What is everyone's top 3 all time favourite books? Mine are: 🥇- Redeeming 6 by Chloe Walsh 🥈- Betting on you by Lynn Painter 🥉- Write me for you by Tillie Cole

Alright, hypothetical time:

If you were suddenly forced (no prep, no notes, no emotional support water bottle) to give a 30-minute speech on a bookish topic, what would you pick, and how unhinged would it get?

Are you calmly delivering a thoughtful analysis, or are you 12 minutes in yelling about morally grey characters and pacing in trilogies?

I’m deeply curious what everyone's "I could talk about this for way too long" subject is 👀

Hey guysss 👋🏽 ⭐️ For those of you with usernames that the pronunciation is not intuitive or that it’s frequently mispronounced (or for whoever would like to answer this), how do you say your username? :) Mine is literally just what you’d think it is, hahaha.

Hi everyone, we've been quietly releasing new features and quality of life updates over the past month on all platforms, please make sure your app is updated to see the latest improvements!

One of the biggest updates is moderation improvement. We have new tools for both our moderators (who run the PageboundGuide account) and for the community:

• You can now report a post, review, or comment for spoilers
• You can send a post or comment to PBGuide for Content Guideline violations
• Of course, you can still flag a post, comment, review, or user profile for hate speech, harassment, self-promo, etc

PageboundGuides will review all reported content and either:

• add a spoiler tag to posts & reviews
• flag comments with spoilers
• approve flags for posts/reviews/comments/profiles that violate the Terms & Conditions (hate speech etc)
• archive Posts that do not meet the Posting & Content Guidelines

What is archiving? When a post does not meet the Content Guidelines (link here, quick version under Account & Settings -> Posting Guidelines in the app) PBGuide can archive the post from the book forum. The post is hidden from the default forum view but stays on your profile and book journey. You can include archived posts in your forum view by changing the forum filter from "All Posts" to "Include archived posts"

The PBGuides have been working hard behind the scenes to clean up very busy forums (especially the readalong forums). We know this has been a point of frustration for many, and giving everyone the ability to send these posts to PBGuide for review is just one of many ways we will be improving forum quality over the coming months.

Other New Features & Improvements

• Feed filters on your Main Feed and Following feed
• Message on your Yearly Challenge letting you know if you are ahead or behind on your goal
• Streaks! & editing past reading progress (click the streak widget to edit and view historical progress)
• Navigation changes on app: Profile is it's own tab where More menu used to be. The More menu is now on the top left next to the Pagebound logo
• Block & Report users from the profile page
• Reading progress bar added to the Book Page for currently reading books

Right now we are working on a huge, exciting project: Format tracking, stats, and monthly wrapups. Goal is to have this out in the next month!

You can always check the Roadmap to see what we're working on.
