The long-awaited feed customization toggles are live both on web and app (please update your apps!!). You can customize the following elements of your home feeds:

• if non-spoiler posts from TBR books show up in your Main and My Books feeds
• if non-spoiler posts from Interested books show up in your Main and My Books feeds
• if Pagebound Club activity from people you follow shows up in your Main and Following feeds

Everyone is default opted-in to each of the above options, so you must manually opt-out if you don't wish to see that content. You can access these toggles from the Preferences menu in Account & Settings (click the gear icon on your profile, or click "Settings & FAQ" from the More menu in the app).

We know folks have strong opinions on if PB Club and TBR/Interested books should be in your feeds, so we're really happy to be able to provide a customized experience for everyone :) If you previously wished to take away TBR/Interested books from your feed for fear of spoilers, we're happy to share that the spoiler toggle is auto-on for all book forum posts and now must be manually toggled off if the post does not contain spoilers. Since we do not show spoiler posts from TBR/Interested books, you can now be more confident that you will not be spoiled. Keeping TBR/Interested posts in your feed can help remind you which books are on those lists, and give you inspiration for which book to pick up next as you see discussions roll in.

A note about Book Forum Posts We've seen a ton of growth since the app launch, and while it's been wonderful to see how lively the forums have gotten, there's also been some unforeseen challenges. We've seen an uptick in people posting dozens of times in a single forum, sometimes dozens of times a day, and have been forced to implement a 5 post per forum per day cap. We never wanted to implement a post cap, and are sad to have to do so now, however the forums are like a public resource that can only stay enjoyable for all if we take care of them and stay community-minded. Abundant low quality posts bloat the forums and make them overwhelming and unenjoyable to navigate. Most folks will never reach this cap; this limit won't affect you if you're using the forums as intended (a place for evergreen discussion), posting thoughtfully, and engaging in the comments on existing posts rather than always making a separate post (reminder: posts and comments are worth the same amount of points because comments are just as essential to quality discussions as posts are!) We have other ideas to improve the forum experience that we will be working on early 2026; our intent is always to preserve both the joy of posting and the joy of reading the forums, so you can expect more fun & positive forum features in the new year.

Readalong Note: The Fall Readalong will end and the Winter Readalong will start on Dec 1st at 12pm CT to give folks in all timezones the full day on Nov 30th to complete the Fall Readalong. You cannot earn the Winter Readalong badge until it officially starts at 12pm!

Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer & Lucy

I don’t have anything intelligent to offer but just want to say I’m loving this book so much so far!! I don’t think I’ve read anything like this and I have a feeling this is gonna be one of my favorite books🥹

I think the pacing is really nice so far. As well as the sprinkling of information you’re getting about Vis’s past. Looking forward to uncovering more.
