I saw a post on Instagram with a proposed 2025 update to the Myers-Briggs personality test that I thought was so funny link here! I’m most definitely an ITND. 😆

This made me wonder what a ✨book reading personality✨ would look like, so here is something I came up with:

• H/D/L/A (hold a physical book/digital ebook/listen to audio/all (or some) of the above)
• O/T (one book at a time/two+ books at a time)
• M/P (mood read/planner)
• W/N (written, annotated pages/no annotations)

lol sorry if it’s confusing!! I tried to make sure the letters weren’t doubled. Anyway, I’m an ATMN! 💁🏻‍♀️ What are you??

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.

A good finish to a fun duet! Excited to start the 3rd one later this weekend 😀

Is it worth the read? I want to start reading more vampire themed books, but I’ve only read Twilight. Is it slow or fast paced? Is the romance like a hallmark movie or spicy? I’ve read a little bit of the preview, but I’m still iffy on really starting it. Someone convince me please 😮‍💨
