Hi everyone! Here's a quick list of recent quality of life updates + bug fixes: - The most obvious: you probably noticed your feed is flooded with "badge earned" updates. There was a bug where, when a book was added to a Main Quest, those who had previously joined the Quest did not get credit for reading the newly added book. I fixed this bug and earned out badges for everyone (hence the feed getting flooded!). If you see anything still incorrect on your profile, email me at team@pagebound.co - there was a bug where the Edit option for your Reviews did not consistently show up in the ... (three dot menu) on the review card. This has been fixed! You can now edit your review anywhere you see it. - various infrastructure updates to help with server crashes + load times as we've seen a ton of growth on Pagebound over the past few weeks :) and of course, still working hard on the app! Our plan is to release to our first round of beta testers this month and publicly release before the end of the summer. Appreciate everyone's patience on this! On the bright side, there are TONS of updates on the app that address many feedback concerns we've seen lately :) Lastly, it's been so exciting to see all the new readers join us! Huge thank you to everyone who has sent good vibes, welcoming messages, and answered questions. This community is truly the best. Happy Reading 💙💜 Jennifer & Lucy

I seriously need more people on this book, or reading Shannon Chakraborty altogether because this specific one got me back into reading, I have a special bond to it x) but I also completely fell in love with the Daevabad universe... anyways, THIS IS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH. I never knew I needed this, but a main cast of grumpy middle aged/old and retired pirates bickering on a ship to pursue a quest they did not want to follow in the first place ? Loved it. Want more. The mere fact that Amina is 40ish, has a daughter and a bad knee makes her one of my favorite fantasy main characters of all the books I've read, and I wonder if anyone feels the same =)

Post from the The Iliad forum
I don't know how I came to think about it like this, but the entirety of Achilles' lament over Patrocluse's death came to my brain performed on a stage. There is so much going on in what he says, going from pure grieving sadness to rage to pride to rage again and so on, I would *love* to see and hear it more than read it. Any adaptation of greek mythology in film disappointed me so I'm not exactly wishing for this to happen, I'm just throwing it out here for some reason x)

There were. So many ships. And people. And why so many horse references in the "titles" (bad word choice but idk how else to call it) ?? Big question. I counted, and maybe I'm off by a bit but last time I checked, there is 1,186 ships total and 44 greek leaders announced. This whole thing was. SO LONG. I really enjoyed it, I like keeping track of very long lists for some reason x)
