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.

Banned Books List
There should be no such thing as banned books. But since there are, we think these should be on your reading list. For an even wider selection, drop by our store in West Seattle!
Spookily Ever After
Spooky season reads from cozy to spicy romance
From addabook_admin
For a Better Tomorrow
Amongst these titles, you'll find:
- Inspiring stories of resisting tyrannic governments
- Communities coming together in times of need
- Persistent, relentless showing up for civil rights and justice
- Guidance on what makes for effective, sustainable resistance movements
- Hope that a better tomorrow is within reach if we fight for it

Mmm... Brains!
Despite the spooky season, this isn't actually a book list about brain-eating zombies. These books explore how the brain works (and when it doesn't) and what that tells us about our own sense of self. Are we really who we think we are?

Dungeon Crawler Carl

Slow start. Funny with underlying deeper theme. Ending was too abrupt. Want to read next in series.
