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.

Meaningful Memoirs
These authors don’t just recount what happened in their memoirs; they sit with hard questions and identify the turning points that made them who they are. Sometimes they make us laugh, sometimes the stories hit hard. Either way, there's often a lesson for us all, even in these deeply personal accounts.

The Anti-Hustle Shelf
In the everyday hustle and rush and the always-on digital mentality, it's good to have the reminder that sometimes the best way to be productive is, in fact, to do nothing at all...Yes, this means you have permission to be easy on yourself. Take a nap. Read a book. Breathe.
These books explain why that's important and help guide you on what you can strike from your to-do list so that you can re-connect with what matters the most.
