Updates and Upgrades

Hi Everyone, just a quick update on our progress. We're focusing on a few key things right now:

  1. Fixing up any issues on the existing site, and making things more user-friendly.
  2. Gearing up for new features and upgrades.
  3. Reading your feedback and figuring it into our plans.

(1) This week we'll be making things a little more user-friendly, since we know the site can be a little overwhelming for newcomers! Stay tuned. Also, we have a list of issues to tackle as well -- we're working on it!

(2) New features are on the horizon! -- specifically: Book Organizer + Book Clubs. The Book Organizer will allow you to add new book titles, refine information for existing books, and merge duplicate entries. The Book Clubs feature is going to bring the social experience of reading groups to the web, and we're really excited about it. The clubs feature will take a while to develop, but it'll be worth the wait.

(3) Thanks for everyone's feedback thus far -- including requests to add books, excerpt submissions, sharing ideas, or reporting bugs. When it comes to bugs, we're going to communicate our list of "known issues" so you'll know what we're already aware of. The best way to communicate with us is by using the "Contact" link in our page footer.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the novel that took this series to a whole new level. Not only is it more complicated, dramatic, and suspenseful than the first three, but it is also the found...
