Social reading app Bookie is all about community. Discover the titles that everyone’s talking about, then add them to your reading list to build a streak and reach your reading goals, all among like-minded book lovers.

What we love: Categorising our books by tropes, and finding new titles for the tropes that excite us – be it Opposites Attract or Slow Burn, or beloved classics such as Redemption Arc and Locked Room Mystery. Navigate to the bottom of a book page to pick from a list of suggestions across a huge range of genres.

Quick tip: Bookie highlights recommendations from its users. To get the best ones, join a book club, follow an author or look for fellow readers who share your tastes. You’ll also spot recommendations from the community atop the feed in a story-style format. To participate, share your thoughts on a particular title or a quote from your favourite book.

Meet the creator: Siblings Lukas and Marie Hoffmann had the idea for Bookie during the Covid-19 pandemic and went on to make it a reality in 2023. They both care about building communities and strongly believe that books connect people – hence the big focus on social features in their app.
