  • Product Updates + New App Version [2/5/2026]

    Hi everyone, we've just released a big app update with many quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and some new features. These are all available on web as well. Please make sure your apps are updated to the latest version, 1.1.1, to see these changes! As a reminder, you can check out what we're working on and what's coming up next via the public roadmap (in the footer on web, in the more menu on the app)

    Here's a list of updates:

    • New Main Quest badge tiers, now viewable on the app
    • ability to pin comments to your own posts, lists, and activity
    • improved search on app: UI enhancements to make searching for things that are not books easier, removed the auto-populated most searched books from the search widget
    • ability to track your progress in Time for audiobooks (HH:MM)
    • progress bar / breakdown by status added to Plan
    • estimated page count added to book page
    • you can enlarge a book cover on the book screen by tapping the book cover
    • rereading button (when you go to track a reread, the button says re-reading instead of reading)
    • sort reviews by star rating
    • filter options on Book Journey
    • new search, filter, and sort options on Browse All Lists and Browse All Quests screens
    • see more info about your followers and users you follow in the following/followers modals
    • changed the button on the home feed "currently reading" books from "post in forum" to "go to forum" for easier access to the forum + encouraging folks to check existing posts!

    We're working on monthly wrapups, reading streaks, and some prep for more stats next! We will also be making some additional enhancements to Quests (like: a book recommendations section similar to the Community Recs on book pages, stats for how many users earned each badge tier, and a feed tab like the new feed tab on book pages)

    Thanks everyone and happy reading, Jennifer + Lucy

    Weekly/Monthly Reading Reports

    Would love to see a weekly or monthly stats report that we could share! Like the 2025 recap we got. I like posting those types of things on my Instagram story, so being able to save it as a graphic or something would be great

    Holy molly Tara girl, I need you to help yourself a little. Charles and her roommate are doing so much for her, but at some point, she has to realize that she has to let go of her family.

    No one can save her except herself.

    I have mixed feelings about Tyler

    Also, I was disgusted by her lack of showering and basic hygiene.

    Unfortunately this was not for me. The writing itself wasn't hitting the mark - the perspectives were executed weirdly especially in the first person POVs, and the tension wasn't effective because I never really felt on the edge of my seat, more just impatient to get through it. As to the plot, I'd guessed the primary twists so the reveals felt underwhelming, and other pieces that had been set up either as red herrings or to build intrigue were either abandoned as loose threads or just explained in unsatisfying ways. I also don't really understand what that last chapter was supposed to do for us? Adams prosopagnosia was also not really well done in my opinion, and I don't understand the purpose of the whole rock paper scissors aspect of it all?

    “i want to make romeo jealous. i want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter and grow sad. i want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain. my god, harry, how i worship her!"

    if this wasn’t such a red flag, i’d lowkey be giggling and kicking my feet right now

    This is when the story really started for me, I feel like the first 3 chapters were more foreshadowing than storytelling, but now I am hooked The symbolism and the references are more abundant and clear, I am very curious about the characters

    Things are going tooooo well. The little allusions and hints to her past aren’t really enticing me, I don’t love the breadcrumb style clues.
