Anyone else noticed that some books have had their history removed? Some are now showing that I've never marked them as read or anything like that. I might just be going mad, but I'm 99% sure I had at least some of these marked. Especially the ones in my lists, some of those are now marked as unread - I'm almost certain I would have marked them as read?

is anyone else having an issue with the dates their inputting for reading? i find i enter the dates and when i refresh and go back to my finished list, the date I started reading is deleted. i have refreshed and re-entered the dates a couple of times!

oh my god WHAT IS THAT

I'm still supporting my friend in court & I decided to reread A Man Called Ove so I can annotate it, (I literally just read in the waiting room most of the day!) but I can't put it in my library cos it's already there, so technically it doesn't count. Sad Leah.... 😔

The new app version is live on Android and iOS, please update your apps to see the Mute + Owned book options that went live on web this week! Reminder: you can mute books or mark them as "owned" in the book status modal, and you can manage your muted books under Account & Settings.

This update also includes some new features (all platforms):

• We have a new book status: Interested ! So many readers lament their huge TBRs and hesitate to add to that growing list. The Interested status is your answer; you can log a book you'd like to remember, or that piques your interest, without committing it to your TBR. When you mark a book as "Interested", it will create an activity item in your feed, but you will not see posts about it in your Main or My Books feeds. Anecdotally, I've been using a custom "interested" shelf for a while, and am excited to convert these to the Interested status (and also add books guilt-free to my library, like a Pagebound digital book haul 😏)
• on the top of the Discuss page, you'll see a scrollable list of books the people you follow are reading, along with their progress. You can click these books to go right to their progress update, see if they wrote a note, or write them a note! Think of this like a status update where you can chat more personally and keep tabs on a daily basis. This list is ordered by who most recently updated their progress.
• We linked the Merch Store in the footer on web, and in the More tab in the app
• Android users in the US can sign up for Pagebound Royalty right in the app! We would be so grateful if you considered supporting us through Royalty.

We also made some changes to points, outlined below with an explanation:

• You will no longer receive points for posts or comments in the Pagebound Club (this applies ONLY to Pagebound Club, NOT to book forums. You will continue to receive points for book forum posts and comments). While we love seeing the friendships and community built in the club, we've also seen some not so genuine behavior. This change is intended to encourage more respectful, authentic engagement and to stop rewarding less authentic posting/commenting.
• You will now receive 3 points for every day that you log reading progress, and you will receive 5 points instead of 1 point for finishing a book. We want folks to be rewarded for reading, and give lurkers a way to level up :) We hope this also encourages ppl to comment their personal updates on their reading progress activity items, rather than in the book forums, since you receive points for logging progress! (note: you receive 3 points for logging progress per day, not per book per day)

We'll be back soon with more updates!

Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy 💙💜

DNFing at this point. There's potential but the worldbuilding is just not my kinda thing and the fmc is so not tolerable. i was looking forward to this but i do not understand this girl at all 😭

Hi everyone, hope your Monday went well!

I have some thoughts / questions / suggestion regarding the recent founder update. Firstly I wanna just say that I appreciate Lucy's and Jennifer's work here so much and the new "interested" category (in yellow!!!) is awesome! Having said that I (personally) feel that I'd love to still get at least a few points for club interactions - even though I obviously understand why that decision was made.

For me the club is one of the coolest spaces to hang out on here and I've enjoyed it so much - now since the update yesterday I feel (although this is v subjective) that it has gone quieter and I hope this is / will not be the case due to no points being allocated anymore. I was also wondering if I just use the club so much more than most users here and hence feel that way? Would be cool to get some opinions :) Maybe I should try hanging out in more book forums haha

Anyways, I was gonna suggest that e.g. 1 point for posts/interactions in the club might be a more reasonable idea to consider for the future (compared to the 5 points each we had before), to still give a little incentive but not encourage point farming - but I absolutely see that everyone working on this app is probably super busy so I'm not expecting and sudden change or anything.

Just curious what people think so far cause I've mostly seen engagement about the new "interest" feature at this point ^^

*small edit: I realized I did indeed get points for upvotes on this original post here which I thought I wouldn't get anymore - but my suggestion from above still stands 🥹

I searched for this topic in several different ways and couldn't find an answer. When I imported my books, I have a book that is now showing in my library twice. I figured out how to remove it from my Yearly Challenge list (little pencil icon at the top left to edit) so it isn't skewing my numbers, but I can't figure out how to remove the duplicate from my library. I'm probably just missing something super obvious 😅 but I'm not sure what.
