  • Reading Dates are back! + notifications update (3/22/25)

    Hi all, thanks for your patience while we sorted out the Read Date issues. Adding and editing read dates is officially back on the site in a new and improved format that eliminates any date formatting / timezone issues. You can add and edit read dates for any book in "Finished" or "DNF". (Little note here: rather than editing dates on an existing reading instance, you will need to delete the old dates and add in the correct dates). We've also heard your requests for more relevant notifications - now, you will only be notified when someone replies to your comment, or someone comments on your post. When we were a smaller community, seeing more notifications was helpful, but we have quickly outgrown that! Custom notification settings is a trickier down-the-line project so we hope this improves things in the meantime. We'll be back soon with more updates! Have a great weekend :) Jennifer & Lucy

  • comment dates?

    Is it just me or is there a way to see the date someone left a comment/post? Especially like update posts on a book someone's reading and idk if they left that post an hour ago or three months ago and I don't wanna reply to someone's "50% through" update if it was like. Weeks ago haha.

  • Let's chat audiobook narrators

    I consume lots of my reads via audiobook, and have definitely had the experience where a narrator's voice is simply not doing it for me. I've also found a couple of voice actors whose audiobooks are delightful! What are some audiobooks or narrators you'd recommend? (and why?)

  • A new Pagebound Club + introducing Founder Announcements! (3/17/25)

    Hi everyone! As our community has grown, we’ve seen the Pagebound Club used as a forum for general bookish chatter. In an effort to provide both a general community space and keep a forum for product announcements, we’ve split what was previously Pagebound Club into two separate clubs: Founder Announcements and Pagebound Club. You can find the new Pagebound Club in the Discuss tab, along with a 3rd feed for “Club Posts.” This is the place to go for more general reader convos that don’t fit neatly into a quest or book forum. Founder Announcements is where you will find our Product & Dev updates. A link to this club is in the footer. Only Lucy and I are able to post here - to send us feedback or flag a bug, please use the forms linked in the footer. This new setup makes it easier for folks to see all the official announcements without them getting buried :) Also, we have turned off comment notifications for the welcome post - apologies to everyone who has gotten dozens of welcome post notifications! We hope everyone enjoys the new Pagebound Club, can’t wait to see the new convos over there! Happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy

  • Never Let Me Go
    Thoughts from 35% (fingers crossed it will be worth it)

    It’s so slow so far but I am really interested with how the story will play out based on its premise so I will be patient and keep reading.

  • Negative opinions?

    This place is so positive I feel too self-conscious to post anything negative about a book. Is that just me? Since the community is still growing it feels like a lot of spotlight on one negative opinion. I wouldn't mind posting a bad review on Goodreads but here I would feel bad 😅

  • update re: Read Dates (3/12/25)

    Hi all! Quick announcement that we have temporarily removed the ability to add and edit read dates in the book status modal. There have been some sneaky bugs, especially for international users, and we're working on a more reliable system to release this week or next. Rest assured that all your data is saved, and your read dates are still being logged when you update a book status on the site. This change simply hides the ability to edit those dates until we get a patch out. Thanks for your patience and understanding! Happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy

  • Update 3/11/25 (new feature alert!)

    Hi everyone! So exciting to see so many new friends here in the community. With all the new signups, we want to give everyone a quick way to find similar users. One of the best and most rewarding things about Pagebound is the reader friendships we find here, so we hope this list of similar users sparks some bookish connections 💜 A link to the "Readers with similar taste" page is now on the Discover People page (or, click here). This has been a highly requested feature since day 1; we will work on making this more robust in the future (showing users with the highest overlap %) but for now, we'll show you users with similar My Taste books. Huge thanks to everyone who has shared us on socials and helped spread the word to friends! Happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💙💜

  • basic data of the books

    first I'd like to say that I really like pagebound. I've never used any book tracking websites (I think excel is so sick of me atp) because I was overwhelmed for some reason and I don't have that here. idk if it is because I'm a librarian but I think it would be very useful to be able to see some basic data on the books, like the publishing year and stuff like that!

    Not sure exactly why I am doing this since I did not enjoy the one and only other Sally Rooney book I read. Let's see.

  • An Owned option with what format(s)

    Again, I may be missing it somewhere, I just started adding and using this. Loving it! Would love to have a way to sort books by if I own them already or not. So I could add a book as not reading, but I own it as an ebook and an audiobook. Or I could add my books and search which books I own on audiobook/ebook/hardcover/special edition/paperback And I second whoever said to be able to change the covers in our library
