"Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778), the "father of modern taxonomy", actually set back the study of fungi rather than advance it."
If Linnaeus has no haters I am dead.

Hi! I searched and didn't see this, but I apologize if this has already been requested. I definitely agree with a minimum number of books to start a list, but I was wondering if it would be feasible at some point to be able to add more than the initial 5 books to a list before publishing it/making it live and viewable by others.
Typically when I make a list, I have more than 5 books in mind, and (this may be a me problem) while I love getting suggestions of books to add, to my anxious brain, it sometimes feels like a race against the clock to add the books I had in mind to the live list before folks comment suggesting the same ones.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, and I think it is likely too much of a time crunch to be done this year, but I wanted to ask about doing a time limited Trans Rights Readathon badge in the future. This year the Trans-Rights Readathon takes place from March 17-31st.
I was thinking that in the future, if approved, it would be similar to the limited time badge like the current Best of @SimonBooks Quest.
StoryGraph has a challenge for the Trans Rights Readathon with more than 500 participants, so I think that it is likely that there would be demand here for a quest as well. That challenge is curated by the Trans Rights Readathon socials (@transrightsreadathon) and maybe a time limited Quest on PageBound could be too?
For more information on the Trans Rights Readathon here is a link: Trans Rights Readathon

Looking at my Stats section and the badges in it, it doesn't look like there's a reason to how they're ordered. I'm proposing two different potential possibilities for that section:
Apologies if this is actually something that I've missed, but thanks as always for making this app great! 🙂

I'm enjoying the writing but something is keeping me from being fully immersed. It might be too early to tell but overall I think it will disappoint me. Definitely different from what I anticipated. I will give it an honest try and I do find the narration entertaining if not a bit monotone.

I realised I've lucked out in 2026, every book I've read so far has been a 4 or 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 👏 Has anyone else been this lucky? What's been your absolute favourite? I think Golden Son (Red Rising #2) takes the top spot for me.

Literally crafty characters
Sometimes the main character is into fiber arts, sometimes a side character is hand embroidering a jean jacket for her wife. All recs and craft types welcome.

I got selected for my second ever ARC (and my first trad publish ARC) this week and it made me feel SO warm inside! There’s such a special feeling to it.
I have been asked to wait until a specific date to release my review, so I’m going to keep my own ARC title hush hush, but I would love to hear your stories about getting selected for ARCS! How did you feel? Was it a random choice or an author you adore? Do you have the physical copy with that special lil legal text on the top? Tell me everything!

steventoast commented on alienshe's review of Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1)
I liked this book. It was a slow start for me but halfway through I was definitely into it and invested. I wish the author had spent more time explaining the different houses at the beginning, but it didn’t take away from the plot so I was okay with it.
Also, this book made me think about the Epstein files a lot and about how the wealthy get away with so much.
