  • Filtering on home feed?

    I love that I can filter my profile page on the app, but I would love to filter my Home feed the same way! I love that everyone likes to congratulate people on earning badges, but it takes up a lot of my feed šŸ˜…

    I would also like to be able to limit posts I see to books that I have read instead of books on my TBR since I’m not ready to engage with those yet and will probably end up seeing spoilers (it’s me, hi. I’m the problem it’s me.)

  • Pagebound App: #31 in Books

    I just saw that Pagebound is #31 under books in the App Store! (iOS). Yesterday it was around #23. I wanted to encourage those that haven’t written a review to do so! And also I was wondering what other actions can help pagebound get up there in ranking. ā™„ļø

  • Privacy settings/ removing clutter

    Heya, a friend of mine just switched over from goodreads but is rather overwhelmed and also somewhat uninterested in the updates from strangers that pop up on the main page.

    So my question. Is there any way to remove that and make this whole thing a little more private. Like only seeing updates of the people you follow as an example?

    I myself struggle with that and get easily overwhelmed with too much info, so its also something I asked myself but I haven’t found any relating settings so far.

    Give me your juiciest thriller/murder mystery

    I want to be bamboozled, I want puzzles to solve, I want clues to put on a theorizing string board. Bonus points if there's witty dialogue. I feel like really good thrillers and murder mysteries are hard to find so let me know the best you've read!

    Edit to add: I've created a list of all these great recs in case anyone else wants to keep track of them!

  • A personal note + nonfic rec

    This year has been really tough in my personal life (although Pagebound has been a joy amidst the bs) and one of the things I've had to grapple with is my relationship to anger. As women, we're socialized to be understating, empathetic, and forgiving, often to our own detriment. Instead of feeling angry, many of us (myself very much included) tend to feel hurt or sad. I've found so much inspiration from women in literature who embrace their anger and act on it, even if it's in "unhinged" ways.

    My therapist asked me to read "The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships" and I HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to tap into their anger and use it in healthy ways. Anger is such an important emotion to be in tune with; it lets us know when our boundaries have been crossed and when we're being treated unfairly.

    This quest means so much to me and really feels like a personal quest as well; I hope others find just as much inspiration from these books as I have.

  • What book made you go "good for her"?

    Although this quest leans more literary, I'd love to get a rec thread going of books from all genres that center unhinged women. Pop in your nominations that should be included in the quest also!

  • Suggestion for the next quests

    I am not sure if it fits into your timeframe of contemporary, but would love to see the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett on the list! The series is long, but many books can be read independently and the language is very light. Though it is in many ways a satire on the high fantasy genre, so maybe not a starter pack choicešŸ¤”

    I think I'm ready for my Dark Academia Era

    Going through this quest I have so many of these books tbr and I think its about time I changed that. November is going to be (the start of) my Dark Academia Era, I'm updating my Pagebound plan now and locking in friends šŸŽÆ

    I'm thinking Piranesi first, Babel, Ninth House then Immortal Dark but not set. Is anyone planning a Dark Academia read in November from this list? Want to buddy read?

    I just downloaded it from the App Store. I couldn’t figure out how to post from the app, but it’s live now!

  • The App is live!!

    I am over the moon to share that the app is officially live on both iOS and Android!!

    We've quite literally poured our blood, sweat and (lots of) tears into the app development over the past 9 months and we could not be more thrilled for everyone to experience it!

    We're still being indexed in app store search so you may have to scroll to find us, or type in Pagebound: Social Book Tracker. Here's links to iOS and Android: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pagebound-social-book-tracker/id6751526412 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.pagebound.app

    There are quite a few improvements and new features in the app, including:

    • Book Journeys (click the map icon on the book cards in your library and other user's library to see their posts, comments, and updates for a specific book)
    • Quick access to "add to plan"
    • Filtering your activity on profile
    • Save posts
    • upgraded Read Dates editing

    This is the first release, so there will be many more additions and improvements to come. (PS for Android users: we're aware of two bugs related to library imports from Goodreads/Storygraph, and issues with editing read dates - these have already been resolved and are pending Google approval for release.)

    We owe a huge thank you to our beta testers who worked diligently over the last month to report hundreds of bugs and help us get the app prepared for release. A huge round of applause to them.

    We hope you love the app as much as we do; it definitely makes engaging on PB so much more convenient and fun. If you have a great experience with the app, we'd love if you'd consider supporting us through Pagebound Royalty; Lucy and I have worked for $0 over the past year to bring the app and website to fruition, and have been covering business costs with our savings accounts. Your contribution means we can continue to work full-time on Pagebound without influence from investors or advertisers, and keep Pagebound 100% for readers by readers. Thank you so much to all the Royalty who have already contributed; it truly means the world to us and keeps Pagebound online!

    ok now go download the app and tell us what you think!

    Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy

    PS - leaving us a review in app stores also helps tremendously :)

    Is there any way to change the edition of a book on your shelf?

  • Question for the class - books in other languages

    I'm planning to read the Spanish original of Tender is the Flesh (CadƔver exquisito) in a few weeks. Is it badge fraud if I mark the English version included in the quest as complete? Ahaha
