Nº 04 — A shelf, not a spreadsheet

This is not a reading tracker.

No page counts. No yearly goals. No streaks to keep alive. Just the books you're longing to read and the ones that stayed with you — arranged the way you'd arrange a real shelf, and lovely enough to show people.

Nº 05 — Overheard in the stacks

I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.

— Jorge Luis Borges

Nº 06 — Questions

Questions, answered.

What is bookish.world?

bookish.world is a free virtual bookshelf. You keep two shelves — To Be Read and Read — arrange them by hand, decorate them with doodles, and share the whole library at one link.

Is it a reading tracker?

No. There are no page counts, reading goals, streaks or challenges. It's a bookshelf you curate and show off: the books calling your name, and the ones you've loved.

How do I add books to my TBR list?

Search by title, author or ISBN across Open Library, Google Books and Apple Books, paste a link from Goodreads, StoryGraph, Amazon or Bookshop.org, or upload a photo of your own copy.

How do I share my bookshelf?

Every library has its own address, like bookish.world/u/yourname. Put it in your bio on BookTok, Bookstagram or anywhere else, and anyone can browse your shelves.

Is bookish.world free?

Yes. Sign in with Google and your bookshelf is ready in under a minute. No ads, no algorithm.
