Would it be possible to add a filter in our shelves for books we do not own (to complement the Owned toggle that already exists)? Seeing which books I own is helpful in terms of prioritizing a physical TBR, but I would love to be able to filter for Not Owned books to get ahead of which books I should put holds on at the library.

Hi there! Would it be possible to implement a grid view when looking at the shelves in our library? Even if it’s something like being able to toggle from list view to grid view, I think it would be awesome!

There are so many beautiful covers out there and I would love if we could organize our shelves to show us a tidy little grid that focuses on cover art. :)

Thank you for your time! ♡

Would it be possible to filter "Interested" by review/rating?

I have so many in my library I don't know where to start. Filtering by rating or length of book would really help

Similar to the feature request to be able to search our own shelves, I would also like to be able to search other people's shelves as well. For some very specific context, whenever I see a post asking for recommendations, I like to go to that users profile and do a quick skim through their Finished shelf with an eye out for any books that I also have marked as Finished; if I see that they haven't read the book I want to suggest, then I can feel confident recommending the book knowing that it's a fresh suggestion. However, if they have read hundreds and hundreds of books then it's tedious and I'll just give up and throw my recommendation into the world regardless.

I'm not sure if this feature would fall under the existing request to search our own shelves, so please reject as duplicate if it's already going to be included!

I wish we could be able to search within our library sections such as TBR. I have over 1000 books on my TBR for example so it's hard to remember which I have added and which I have yet to the list.

On desktop, select multiple books from a status or custom shelf in your library to batch-edit

would it be possible to implement a share option for reviews on web from the [...] drop down? share is currently an option on posts and comments on web and on posts, comments and reviews in the app. it would appear at the present time the only way to get a review link is to open it in it's own page and grab the link from the address bar. i would appreciate a fewer clicks option of being able to grab a share link from the [...]!

Love the app guys. Currently I'm use custom shelves to track my romance book tropes & micro-tropes. Over time, the list has grown into 150+ private custom shelf which are trope-based shelves, and managing them has started to feel difficult as the list gets longer.

At the moment I'm facing a bit of difficulty:

1. The shelf list is very long and requires a lot of scrolling.
2. There’s no scrollbar limited to the list items/shelf section/custom shelf section within the library.
3. There’s no way to search within custom shelves or lists items within the library
4. There are no sorting or filtering options within custom shelves or lists within the library

I wanted to suggest a few improvements that could make this much easier:

1. A scrollable shelf panel instead of full-page scrolling, meaning a scrollbar for the custom shelf panel within the library, so we don't have to scroll so much.
2. A search bar to quickly find custom shelves or list items within the library.
3. Filtering options for private shelves/custom shelves or list items within the library
4. Sorting options/Filtering options for private shelves/custom shelves or list items within the library, such as name (A–Z / Z–A), date added, or book count, ascending, descending.

Would you guys please consider expanding the existing custom shelf system to support searching, filtering, and sorting? This approach would greatly improve trope tracking/custom shelf tracking for readers who use shelves heavily.

Thanks so much for all the work you put into Pagebound and for being open to user feedback!

Hi!

I was wondering if there was a way we could create a new shelf as we’re sorting books we’re looking to read.

For example. I’m looking through lists and I found a book I like. I go to update my status as interested and then I see all my shelves that are already created. BUT at this point in the process I’d like the option to create a NEW shelf called “Books From Cool List” because that’s not currently a shelf in my shelves.

But I don’t see a way to do this (on the app) and so I’d have to go out of the book, go to my library, create the shelf, and then go back and find the book I was looking at from the cool list.

So could there be a way to create the new shelf as I’m already in the process of setting my status? Like at the bottom of the shelves, an option that reads “create new shelf”

I hope this makes sense 🫣. Thank you!

Really tiny request and not sure fully if it would work so if it’s a no that’s 1000% okay!

On the picking format options is there a way to incorporate library books? I know some libraries have physical, audio and ebooks own so I don’t know if this would go along and maybe it’s opening a can of worms of minute detail that doesn’t need to be opened!

However just curious if there was also an option to included a library option, I’d like to track which books I’m getting from there which I’m doing with my shelves atm and it is working as a good method anyway. As said unsure if it would open a can of worms as then maybe it would also need to have a “Own by Me”, “Borrowed of a Friend” and then a “Library Lend” or if it can just be a library option along side the physical/digital/audio/tandem?

Unsure though if having it next to the current options it would affect how you pull the stat data but just a minor request to try incorporate the library more! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thankyou for all the amazing work already done!

Quality of life update: when you move a book to "reading", "re-reading", "finished", "dnf", you'll see options to update the start date, finish date, tracking mode, format, and length right in the status update modal.

If the book is in "reading" or "re-reading", you'll see an option to edit these details in the status update modal

This might be very niche for me, but I like to read my books in multiple formats as I’m reading. I usually start with the physical book (nothing beats the smell of a book!) but I do that before work. I might swap to the audiobook while I’m working so I can stay absorbed in the story and not hate the soul crushing state of late stage capitalism more for keeping me from my true love (reading). Then I might go back to the regular book after work, or if it’s a big fantasy I might swap to the ebook as well because holding it is awkward and I don’t want to crack the spine. Because of this longwinded story, I track my reading here based on percentage complete, and I don’t really know how many pages I read or minutes I listen to books. But I’d love to see what that equals out to. I figured since I can’t log these swaps (and idk how that could be done) seeing the equivalent of total pages/minutes read at the monthly/annual wrap ups would be really cool!

I really enjoy the search by emoji function on the website, and I’d love to be able to do the same on the app.
