What book do you want to read? I'm not talking about a book that has been written already. I'm talking about a book you want written. A dream book. An ideal book. The book you want to reaf before you die.

Do you have any idea of the themes, the characters, the plot? Is it a mirror of your own experiences or a window to a wholly different world?

Mine has always been a (non biographical) mirror to my own experiences. Aside from anything else it's to have another aspec experience so questioning people can see another angle.

Are you the type of person to comment or post more on Pagebound?

Personally, I've noticed I comment MUCH more than I post. Sometimes I don't post for a book at all. I only do so when I have something to say. Meanwhile, I feel like comments spark much more discussion (imo ofc) bc sometimes I can't exactly explain my point on a book, but then someone might make a post on it, then I can engage with it properly. It just makes it easier for me, if that makes sense. When the forum's empty, I feel like I'm talking to myself sometimes tho. 😭

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

Avoiding eye contact final boss I too would watch a conversation I’m having through security cameras instead of face to face if I could 😭

How do you deal with reading when you are away from home? Holidays, house sitting or just general travelling.

Do you fill up your ereader? Take plenty of books? Or does it just depend on where you are going?

immersive reading yay or nay? Do u think it actually made a difference for your reading experience and how? A lot of ppl mentioned to me how hearing an audiobook especially nonfiction while is a rlly nice experience but I’d like to implement it “immersively” instead.
