Book Nook is a home for your reading life. Keep your books on a shelf you can see, time your reading, and read alongside other people. YOUR BOOKSHELF Add a book by scanning its barcode, searching by title, author or ISBN, or typing it in by hand. Each book lands on a shelf you arrange yourself. Pick one of five shelf themes or build your own, and add lamps and plants. If a book has no cover, take a photo of it and share that cover with other readers. READING TIMER Start a session from any book. The timer stays on your Lock Screen while you read. When you stop, log your pages and the session counts toward your daily goal and your streak. STATS AND READING WRAPPED See your books, pages, hours, pace and streaks by week, month and year. Reading Wrapped turns your year into a summary you can share. READING CHALLENGES Set a goal for the year and watch a shelf of spines fill in as you finish books. Join a public challenge or start your own, counted in books, pages or hours, with a leaderboard for everyone who joins. BOOK CLUBS AND READING CIRCLES Start a book club around one book, in public or only for friends you invite. Each club has its own discussion, and spoilers stay hidden until you finish the book. Reading circles are for readers who want a place to talk without a set book. Every book's page shows the public clubs reading it. FEED AND FRIENDS Follow other readers. Post what you are reading, with a photo if you like. See what your friends start and finish, and add a book from their shelf to yours in one tap. RATINGS AND REVIEWS Rate in quarter stars, so a 4.25 is a 4.25. Write a review, mark it for spoilers, and read what other readers thought. FIND YOUR NEXT BOOK Browse by genre, see the current New York Times fiction bestsellers, and get recommendations based on your shelf. YOUR DATA Your library is saved on your phone first and synced to your account, so it is on every device you sign in on. Choose what other readers see: your stats, your shelf, your recent activity, or single books. Export your library as a file at any time. Book Nook is free, with no ads and no subscription. Book Nook is made by one person. Bug reports and feature requests are welcome at support@trybooknook.com.
