Thank you, Pagebound 🤍

I had to hop on here and say that I’m an author who was publisbed by a very small, indie press. Earlier today, the anthology I am a part of was featured on the Discover page under Today’s Featured Emoji. Thank you, Jennifer and Lucy, for creating such an amazing platform that allows for special moments like this. We authors thrive thanks to people like you. 🫶🏼

All the Way to the River: Love, Loss, and Liberation

Elizabeth Gilbert

What if your most beautiful love story turned into your biggest nightmare? An essential, universally resonant new memoir from the #1 bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic. Twenty years ago, Elizabeth Gilbert’s Eat Pray Love inspired millions of readers to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery. A decade later, Big Magic empowered countless others to live their most creative lives. Now comes another landmark book—about love and loss, addiction and recovery, grief and liberation. In 2000, a friend sent Liz to see a new hairdresser named Rayya Elias. An intense and unlikely curiosity sparked between these two apparent opposites: Rayya, an East Village badass who lived boldly on her own terms but feared she was a failed artist; Liz, a married people-pleaser with a surprisingly unfettered sense of creativity. Over the years, they became friends, then best friends, then inseparable. When tragedy entered their lives, the truth was finally laid bare: The two were in love. Unacknowledged: they were also a pair of addicts, on a collision course toward catastrophe. What if the love of your life—and the person you most trusted in the world—became a danger to your sanity and wellbeing? What if the dear friend who taught you so much about your self-destructive tendencies became the unstable partner with whom you disastrously reenacted every one of them? And what if your most devastating heartbreak opened a pathway to your greatest awakening? All the Way to the River is for everyone who has ever been captive to love – or to any other passion, substance, or craving—and who yearns, at long last, for peace and freedom.

Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen

A wonderfully entertaining coming-of-age story, Northanger Abbey is often referred to as Jane Austen's "Gothic parody." Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers give the story an uncanny air, but one with a decidedly satirical twist. The story's unlikely heroine is Catherine Morland, a remarkably innocent seventeen-year-old woman from a country parsonage. While spending a few weeks in Bath with a family friend, Catherine meets and falls in love with Henry Tilney, who invites her to visit his family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once there, Catherine, a great reader of Gothic thrillers, lets the shadowy atmosphere of the old mansion fill her mind with terrible suspicions. What is the mystery surrounding the death of Henry's mother? Is the family concealing a terrible secret within the elegant rooms of the Abbey? Can she trust Henry, or is he part of an evil conspiracy? Catherine finds dreadful portents in the most prosaic events, until Henry persuades her to see the peril in confusing life with art. Executed with high-spirited gusto, Northanger Abbey is a lighthearted, yet unsentimental commentary on love and marriage.

Other languages?

Am I the only one who’s been getting comments with different languages? I mean, people should totally be able to do that, but maybe there could be a “I read the English version” or something. Is this something I did? It’s not even in my own language but two different ones - German and something I don’t recognise.

Add books to “read” but don’t count in the year

Want: Option to add books to your “read” collection without it counting as part of your yearly read/challenge.

Why: I’ve only added books I’ve read since making a GR account a few years back; definitely not a complete list of my entire read collection. I see books pop up that I’ve read prior to the internet book sphere and will add to my personal list but not my “read” books bc idk if it will add to my challenge for the year (pls dismiss this request if this is the case lol). Anyway I’d love to see forum posts on those books on my feed and have it in my “read” pile without it counting towards any goals. I am a stickler about the chronology of my lists so idk if anyone else would be interested in this 🤔

List Additions from Book Main Menu

I'm not sure if this would be doable or if my explanation will make sense but it'd be cool if when you search a book and go to add it to your tbr/interested/etc. or a shelf, there could also be the option on that same menu of adding it to one of your lists (the ones created by you not ones you follow) instead of having to go directly to the list's page to be able to add books. Hopefully this makes sense and I totally understand if it's not possible but I appreciate the chance to simply ask, thank you!

Add a note to library / List / Quest books

When you add a book to your library, list, or quest, you can add a note. For example, if you add a book to your TBR, add a personal note that shows up in your library "recommended to me by Lucy". For lists, add an optional note about why the book fits the list or why someone should read it. Same for Quests!

Roadmap, Feature Requests, and Enhancements [11/19/25]

We have a new app release available on iOS and Android as of this afternoon! Please update your apps to see the following updates (also available on web):

Public Roadmap We get a huge amount of feedback every day, and see all of your chatter in the Pagebound Club about requests and enhancements. One of our core values is transparency, and in that spirit we have released a public Roadmap to show everyone what we’re working on, what we have planned, and what has been released. Everyone can view this roadmap in the footer on web, or in the “more” menu on the app.

Official Feature Requests On the Roadmap, you’ll see a link to Feature Requests. One benefit of joining Pagebound Royalty is that you can submit official feature requests, which we will mark as “approved” or “won't do,” each with an explanation. Once work has started on a request, it will move to the roadmap. Pagebound Royalty members also have the ability to comment and like both roadmap items and feature requests. We have pre-populated the roadmap with things we’re working on through the end of the year, and added our most popular requests to the Feature Request section. While we accept and read feedback from anyone, we do not have the bandwidth as a 2-person team to respond individually; the Roadmap will give everyone the ability to see what’s coming soon on Pagebound, give us a streamlined and efficient way to respond to requests, and the feedback form is still available at support.pagebound.co to anyone.

Giveaways We've been working behind the scenes to put together a Giveaway offering which will go live early 2026. This means anyone on Pagebound will be able to enter Giveaways for physical, audio, and ebooks :) Authors of Pagebound: If you or anyone you know is looking for marketing opportunities, we'd love work with you! Check out https://support.pagebound.co/giveaways to learn more; we'd love if you shared this with your author communities as well!

Other Improvements In addition to various bug fixes, we also added a quick-link when you create a Progress Update (% bar on your home page) to add a comment to update your followers! This is a great place to share personal updates, what you think of the book so far, and quick thoughts (ex. "loving this so far"). The book forums are still the place to start more in-depth discussions relevant to the broader community.

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💜💙
