  • 2 suggestions (or questions if the feature is already there)

    1. Is there a way to just update your reading by page without having to post a comment in the forum? I only want to note down my progress and not necessarily start a discussion. 2. Please have a "set to today" option in the review box in the finish date thing. Its so convenient. GREAT WEBSITE BTW i lurrveee itā¤ļøšŸ„°

  • Editing/adding reviews?

    I’m new to this site and have only been on this a few days, can someone tell me how to add a review? I did a star rating and planned to go back in later with words, but I can’t figure out how to. Is it possible to add/edit reviews or once you put in the stars can you not?

    It just occurred to me that Graham Gore was a real person. I thought she just made him up! I'm not sure if I'm going to continue reading cause realizing I've stumbled upon fanfiction over a dead guy is a little ick.

  • is there a way to make private posts for a book you're reading?

    hi! i'm a newcomer to pagebound and i'm so excited to have found it, it's exactly what i was looking for from a book tracker. i love taking notes while i read but i'm such a yapper that i'll often have like 20 to 30 individual notes from a single book. i don't wanna spam the community and take up everyone's feed so i was wondering if private posts are/will be available? or a way to limit them to friends only? thanks, my loves!

  • Feedback on home page

    Hi! I LOVE this product so far. Honestly so so cool and exactly what I’ve been looking for outside of Goodreads. Not sure if this is just me but I would love my home page to look different (at least on the mobile, I haven’t looked at the desktop in a second). I’d love to be able to filter what kinds of updates I see. For example, I don’t really care about comment updates or updates from folks other than my followers. Second, I would love to see my reading goal right on the home page and where I’m at! If these are already features and I missed it, I apologize. Just a few thoughts. Great work!!

  • Blocking feature?

    I feel so bad asking this, but I do think it's relevant as the platform grows (which I want it to! That's amazing). Is there going to be some sort of way to block/hide users so we don't see their posts? Or maybe even an option to hide certain discussion posts so we don't need to keep seeing them pop up on our feed? Block isn't necessarily what I mean, it's just the default I think that people use. I'd just like to be able to hide things I don't want to see. Like for example, I think no one's opinions about a book or series are wrong. They're absolutely allowed and valid, and right for the person. They're allowed to hate books I love. I think it's really only a problem if you're going out of your way to tell someone who loves a series how much you hate it. But that said, I don't necessarily want to keep seeing a post hating on something I really love pop up on my updates feed, you know?

    Well! Let’s start with the good: - quick read - something ridiculous/intriguing happens nearly every chapter, making you want to read juuuust one more - did not guess the twists The bad: - our protagonist is a cunning brilliant con woman but I picked up on things way quicker than she did - plot. holes. And the weird thing is, the author tries to acknowledge a lot of them, but the explanations still don’t add up. - lots of unrealistic / unbelievable behavior - characters are flat, and some backstory is attempted to flesh them out, but it feels forced (honestly skimmed passages about backstory, ultimately was irrelevant and dragged) Fun and quick if you can suspend disbelief like a pro!

  • funny/witty book recommendations?

    I'm looking for recommendations of books that are funny, witty, or have a unique and clever writing style. I'm especially looking for adult fiction (though memoirs and etc. are good too), and specifically books with female protagonists and/or non-white leads. They don't have to be Comedy books either, just ones that are entertaining and put you in a reading flow state :-)
