I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this. I looked through some of the requests but didn't find anything. If possible, I thought it would be cool to see our top 2-3 authors for the month/year in Stats.

I enjoy seeing data like how many days, pages read, average rating, etc., and thought it might be nice to quickly see if there are any authors I read a lot of. I don't usually pay attention to that while reading, but after a conversation with my friends, knowing theirs, I got curious about my own top authors.

I think it would be helpful for any readers wanting to keep track of that info, just to know or share with others.

I saw similar requests but not this specifically so please forgive if it is a duplicate.

Could the custom shelf order be made fully customizable?

I use several tracking apps and I have been slowly trying to move fully over to pagebound so I am creating custom shelves to keep up with things like my wishlist, format owned, books left in a series I have started, etc. I would love the option to organize my shelves to where I can choose in what order the shelves appear or to be able to create a shelf within a shelf sort of like a grouping. For example: If I created a Romance shelf but wanted to further organize, I could go into that shelf and create a romantic comedy, romantic suspense, etc section within the shelf so it is all grouped together.

I searched both “block” and “unblock” to try to look for this request and couldn’t find anything.

I’m wondering if there is a way to view a list of accounts we have blocked. Instagram had this feature within our account settings back when I used it.

I like to reevaluate blocked accounts every now and then, or do temporary blocks and then unblock the person when I feel ready to see their posts again.

I just saw “comment unavailable” for this first time in a while and I totally forgot who it was I blocked 🤷🏼‍♀️

When I’m looking at lists and click on one, I hate that when I go back I have to re-search what I was looking for. Like I wish I could just go back to the search results instead of home

I used the search phrase Reading progress and didn't see a similar request.

Currently when I update the reading progress of a book the second time, the tracking metric defaults to either the number of pages read or the time listened.

I want to select the correct format for my medium and enter the figure for the number of pages in the book or the duration of the book; but I track my progress using percentage.

Currently, every time I update my reading progress I have to reselect the metric type to percentage.

It would be great if PB remembered and automatically selected the last used metric.

I would like to be able to set a preference for inputting progress on a book. Currently, it seems to default to pages so I need to change this to percent every time I enter progress. Maybe it could default to what was selected during the previous input for the same title? Small issue overall, but it would same some time.

Currently, the mobile app is not available in all regions (in this case, Nepal in particular). Are there any plans to make the mobile app more generally available?

I have looked but if there I can delete, I would love for the genres of the book to be listed. 🙏🏽

Hi, I’ve noticed that it’s really easy to accidentally mark a book as finished when you don’t mean to.

I think it would be really great to have a window with “cancel” and “save” options that pops up when we click on “I’m finished” so that we can make sure we’re not accidentally marking books as finished before we’re ready.

Thanks for considering. 😊

I noticed just now while adding a book that Nature is missing from the non-fiction main genres and Picture Book is missing from the non-fiction sub-types. Nature has been a top-level non-fiction category separate from Science & Technology since the 1990s so it seems weird and inaccurate to stuff all those books under science & tech, and there are lots of picture books used as non-fiction learning tools.

I'm not sure how this would best be featured, but I'd love to have some kind of a tag or component of a review maybe? of where you heard about the book. I feel like my shelves are really clunky and I'd like a way to just look at a tag of all the books I've perhaps tagged as saw-on-instagram or something like that, so when I'm browsing a bookstore in person, I can peruse that very specific kind of list. I'm not sure how feasible this is or how it would best be incorporated, though!

hi, could we add "literary studies" and "monograph" to the nonfiction genres as well please? I'm adding a book now that discusses tang dynasty poetry and realised that it doesn't fit under any of the genres so far except maybe "history." thank you!

hi, i noticed that the book id field is currently restricted only to isbn and asin numbers, so i wanted to request that an additional option be created for books that do not have either. i understand that this was likely to prevent media such as fanfiction or webtoons from being added to the database, but this also leaves out quite a number of books, such as older books that were published before isbn numbers were first used, which i noticed some others asking about in the announcement post. similarly, non-traditionally published novels such as webnovels, which make up the vast majority of genre fiction books in east asian publishing industries, do not have isbns or asins, instead using book ids unique to the platform they're published on. there's a rather big audience for these webnovels on pagebound already, so it would be wonderful if we could add and discuss the books we've been reading here too.

therefore, would it be possible to create a separate "book id" option that doesn't have a character limit? (the current isbn and asin fields are limited to either 10 or 13 characters.) this would then be able to accommodate as many different options as possible, such as "n/a" for books without any ids whatsoever. alternatively, two options could be added: one without a character restriction, and one for books with no id. thank you!

I'm a little obsessed with some of the Quest badges and I would love to be able to show them off with stickers through the merch store! I don't know the logistics/feasibility of ordering stickers, but I thought it would be cool if there were larger ones for water bottles and laptops, but also maybe a sheet of smaller ones for people who do physical reading journals/planners to track their quest plan/progression.

I would love to see a place on a user’s profile to leave a comment on their profile. Sometimes I want to ask about their featured books, sometimes I want a place to comment about their profile About Me section blurb, maybe I just want to comment specifically to that user to leave a note of encouragement or wish them well. I would love to be able to interact with individuals deeper 1:1 and there’s not really a place to do that.
