Addabook
Read, Reflect, Connect
Addabook is a dedicated space designed for readers to reflect on, track, and organize their books while supporting independent bookstores and fostering community connection.
Discover
Explore books to find interesting reads, not just what’s trending or generated from some algorithm.
Collection
Build a personal Collection of what you've read. Add a book to your Collection by adding a rating or a Note. Here you can track your total book and page counts and easily search through all your books, by date read, rating, custom tags, and more.
Lists
Go beyond your Wishlist (aka TBR) by creating and sharing custom lists for any mood, theme, or goal. You can take notes on individual books and track your reading progress within each list.
Notes
Capture your reading experience with notes and custom tags, without being forced into a star rating. Keep notes private or share them with the community.
No Distractions
No distracting pop-up ads cluttering your view and no comments threads – providing a focused experienced and judgment-free zone for you to write your reflections in peace.
Partnerships
We collaborate with book clubs, bookstores, and nonprofits to showcase their lists and to help promote a vibrant reading culture. Get in touch to explore partnership opportunities.
Community
See what others are reading, explore their notes and lists, and save your favorites for future inspiration. (More features coming soon!)
Support Independent Bookstores
Purchases made through our Bookshop.org links support independent bookstores and help keep this site running at no extra cost to you.
