Tales is your cozy corner of the reading world. It's a soft, welcoming space where your books, your thoughts, and your community all live together. Build a cozy bookshelf filled with the stories you’ve finished, the ones you’re savoring, and the titles waiting patiently on your TBR. Set gentle reading goals, keep track of your reading streak, and watch your reading life bloom.
Share your favorite reads, recommendations, and bookish moments through the Tales feed, a friendly community space made just for readers. Tag books in your posts so your followers can easily add them to their own shelves, or send a personal recommendation straight to a friend when a story reminds you of them.
Feeling adventurous? Tap the little globe on your shelf to try Blind Date With a Book, where you discover a surprise read wrapped in mystery and vibes.
Join or create a clubs to connect with readers nearby or across the country. Chat through threaded discussions, track your club’s reads, and enjoy the feeling of reading together — even when you’re apart. You can also directly message friends for one‑on‑one conversations.
When you finish a book, reflect on it your way. Give it a simple star rating or dive deeper with optional details like feelings, spice level, trigger warnings, and tags.
Tales is more than a tracker, it’s a cozy home for your reading life, built for connection, discovery, and the simple joy of books.
We've added several new features to this version!
We now have a widget! Update your streak and see your current read right on your home page.
Multiple pictures or videos for your posts!
We also have a new public bookclub. Take a look, our first book will take us to Golden, CO in Theo of Golden. Feel free to join the conversation!
We've also fixed multiple bugs so the app runs more smoothly.
Happy reading!
