Book Circles
Community-Powered Reviews
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Create and join communities, add books, leave reviews, and approve community picks — social book discovery with admin-controlled approvals.
Book Circles is a modern platform that brings readers together through shared communities, meaningful discussions, and collaborative book reviews. Whether you enjoy fiction, self-help, or academic titles, Book Circles helps you discover books through the people you trust most — your own reading community.
Join or create reading communities, explore curated book lists, and contribute reviews that help shape each community’s recommended titles. Books can be discovered directly through Google Books integration or proposed manually, making it easier than ever to bring new reads into your communities. Every book goes through a transparent approval process, making community-approved reads more meaningful and reliable.
Create or Join Engaging Communities
Build your own reading space or join communities that match your interests. Follow genres, join friends, or discover new groups that share your reading goals. Communities can be public or private, allowing admins to manage membership and participation.
Collaborative Book Review System
Members can propose books—either by searching through Google Books or by adding them manually—submit reviews, and share opinions. Books can even be proposed while offline and synced once connectivity is restored.
A book becomes “Approved” within a community only when:
It has three unique member reviews, and
A Community Admin provides final approval
This two-step system ensures authenticity and encourages thoughtful engagement.
Clear Book Status for Every Title
Easily track where each book stands:
Pending Review – fewer than three community reviews
Ready for Admin Approval – meets review requirements
Approved – verified and approved by an admin
Built-In Notifications
Stay updated with timely alerts:
Members are notified when a book reaches three reviews
Admins receive prompts when books are ready for approval
Communities are informed when books officially become Approved
