself if Mexican Gothic had this style and I've just forgotten)

I am absolutely loving the current quests and I must say they are definitely fattening up my tbr! My question is… do we have any ideas/ hints as to what some future quests are? What are some quests you’d like to see? Particular books you’d want to see in future quests? <3

Another quality of life update! You can now select which edition of a book you are reading, which will update the book info in your library. This is most relevant for changing which book cover shows up in your library, or changing the language edition. We get asked all the time about changing book covers, so I'm happy to report this is finally an option! The edition page will also show you additional data like publisher and page count.

This does require an app update if you are on the iOS/Android app.

We've been working with a few volunteer librarians to combine language editions on Pagebound and are making steady progress "deduping" popular authors. This is a necessary process to make sure we have one forum per book, and also ensures if you read a book in say Spanish, the English version is also marked "finished" and you get credit towards any Quests, Readalongs etc. Deduping will also make Search and navigating the author pages easier.

To change the language/edition of a book, click "View All Languages & Editions" on the book page (next to publish year above the book description). You'll see a list of all available editions, and can swap from that page. Your chosen edition will reflect in your Library.

Combining language editions is a monumental task, so we appreciate your patience as me, Lucy, and our volunteers work through it all!

Another fun update: we brought the "Featured Emoji" to the Discover Lists page!

We're still working on home feed updates and will be back soon with more updates :)

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

PS: if you're curious how deduping works: When language editions are combined, it just means that there is one Book/forum per listing, but the "deduped" editions are still available on the editions page. All reviews and forum posts that were on the deduped book will now show up on the main Book page.
