A book tracker that celebrates what it means to be a reader.
Our mission is to help people have deeper, more satisfying reading experiences — a book tracker, but for joy. It's all the stuff readers want and nothing they don't. With best-in-class design and not an ad in sight.

Discover
An easier way to find and add books
Search for books to read or get inspiration from what our staff and community are reading.
Track
Track books and why you want to read them
When you add a book to your Queue, jot down a note about who recommended it or why you're interested - so when the library hold comes in three months from now, you're not wondering, "Why'd I want to read about seventh-century monks again?" (True story.)
Engage
A personal reading journal
Each book you read gets its own Board, a private space where you can record quotes, passages, and ideas that speak to you. No more storing photos on your phone, scribbling notes in margins, and jotting down thoughts in different notebooks. Keep your entire "book brain" in one place.
Share
Book recommendations with friends
So you've reached the end of a book you loved. The story doesn't have to end there! Hit Recommend, add a personal note, and voila: bookish goodness straight to your friends inbox. (And you'll get notified when they start reading, so you can talk about it together.)
Discuss
A better book club for readers everywhere
Invite friends to read the same book at the same time for a shared experience that's not limited by geography or schedule - or as an easy way to start the conversation before you meet and keep it going it afterwards.
