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.
Community
See what others are reading, explore their notes and lists, and save your favorites for future inspiration. (More features coming soon!)

Banned Books List
There should be no such thing as banned books. But since there are, we think these should be on your reading list. For an even wider selection, drop by our store in West Seattle!
Spookily Ever After
Spooky season reads from cozy to spicy romance

Stop Scrolling, Start a Series
The average person in the United States spends over 2 hours a day scrolling through social media. The algorithms are designed to be addictive. But one way to break an unhealthy habit is to replace it with something that's better for you. May we introduce to you: book series
This list is comprised of the first books in a series. Yes, by reading these books, you may develop another time-consuming habit. Even if you get hooked, we expect you'll still feel better about spending your time flipping through these pages, instead of staring at a screen.

Mmm... Brains!
Despite the spooky season, this isn't actually a book list about brain-eating zombies. These books explore how the brain works (and when it doesn't) and what that tells us about our own sense of self. Are we really who we think we are?
