To make things even more exciting, there are so many platforms to connect with other readers and engage even more deeply with your books. Below, discover some of the best apps that have transformed the reading experience for the better.
Fable
Fable has undoubtedly become one of the hottest rising apps in the literary world. Aside for tracking and rating the books you read, Fable also allows you to socialize with fellow readers in book clubs and discussion boards. Plus, if you love television as much as books, you can add content from what you are currently watching, too. In the words of Fortune, it is truly "a more thoughtful, less toxic, social media app."
StoryGraph
Do you need help finding the perfect next book to read? The StoryGraph uses machine learning artificial intelligence to analyze your books and provide the best recommendations. You can also search by mood, genre and more to make the best decision. Like the more popular apps, StoryGraph gives you the ability to see what your friends' thoughts on their current reads, too. Oh, and it's also Black-owned!
