  • Starter Pack Vol II just released !

    Hi all, we just released Vol II of the Starter Pack Quests! The Starter Packs are intended to be guided challenges for the genre. Vol I includes a mix of extremely popular titles and books that are considered foundational, for both new readers and readers that are new to the genre. If someone were to say "I wanna get into Romance, where do I start?" Vol I would be the place to start!

    Vol II is for those ready to dive a bit deeper past the blockbuster hits. These books are still popular but you'll find more diverse and niche titles in Vol II (we had a lot more wiggle room without the Vol I constraint of including certain authors and titles that are "cannon" for that genre!)

    Hope you guys enjoy the new Quests :) PS - you can filter for Start Pack quests specifically on the Browse Quest page, and if you want to see just the new Starter Packs, you can sort by Newest

    thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for putting this together. genuinely such a fun, thoughtful list. fantasy readers are being fed today 🄹✨ nomnomnom.

  • How to see someone's reading journey (Solved)

    When I see "Activity from People You Follow" and some of them have DNF'ed the book, I would love to be able to click the map icon from there and see any posts leading up to the decision to DNF. Where is the map icon? I can never seem to find it.

    Do I have to navigate to the person's page and then try to find it?

    Sorry if it's very obvious.

    EDIT: Turns out it doesn't work on the website, only on the app. Insert crying emoji here because I primarily use the website.

    Change auto-populated books in search

    (I’m on the app.) When I go to search for any book, I get a pre-populated list of books. They seem like a most-finished list, maybe? Among them are blockbuster YA books and HP. Seeing those same books over and over implies endorsement (even though I suspect it isn’t). Would it be possible to change the list that populates? Maybe to the books with the most forum posts today so it directs people to the conversation? Or books that show up in the most lists?

    Approved - Will Do āœ…

  • 32 new avatar colors are live!

    We just released 32 new color variants of our current avatars, focusing on increasing the skintone range of our human-like avatars. Some of the more popular avatars, like the ghost, dragon, and alien, have more colors also :) We'll be coming out with more colors and brand new avatars soon!

    Additional tiered badges for Main Quests + book cap

    We will enforce a 100 book cap on Main Quests and introduce additional badge tiers as Quests grow (example: Ruby at 25 books, etc)

    Released šŸš€

    Quest miscounting how many books you have read?

    I've noticed that in quite a few quests, it says that I have read more of the books than I actually have. For example, for the Achillean Across Genres quest, it lists 3 books as having been read, though I've only marked one as finished (this isn't the only quest that seems to do this). Does anyone know why this could be and has this happened to you? It's really confusing. Edit: I haven't been able to find any answers in the FAQ, either

  • New Quests + Reminder on Recs

    Hi everyone! We dropped 5 new quests today, shout out to our Top Contributors who spent so much time curating the lists and reading voraciously in their niche to make sure the quest lists are unique, interesting, and emblematic of the theme!

    We've seen when Quests are launched, the community chimes in with recs and opinions. Definitely have discussions about the list, but want to kindly remind everyone that the TCs put in a ton of work to curate the lists, and Quests are intended to be slow-growing (with mostly new releases; the work of curating backlist titles was done before Quest release).

    Hope everyone enjoys the new Quests, we have some exciting Quest updates to launch very very soon! (new badge tiers....? šŸ‘€)

  • Got a badge but have only read 4 books?

    Not sure if this is the right place but just tell me and I'll remove it.

    Like the title says when I opened PB tonight I had gotten the bronze badge for this quest, I didn't think much of it initially, just assumed some more books that I'd already read must have been added. Curious as to which book that could have been I opened the quest to check. But after double and triple checking I have still only read 4 books.

    It obviously isn't a huge deal, I just feel bad about having a badge I haven't earned, and it is a bit of an odd bug. Has anyone else experienced it?

    Suggestion

    Bad Nature by Ariel Courage would be a good addition. A woman gets diagnosed with cancer and decides with her time left go on a road trip to kill her deadbeat dad

    The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff which involves a woman who is suspected of killing her husband being recruited into killing abusive husbands in their village.

  • Small announcement: New book added to Mardi Gras + Carnival Special Event

    Some of our Caribbean Pagebound community members have expressed disappointment that the Caribbean rep was not up to snuff in the Special Event - one of our community members, Flyingsaucer, kindly gave some recs for books written by 100% Caribbean authors that include Carnival as a theme.

    We've added Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson to the Special Event selection, so if you're looking for something specifically about Carnival and want to support a Caribbean author, please check out this book!
