    This was very sad… I’ve definitely learnt a lot reading this, and I think I’m going to research Maya Angelou a lot more, because she seems so fascinating. I’m really glad I read this, it was very eye opening

    Forum for asking tech questions and learning about Pagebound for new users

    Hi! I did search through the requests, but I couldn’t see anything like this so I thought I’d ask!

    Would it be possible to have a separate forum to ask about tech related questions or for new Pagebound users to learn more about how PB works, to keep the club forum more focused on book related chatter? I’ve seen a few posts related to this topic, so I thought I’d put the idea out there!

    Thank you!! ☺️

  • Rainbow ABC Challenge

    I spent way too many hours making a reading challenge spreadsheet for myself, so I figured I'd share it in case anyone else thinks it sounds fun.

    I wanted a reading challenge that would take me a really long time to finish. Like, realistically, probably years if I ever decide to go for full completion.

    The idea started with a simple question:

    What if an alphabet challenge wasn't just one book per letter?

    Instead of reading one book for A and moving on, you can keep working on A by finding books with different cover colours.

    Maybe your first A book has a red cover. Then later you find a blue one. Then a green one.

    The challenge combines an alphabet challenge with a cover colour challenge. Every letter has 12 colour prompts, so you can keep working on a letter instead of immediately moving on to the next one. Or you can jump all around. Whatever you want! There are different achievements and 'tiers' so you can still get them even if you don't complete letters! I did make the rules a bit lax for the letter part to make it more reader friendly. It can come from the title or the author name.

    You can play casually and just fill in a few colours here and there, or go completely overboard and try to complete every colour for every letter.

    Naturally, I went completely overboard and built a spreadsheet for it.

    The spreadsheet includes:

    -Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum tiers for every letter -28 achievements (these will fill in automatically if you tick in the tracker) -Automatic progress tracking -Reading statistics -A book log -Achievement tracking

    My favourite part is probably the achievement system. It gives the challenge a bit of a game-like feel and breaks things up with goals beyond simply filling in boxes.

    I had a lot of fun putting this together, and I'm excited to start using it myself. If it sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to check it out!

    I'll include a couple sheet screenshots in the comments!

    Edit: Feel free to come back to this post and share when you get achievements or tiers! I’d so love to cheer you on!

    Also don’t hesitate to let me know if something doesn’t work! I did my best to test every formula but I could have missed something.
