A book recommendation app for the deeply personal, idiosyncratic reasons you love to read
If You’re Still Book-Hungover From Station Eleven
Beautifully written + hauntingly provocative speculative fiction.
What does a 3-star book recommendation even mean, anyway?
If we know anything at all about readers, it's that we're not drawn to the average. Italic Type is a book recommendation app for people who lean in when they start talking about a book. We're here for the three-hour defense of a character's intentions, the actual gasp when you find out people loved a book you couldn't stand, the silent calculus of deciding whether to recommend a particularly spicy book to a new friend.
We're not here to help you find fine books. We're here to help you find your next favorite book — and then recommend it to everyone else who may need it.
