Since we're all divesting from our billionaire overlords... what a great time to switch from Goodreads to indie-owned (+ much cuter, cooler, social) Pagebound?

TikTok: “you have 2 seconds to hook me”

Bluesky: “you have 300 characters”

Pagebound: “just talk about books and throw away this hook nonsense, and I’m there”

On Black Friday weekend, you CAN in fact:

- Buy nothing
- Donate to charity
- Support your favorite indie businesses so they can continue to exist 💕

If that's Pagebound 🥹 you can make a one-time contribution or a $10/month commitment by clicking the crown icon in the Pagebound app/web nav bar 💐

Since I keep talking about @pagebound.bsky.social on here I sat down this morning to highlight what I think is special about the site. Spoiler: it's mostly just a really lovely community of book lovers 🙂‍↕️

How to always have an answer for “what did you think of that book?” #booksky

Pagebound keeps track of your Book Journey: from when you started reading to all of the posts & comments you made in the book forum, your progress updates, and your review.

Well hello @pagebound.bsky.social I just joined your lovely community✨️ I love how the app has an old forum feel and that it focuses more on community discussion and critical thinking than passive tracking and achievement hoarding! I'll obsess over this over winter❄️ #pagebound #booksky

You can now mute books in your home feed! There’s also a new “owned” toggle, “interested” reading status for those with overwhelming TBRs, and a section on Discuss to view book status updates from your followers! update your app to see these new features 😉

hii we’re the women behind this upstart book app taking on Goodreads (owned by Amazon, bleh) & yes you know we’re indie and humans because we literally turned our pets into avatars you can choose when you create your pagebound profile 😂

we ignored all the rules of social media to build our social reading tracker:

- no timestamps on posts/comments—discussions about books are timeless
- no algo, so clout and drama don't win by default
- no AI; we're 100% human

New feature 🎉 Track your reading progress (app update required): you can now track page or % read without making a post to the book forum. Your progress is saved for stats (coming soon!) & gets sent to your followers. Add a comment to the progress update from your profile!

We’ve submitted for app store approvals! And we’ve rolled out our rebrand to web!

Since our app & website design are sisters, not twins, this new logo ties both together. Shout out to illustrator Mariam Chagelishvili for bringing our new 3D PB icon to life ❤️
