Book League is the most fun way to start and stick with a daily reading habit on the first social reading tracker. * Track your reads: Track each time you read to see your progress. * Cheer your friends: See what your friends are reading. Support their progress, discuss, and discover new books based on their reviews and recommendations. * Get competitive or collaborative: Bring your friends or book club online and see who’s the ultimate bookworm. Create your own literary community. * See your stats: How much have you read this week? This month? All time? We’ve got you covered! * Your Own Library: Track the books you’re reading, want to read, and have finished. * Take Notes: Seamlessly add notes during reading sessions for you to review later. Book League was created to help promote reading in a world filled with technological distractions. Americans spend an average of 4 hours a day watching TV and another 5.4 hours a day mindlessly trolling on their phone. Unbelievably, they only spend an average of 16 minutes a day reading! TV, surfing the internet, and trolling social media are passive activities that actually have negative consequences to your overall well-being. Everyone knows that physical fitness is important to your health, but many disregard mental fitness and its many benefits to your mind, body, and soul. What your brain consumes is very important and reading is the ultimate mental workout. Think of Book League as a social fitness tracker for your brain. Benefits of Reading: * Relieves stress and depression * Improves memory and overall brain function * Slows down cognitive decline * Increases Empathy * Increases vocabulary and spelling ability * Improves writing skills * Increases attention span * Increases lifespan * And many many more! Not only does Book League promote reading, which in turn has all of these benefits, but it also provides a safe and positive literary community full of users with similar goals to yours. So whether you’re an avid reader looking to up your game or someone who is looking to revive or start a reading habit; come join Book League and help us create something special.
