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

I really want to get into more book series/trilogies, but I'm not sure if I should just pick one and binge read it, or alternate with other books/series.

What's your take on this? Please give me the pros and cons for each option so I can make an informed decision. 😁 Thanks!

Maybe I'm being picky and maybe I've soured on this book already but I hate this style of writing, 'it was a small tree, but still, a whole-ass tree'. I feel like I'm reading someone's Tumblr post when they write like this. It's how I'd text a friend to describe a tree. It dates it so fast, and the whole book has little bits like this. Feels like it lacks its own voice, doesn't really describe anything. The language and internal narrative does not feel like a solarpunk, centuries in the future, wandering monk, it sounds like the internal monologue of someone born in 1997. Send help.
