Private clubs, better book recommendations & small improvements

Hope your New Year is off to a great start! The Literal reading community has really blossomed since launching five months ago and it’s been a joy to see. We’re just getting started - this year we’ll be launching many new features and of course improving the platform we already have today.

Lastly, a big thanks to everyone spreading the message on social media!

Much love,
Piet, Sven, Nathan, Mihai, Abigail, Genesis & Sebastian

Even better book recommendations

At the bottom of every book page you can now find book recommendations based on shelves and clubs the book is part of. Try it out with your favourite book - maybe you’ll find your next read!

What we're working on

🔍️ Did you find yourself searching for a book and seeing the same book twice? We’re working on relaunching our search for faster, better results and less duplicates.

🎯 Our most requested feature, reading goals, is coming soon!
