Bookworm is a community-oriented, mobile-first alternative to Goodreads. Organize your books into shelves (finished, want to read, etc.), see what your friends are reading, recommend books to friends, and of course rate, review, and discuss books.
@ameliagoodman i have a new feature idea: i want to see an average rating of books based on my friends' ratings. i dont like in goodreads how every book has like 3.5 stars. but if i could see an average rating from my bookworm friends, i'd trust that way more
@pedrodlp I love that idea! Totally agree about the average rating not always being useful/helpful. but I can see why you'd want to see your friends' ratings. i'll put that in my to-do list and let you know when it launches ☺️
I LOVE BOOKWORM !! This app is an absolute delight, and it brings me so much joy every time I'm on it. It 100000% encourages me to read more (and I've heard other people say this too !!). I've found some of my favorite books by seeing what my friends have loved reading, and I love feeling like I'm in a community of wonderful readers !! Can not recommend this more, truly.
@julia_dressel BOOKWORM LOVES YOU!!! I love hearing that you're reading more because of bookworm, what a dream come true! And hey, free shipping today and tomorrow on all books bought through the app!
hi friends,
I’m Amelia and I am a BIG reader. For years, I've wanted a better Goodreads, but could never find any alternatives that I really liked. So I decided to build it! Over the past year, I've built Bookworm Reads all by myself.
Bookworm is a friendly, beautiful, and Amazon-free way to track your books, connect with reader friends, and find your next read. Several beta users have said it is the “most delightful app” on their phone *blush*
Some Hot Bookworm Features Include:
📈 Track & categorize your books into bookshelves
📚 Create your own custom bookshelves to organize your books how you want
🏆 Join community reading challenges: set a goal for yourself and get that dopamine hit every time you finish a book
💖 Recommend books to friends (and get notified when they read your suggestion!)
🔎 Search from every book ever published
💾 Import your library from Goodreads or Storygraph
🪲 Make new wormy friends
And last, and arguably the best...

Coming up:
🎁 Wormy Wrap Up (like spotify wrapped but for your books)
Book questions for you: how do you currently track your books? How do you find books you want to read?
Tech question for you: Any good tools or tutorials to build a newsfeed algorithm? Currently, bookworm shows all posts chronologically. The only tool I could find is getstream.io, which looked promising but I couldn’t get it to do exactly what I wanted. So now I’m working on building it myself... Would love any and all input.
Add me @meelworm; I can’t wait to see what you’re reading!
