Such a cute way to keep track of my read, and waiting to be read, books all in one place so I’m not accidentally picking up a duplicate by mistake. Plus it’s just a fun way to log my book collection!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

I finally got all my books scanned in today. I LOVE that I can choose what type of book I have (kindle, physical, audio etc) and love that it has cute themes! Also love how easy it was to scan it all in!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2026-07-12*

Love this app!  
I can organize my book by genre and by the ones I’ve read and ones I haven’t read yet. 
My old brain forgets things so if I’m in a bookstore I can scan the book barcodes and it will tell me whether or not I’ve previously read or purchased the book.  
Great app

### 5/5 — Everything I wanted

*2026-07-09*
