The term ābrows winged upā bothers me so badly, and itās used so frequently. Anyone else?

I humbly reach out to ask for recommendations that carry the whimsy of Adventure time.
The comics are an obvious choice but anything that has joy in the darkness and can carry serious heartfelt character development while also being WEIRD is what I love. I want creatures and weird events and magic and love of family and friends and romance but not as the most important element. I want SILLINESS and fighting

My list of graphic novels/ comics that I think are examples of stories being more enjoyable/ impactful because of the draw media involved!
Very bias list because I tend to be less critical of this medium then regular text novels.

This author did something not simple, she gave every character a distinct voice. 4 siblings, all girls being raised in the same family but oh how different they all are!!! Beautiful
This is a book of tragedy that speaks to what happens when someone in charge of you makes choices you dont agree with but you are involved in nonetheless
The Father of the family being allowed to trap them all in the Congo during a civil war to prophetize , while not even speaking the language of the village they're in is an intimate echo of the UNITED STATES deciding what is actually "best" for the Congo. He knows best and if you disagree what are you actually going to do about it?
This is a book i would recommend for book clubs, it was very easy and enjoyable to get into flow state whilst reading. The chapters are not miles long, there are many POVS that would lend to very interesting conversations about the US involvement in foreign nations, religion influences, women's struggles of trying to have independence anyway possible and to my surprise a very respectful depiction of disabilities.
Including one of our main characters who has many thoughts about how she is treated in her life for her outward disabilities

I sometimes catch myself using similar words or phrases in my reviews or comments. If PB were to have a feature that could show you which words you repeated the most in a month, I would probably be embarrassed at how many āabsolutelyās and āaction-packed volumeās Iād end up with š So I was super curious to know what other folks love to say on here! What words/phrases do you think you use often?

Hi all! New app version (1.1.93) is now available on both iOS and Android. This includes mostly quality of life updates, some small feature enhancements, and bug fixes - web was also updated! Here's a quick rundown of what changed:
Search Improvements: When you search on the app, you can navigate back to your search results. On web, searching in "Browse Lists" and "Browse Quests" also saves your search results.
Search by Emoji: This beloved feature is now available on the app! You can find a link in Search. This got a design upgrade on web as well - you can now search specifically for books, lists, or quests by Emoji and see the total results for each category.
Updated Emojis: The emoji list was updated on app to include newer emojis
Additional badge slots for Royalty: Royalty can now display up to 12 badges on their profiles (warning: if the app is not updated yet and you display more than 6, the badges will run off the screen!) EDIT: was made aware the badges will run off the screen when viewing someone else's profile. They will look correct when viewing your own. I'm sorry, silly bug from me! Will put up an "emergency" update in next few days.
New ways to add a book: In a shocking turn of events, we are able to offer the Add Missing Book via Goodreads Link feature again. You now have 3 options when adding a new book to the Pagebound database: Goodreads link, ISBN/ASIN manual form, non-ISBN manual form
Block List in Settings: under Account & Settings, you can see all the users you've blocked and manage your block list.
Update Reading Progress remembers your update method: that's a mouthful, but basically if you update your reading progress using %, you'll be defaulted to % the next time you log progress (or pages or minutes, whatever tracking method you choose)
Confirmation popup when clicking I'm Finished: In the progress update modal, there's a confirmation step before finishing the book when you click I'm Finished (for everyone who was accidentally clicking that and messing up their reads!)
What's next on the roadmap? We're working on making editing your reading data more accessible and intuitive (think: updating your start/finish date when you click the "Reading" and "Finished" statuses, editing format and length in the reading status modal) After that, we have major projects related to Quests (Quest dashboards š) and a huge Library revamp (I'm calling this "Library V2")
Thank you everyone for keeping this community thriving! We'll be back in a few weeks with the next update.
Happy reading, Jennifer + Lucy
