If you enjoy using the app...

..please leave us a review on the App Store or Play Store!

Y'see, when we have periods of downtime due to a surge in users, we tend to get an influx of reviews that look like this:

And even after all of the issues have been resolved, these reviews and ratings are often never updated... 🥲

And down goes our average rating... 😭

So, yeah...if you've enjoyed using the app, a review in your respective app store would go a long way! 🙏🏾

Thank you so much!

Since last time...

Since the new types of reading challenges and book clubs aren't done, I figured I'd tease a lil' something from each new feature!

First up, for book clubs, you'll be able to add images to your club's About/Welcome page, as well as add images to your meeting agendas (which will be great for in-person and virtual meetings alike)!

We'll see how this goes and maybe give everyone the ability to add images in other places in the app!

For book-specific reading challenges, we've got a sweet lil' modal for you to see any extra notes a host may add to a specific prompt:

Rob and I did more planning towards our upcoming database re-architecture and I automated away a particular error case during Goodreads Imports that previously meant myself or Abbie had to send an email to the user in question!

We also went live on Instagram last night for our quarterly Founder Q&A! 😁 

Next two weeks

Hopefully I'll be finishing up all of my outstanding work and getting back to the Plus Advanced Stats transition! 🤞🏾

What I'm reading

I'm reading the debut novel of StoryGraph's earliest user (outside of myself and my mum, we don't count), Erica Dansereau. Even better, I'm reading Come Forth As Gold as part of a StoryGraph readalong, hosted by Erica herself! 😍

Have a great week,

Nadia
