As it\u2019s National Book Lover\u2019s Day, there are new updates to one of the apps mentioned \u2013 Fable. Fable is a combination of a reading app and social media where you can see updates from other readers including opinions that they have on your previously read and want to read books.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recent updates include having your reading streak and progress update bar on the homepage for easy access. Additionally, Fable is now branching out from books with the option to mark your progress and join clubs for TV shows meaning you can watch episodes and discuss your favourite shows with other fans. Fable is also currently testing a new AI chatbot called Scout where you input prompts for suggestions and recommendations for your next reads based on tropes and genres or if you\u2019re looking for something similar to another read.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main new feature is the stats page. Under your user profile, there is now a reader summary, a little AI summary which automatically updates after every read. Within this there is also a graph of the books you have read this year with a reader insight into when you\u2019re due to reach your reading goal. Along with the reading streak widget on the homepage, you can view how much you read in previous months including your longest reading streak. You can also view a graph with your most read genres and underneath this you can see your average rating of books you have read.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"2778\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3659\" data-id=\"3659\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_8554.jpeg\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"757\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3660\" data-id=\"3660\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_8555.jpeg\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"2778\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3661\" data-id=\"3661\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_8556.jpeg\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"740\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3662\" data-id=\"3662\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_8557.jpeg\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1230\" height=\"531\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3658\" data-id=\"3658\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_7909.jpeg\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">Screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1867\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3663\" data-id=\"3663\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_8558.jpeg\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"1423\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-3664\" data-id=\"3664\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.aber.ac.uk\/digital-capabilities\/files\/2024\/07\/IMG_8559.jpeg\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogpost by Sh\u00e2n Saunders (Digital Capabilities and Skills Development Coordinator) In February we wrote a blogpost about apps to help with your reading habits.
