Other readers can find you by name or username and send a friend request.

Readers can follow you one-way to see what you share. No friend request needed.

Open a page that shows only what you've chosen to share to friends and followers — your reading identity, Reading Paths, monthly letters, year in review, and the Reading Lists you've published.

View my reader page →

Your Reader page but discoverable by the Reading Portrait community. You'll also appear for readers with shelves like yours.

When you move a book to Now Reading, a quiet "beginning [book]" note appears in the Reading Room feed for friends and follows.

When you finish a book and mark it Enjoyed or Not for Me, offer to post that reaction to the feed. Turn off to skip the prompt entirely.

Let visitors to your reader page browse the books on your Collection shelf. Books you set aside (Did Not Finish) are always kept private.

Let visitors to your reader page see the books you've queued up to read next — an invitation for them to read along.

Let your followers and friends see anonymous group averages that include you (books finished this year, pages, nightstand size, top mood tag). Only group totals — never your individual data. Turn off to be excluded from everyone's comparison view.

What we store, who processes it, how long we keep it.

Download your library as a JSON file — every book you've added, with your shelves, reactions, notes, reviews, and reading dates. For a full copy of everything else we hold against your account, email us and we'll send it over.
