This is a keeper, I've been using this app for 6 months now, and is that literary sparkly social media that I dreamed for so long.

@pedrodlp thanks so much! I'm glad you like it!

@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
Amelia Goodman
@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.

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... 🧢 🐛 Dress up your wormy avatar 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! p.s- the coupon is for 5% off your first book purchase in-app 💝
