Track every book. Bookfern learns your taste and finds the next one.

Log what you read, rate it, keep your shelves. The more you track, the better its suggestions get, and you can see what your friends loved.

An example library sorting itself by taste into old stories told again, friends over the years, alone against the odds, and families across generations. The books put down or rated low fade, and Hamnet arrives as the next suggestion.

Next for you: Hamnet. You gave Circe and The Song of Achilles five stars.

Every book you read, kept in order

Every book gets its shelf, your rating, your notes and the date you finished. Covers and descriptions fill in on their own.

It learns what you like

The more you track, the better it knows you. Bookfern reads the signals you already give it:

  • Cover of Circe
    Five stars for Circe
  • Cover of Fourth Wing
    Put down Fourth Wing halfway
  • Cover of Pachinko
    A note on Pachinko: “the family, all of it”
  • Cover of The Midnight Library
    Not for me on a suggestion like The Midnight Library

The Hopeful Skeptic

You like books where people get through hard years with their friendships intact. You'll forgive a slow middle for an ending that earns its hope, and old myths told again are your favourites.

  • Found family
  • Myths retold
  • Surviving alone
  • Friendship over decades

Suggestions that fit, and say why

Each one names the books of yours it comes from. Keep it, save it for later, or say it's not for you, and Bookfern learns from that too.

Maggie O'Farrell
