Minerva is a reading log you share with your friends. Log the days you read, rate and review the books you finish, and see what your friends thought of the same books. Log your reading - Log pages, minutes, or a percentage in a couple of taps, or just mark that you read today. - Scan a barcode to add a book. - If you read with KOReader on a Kobo or PocketBook, connect it once and Minerva logs your reading days for you. - Put the book you're reading on your home screen with a widget. - Turn on a daily reminder if you want one. Look back - See your year: how many books, pages, and days you read, and your longest streak. - Read a book again and it gets its own entry, with its own dates. - Open an author to see which of their books you've read and how you rated them. - On the 1st of each month, flip through a few cards about the month before, and share any of them as a picture. Friends - Follow people you know and see what they finish and what they think of it. - See which books you and a friend agree on, and which you don't. - Recommend a book to a friend. Book clubs - Start a club, choose books by vote or by turns, and compare ratings when everyone finishes. Import - Bring your history from Goodreads or StoryGraph. Buy a copy - Tap a book's title to find it on Bookshop.org, which supports independent bookstores. Minerva earns a commission. Only readers you let follow you can see your shelf. Nobody else can see your reading log.
