Discover books

Discover is the first tab in Community. It brings together books you might not know yet, based on what you read, what the people you follow read and what's popular.

What you'll see

• For you today: three big suggestions, each with the reason (the next one in a series you left halfway, another by an author you've finished, something from a list you follow…). If you've just joined, you'll see some of the most read books.
• Play discover: the card game (explained below).
• Your rows, only when they have something: Continue your series, By authors you've finished, In lists by people you follow, New releases, Written in your language…
• What people are reading: rankings such as Most read, Bestsellers, New in your language, Must-reads or Just out, with See all for the full list.

Tap any book to see its page: what it's about, where to get it, Want to read, To a list and Share.

Play discover

It's a deck of cards, one at a time.

1. Tap Play discover.
2. Choose where from: Picked for you (from lists by people you follow, your authors and the most read), one of your remote libraries or All my remote libraries (books you could already download), or Look beyond Kevra (books we don't have yet; it asks you which language).
3. For each card, swipe or use the buttons:
   • Skip: not interested. It won't come back.
   • Maybe: saved to your private "Maybe" list.
   • Interested: goes to Want to read.
   • Already read: asks you when (month and year, or I don't remember) and records it as finished in your stats.

Tap the card to see the full book page. Every card tells you why we're showing it.

Common questions

Will it suggest books I already have? No. Books already in Want to read, in your clouds or in your remote libraries are left out, and a deck never has more than two books by the same author.

I ran out of cards. Nothing more for today. Follow someone or add books to your library and new ones will show up.

Can I read the books from "Look beyond Kevra" in the app? Not directly: they're books we don't have. Their page tells you where to get them, sometimes at your public library. See Where to get a book.

On every book's page you'll also find People who read this also read, with books read by other readers of that same book.
