Somehow it escaped me that I only need to read one for the badge but I’m sure others will read more than one?

One month’s not that much time, though, so Idk how many I’ll manage. I’m almost done with Midnight Robber and I’m not sure if I want to do Black Cake or Perilous Graves next.

What about you, friends? How many have you read and how many do you plan to read? How did you decide?

Hi fellow Pagebounders! I’m wondering how many of you use multiple apps to track your reading.

For example, I actively use Pagebound, Goodreads, and Storygraph. I formerly used Fable too but stopped due to the bigoted and racist AI issues that came up.

I’m trying to move away from Goodreads because it’s tied to Amazon but still use it to log reading since that’s where the majority of my friends are active with tracking their reading.

I use Storygraph primarily for the reading streak but also because it’s useful for looking up trigger/content warnings for books I’m interested in. Storygraph also has the buddy reads, readalong, and book club features which look cool though I’ve barely used them myself.

I’ve recently become most active on PB because I love the community on here and being able to interact with everyone! I’m really enjoying the way PB is structured and how it continues to develop too!

I also like seeing the varied stats and wrap-ups on all the different platforms!

Do you use multiple reading tracker apps and, if so, is there a difference in how/why you use each? What makes you continue using more than one?

Thanks in advance for your responses and sorry for the long post! I’m just curious to know 😊 💭💜

Hi I have some questions about the badges. Hopefully someone can help me out 🫶

1. Can you earn badges from past readalongs? (I’m assuming no)
2. I saw on someone’s page that they earn a badge from carnival 2026, I was wondering how that is possible.
3. I have the badge for the winter readalong (for 1 book so not the sparkly one, can I show this on my profile or do I need the sparkly one?)

Thanks so much in advance!

I feel like I fell in love with this platform this year because why am I on here every single day?? I haven’t let up once 😭 I swear my phone hate to see me coming at this point

And the way I keep hitting the 5-post limit when I’m reading a book??? I’ll be mid-spiral and suddenly it’s like “no more posts for today” and I’m screaming LET ME INNNN I HAVE MORE TO SAYYY 🤧

AHHHHHH 🗣️

I didn’t expect AI to feature so prominently (especially given that this book came out in 2000!), which definitely intriguing. I am struggling a bit with the dialect this is written in and I wonder if this would be easier for me to follow as an audiobook?

Well, hooked from the very instant with "Stolen Song"...so much so that I started a deep dive and found a link to this essay on the book's language from the author which I think is fascinating and now I am even more excited to read the book!
