“Wrap up” the books you read each month in one easy, shareable image, complete with personal ratings and progress on your reading challenge. Save your wrap-ups to look back on at the end of the year or share with friends. Then get back to reading! New wrap-ups become available the last week of each month and stay open one week into the next month. Note: To generate your wrap-up, the app automatically pulls the current month’s reads from your Goodreads or StoryGraph accounts. At this time, Reading Wrap-Up is not able to generate wrap-ups for other book logging apps.

Finding books by Black authors shouldn’t be a challenge. So we built Blackauthored—a space designed to help you discover, track, and obsess over your next read. Because finding one good Black-authored read often leads to needing ten more, Blackauthored helps you: - Filter by genres, tropes, spice level and more to find exactly the kind of mess you’re craving - Track books by Black authors that you want to read, are currently reading, have read, or did not finish. - Explore community-made lists with oddly-specific recommendations that hit the spot - Discover authors’ catalogs in their recommended reading order because accidentally starting with book 4 is stressful enough - Rate your reads with decimal precision because sometimes a book is a 4.5, not a 5 - Stay on top of your reading goals and streaks while pretending you’ve got your TBR under control. - Become mutuals with readers who put you onto hidden gems before the hype catches on.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Blackauthored at every 3 days against Reading Wrap's every 6 weeks. Reading Wrap's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (117 vs 13). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Reading Wrap holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reading Wrap has 117 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Reading Wrap's written reviews are positive against 75% of Blackauthored's.
Reading Wrap ships an update every 6 weeks, Blackauthored every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
