What's up in Worm World

Your favorites shelf now lives on your profile

In an effort to make your profile more personal, we've added a favorites shelf. Add your favorite books and order them so your top 5 show up when people view your profile. That being said, you can have unlimited favs–abundance mindset baby. If you already had a public favorites shelf that you made yourself, we automatically migrated that to the new look. If we missed it (maybe you called it something else), email us back here and we'll get it moved over.

You can now see your books by year

Just tap into a shelf and the books now show by year (thanks to @wormsfromhome for suggesting this feature).

Don't see these features? You may need to update your app. To be sure you've always got the latest and greatest version of Bookworm, enable automatic app updates: - on iOS: go to Settings > App Store > under "Automatic Downloads" turn on App Updates- on Android: go to the Bookworm Play store page > tap the menu on the top right (three vertical dots) > check "enable auto update"

Chat with us on Geneva

Until we have the bandwidth to build chat into the app, we're hosting our community chat on Geneva. Check it out here. Geneva is an "organized group chat"--think Discord but prettier. It's accessible on mobile and web. Come hang and say hi. We talk about what we're reading, the app, memes, etc.

Bookworm Bookmarks and Sticker Packs are back!!

Get yours now!

Help Maintain Bookworm's Library

Announcing Bookworm Librarians

We're looking for folks to volunteer their time to help us maintain our book data! Bookworm librarians do the job of cleaning all the information about all the books in our library. That sounds like a lot but it's actually low-key, all asynchronous and online work. If you love being right, this is for you. Sign up here.
