Sponsored Limited Time Quest (Jun-Oct 2026): Required reading list for the misfits, the dark academics, & the magical. Join us as we count down to the release of DEAD BEAT on Sep 15, 2026!

Happy Summer + Pride! (and happy winter to our southern hemisphere PB community 🙂) The Summer Readalong and Pride Special event are now live; check the Discuss tab to see the selections and badges.
We also have a very exciting new Limited Time Quest dropping this afternoon (Monday June 1st, around 4pm EST) sponsored by Flatiron Books: The Leigh Bardugo Curriculum. Each of the sponsored Quests so far have had a slightly different format, and this one is centered around Leigh Bardugo's works in anticipation of her new book coming out in September.
What are sponsored Limited Time Quests? Publishers can partner with Pagebound to sponsor a Limited Time Quest. We only run a limited number per quarter since we are conscious of overwhelming the community. Since spots are limited, we only accept sponsored Quests that we think a significant portion of the community will enjoy. While sponsored Quests are a fundamental part of keeping Pagebound running (Royalty revenue does not cover our costs) and we appreciate everyone who supports them, they are completely optional! If you do not vibe with a Limited Time Quest, you can check out the 100+ other Quests we have on PB.
Excited for a new season of badges and readalongs with everyone! Drop any comments or questions about readalongs, special events, or Quests here :)

1Additional book forum sorting
Would it be possible to add a secondary sorting to book forums so that within a singular percent, the posts are then sorted by page number?
I'll sometimes add posts from a chapter long after I read it because I didn't have solidified thoughts on it at the time of reading, and these tend to show up as the first post in that % rather than later, when they happen later in that chapter. It seems the default sorting is by % then by newly-created posts.
I suppose some of this could be solved by combining posts, and sometimes I'm able to do that at the time of creation when it's well-related. But sometimes it's like the above example where one post is a spoiler, and another one I want to purposely not spoiler since it can be pushed out to the feed for friends that might want a spoiler-free glimpse at the book and will maybe pick it up in the future because of that.
Even with page numbers varying between users and the particular edition they're reading, I think this could also provide a cleaner experience for scrolling through the forums looking for a particular event to comment on.
Totally understand if this isn't possible since pages are a manual input user-side but wanted to ask in case it's an easy fix!

Emoji-Based Discovery & Search Filter
I’d like to propose a new search/filter capability that allows users to discover books based on user-assigned emojis. This would provide a more visual, intuitive way to discover new reads beyond traditional genre tags.
Proposed Functionality: *Add an Emoji Selector (dropdown or icon grid) to the search bar or filter menu. *Selecting an emoji populates a list of books most frequently associated with that symbol.
User Benefit: Creates a unique "vibe-based" discovery tool that feels modern and community-driven.

13Populate plan from lists
Hey guys. Thanks for your time in considering this. I tried to see if this had been requested already and while there was something similar I couldn’t see exactly this.
Just wondering if we could populate our plans from our TBR? Like along with “add book” could that have the option of bringing up our TBR so we can add directly from there?
Thanks :)

Further sorting of list of quests you’ve joined based on A-Z title of quest and progression through the quest (either actual number of books read or % completion), with fully completed quests filtered to the bottom.

Sort by page length
It would be useful if there was a way to sort my library sections by estimate estimated page length, both high to low and low to high. This is both useful for when I’ve done a series of shorter books and want to push myself with something longer so I can look at my TBR for longer options, or if I’m just a few books away from a goal and I want to get some short ones in there in time.

Friend Journey
This was talked about in another request but I'm posting here so it has its own ticket to be assessed by J&L. It would be so cool to have a friendship journey with users the same way we can look at our book journey. That way we could keep a record of our past interactions with users, and even see if there are users we interact with regularly but didn't realise it.

Ability to reset reading type
Once I set the type to pages read, it locks it and I cannot switch to percentage or minutes listened. The only workaround is to set the book as read and then reread to start the process over again.

I noticed that this quest has both Ninth House and Hell Bent on it but for other series it seems that only the first book in the series is present. Is there a reason this series seems to be the exception? Or perhaps a reason why other series don’t have the same privilege?

Hello! I’m not sure if this quest is accepting recommendations, but I would highly recommend Melissa Febos’ memoirs to be added to this list!
Melissa writes about her experiences of love, addiction, sex & sexuality, sex work, and life as a queer woman. She’s written the following memoirs:
🖤 Whip Smart: The True Story of a Secret Life ❤️ Abandon Me 💛 The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex
She’s also written Girlhood, which is an essay collection that functions as memoir!
I’d truly read anything Melissa publishes, she’s the author that opened me up to memoirs 🥹💞

Hi everyone, we've been quietly releasing new features and quality of life updates over the past month on all platforms, please make sure your app is updated to see the latest improvements!
One of the biggest updates is moderation improvement. We have new tools for both our moderators (who run the PageboundGuide account) and for the community:
- You can now report a post, review, or comment for spoilers
- You can send a post or comment to PBGuide for Content Guideline violations
- Of course, you can still flag a post, comment, review, or user profile for hate speech, harassment, self-promo, etc
PageboundGuides will review all reported content and either:
- add a spoiler tag to posts & reviews
- flag comments with spoilers
- approve flags for posts/reviews/comments/profiles that violate the Terms & Conditions (hate speech etc)
- archive Posts that do not meet the Posting & Content Guidelines
What is archiving? When a post does not meet the Content Guidelines (link here, quick version under Account & Settings -> Posting Guidelines in the app) PBGuide can archive the post from the book forum. The post is hidden from the default forum view but stays on your profile and book journey. You can include archived posts in your forum view by changing the forum filter from "All Posts" to "Include archived posts"
The PBGuides have been working hard behind the scenes to clean up very busy forums (especially the readalong forums). We know this has been a point of frustration for many, and giving everyone the ability to send these posts to PBGuide for review is just one of many ways we will be improving forum quality over the coming months.
Other New Features & Improvements
- Feed filters on your Main Feed and Following feed
- Message on your Yearly Challenge letting you know if you are ahead or behind on your goal
- Streaks! & editing past reading progress (click the streak widget to edit and view historical progress)
- Navigation changes on app: Profile is it's own tab where More menu used to be. The More menu is now on the top left next to the Pagebound logo
- Block & Report users from the profile page
- Reading progress bar added to the Book Page for currently reading books
Right now we are working on a huge, exciting project: Format tracking, stats, and monthly wrapups. Goal is to have this out in the next month!
You can always check the Roadmap to see what we're working on. If you want to support the continued development of Pagebound and add feature requests to the roadmap, please consider joining Pagebound Royalty (crown icon in the navbar)! Our Royalty members make it possible for us to provide a high quality, ad-free experience for all 🙏
Happy Reading, Jennifer & Lucy
