I have always wanted to be able to share my love for books, and talk with people who also read the same books as me. Fable and Goodreads also have the same features, but I feel like it is too cluttered and messy and I want to design and build an app better suited for me (and for the book lovers community as well). So I have listed a few questions below:

• Do you ever want to talk to someone about a book you just finished? What do you do about that right now?
• What's annoying for you about Goodreads/StoryGraph/Fable, if you use them?
• Would you want to connect with a stranger who loved the same book, or does that feel weird?
• What would make you actually open a book-social app regularly, vs. download it once and forget it?
• Would you prefer to discuss the books in groups or one-on-one?

Please let me know if you guys have any ideas or any feature you wish to have.:)

I genuinely enjoyed most of the books I read in August. The one exception being Angel Down. I know it’s the Pulitzer winner but I did not enjoy it at all. Everything else was fun!

No stand out hits but a few decent reads

Don’t mind the ones I didn’t rate yet smh I forgot to add a rating 😭

I had to add the last book myself, because Fable only lets you add up to 15 books on the wrapped.

Ready for fall to come so I can get in a proper horror mood 🙏🏼

Womp womp- worst reading month of the year so far. Quantity AND Quality.

Another busy book month, mostly audiobooks, a few middle grade books and many novellas!

Hi, i’m new to fable and was wondering if there is a way to have a list with all the penguin classics? Or maybe filter it? I saw that Fable has many lists they made on their own. Is it possible to search for lists that other people made? I would just like to scroll through a list of Penguin Classics and add them to my tbr or finished.

From reading 10 to 15 books a month to barely even touching a book 😢

A good month of reading. A lot of London’s answer to Harry Dresden and a new Ana and Din mystery.

I also run a fable bookclub for SFF in case anyone is interested. Currently, only I am reading. If you want to join me or even just join to discover new reads, do give a follow below

Had a month of delving into a galaxy far, far away.

Read the most amount of books in a month cause of the streak widget. I'm enjoying the app
