How your reading stays private
What your reading partner can see, and when.
The anonymous community shelf
Our homepage may feature catalogue books found in at least five reading spaces created by different readers. We share book titles, authors and covers only, without names, exact reader counts, notes or room links. Archived spaces and manually entered books are excluded. The shelf refreshes approximately hourly.
Your thoughts open together
A sealed thought stays hidden from your reading partner until you’ve both reached that chapter and each left a thought. Accepting an invitation alone does not open it.
Keep your invitation personal
Your notes are not published on a public profile or feed. Send a book invitation directly to the person you want to read with: someone with an active link can use it to join.
Protect your sign-in
Keep your email sign-in code to yourself, and sign out when using a shared device.
