Much like Santa, we've been busy all year putting together a range of new features to make your time on Home that much more enjoyable.
We listened to your comments, gathered up the team, and went back to our workshop to build some treats for you. But we were just too excited to share them, so we released them throughout the year instead of making you wait for the holiday season. So let's take this moment at the end of the year to look back on the new and improved Home.
Top 10 list
Miss out on a trend? As if! You're the type of reader that likes to be on top of things. You know the stories that everyone's talking about or the stories that they should be talking about. You love knowing what everyone else is reading and whether there's anything new you can add to your Library. Sound familiar?
Then the Top 10 List* is the place for you. It's a collection of the most popular and trending reads in your country — all in real time. With this list, you'll get multiple opportunities each day to know what stories have got readers in your area hooked.
* Currently only available in the U.S., U.K., Philippines, Canada, and India — and expanding to more countries soon!
