Save every book you want to read, organise the pile, and actually get through it. Free forever, from a real independent bookshop, with rewards for reading.
One tap adds any book in the shop to your Want to Read shelf. Browse a huge catalogue of romance, fantasy, sci-fi, horror and thriller titles.
Shelves for currently reading, finished and want to read, so the pile stays a menu instead of a guilt trip.
Reading challenges and goals give the pile structure. Earn LitCoins as you finish books and spend them on your next haul.
Pick a book from your TBR and start a buddy read or book club so someone is expecting you to finish it.
TBR stands for To Be Read. Your TBR list (or TBR pile) is the collection of books you own or want to read but have not started yet. Readers on BookTok and Bookstagram use it constantly: "adding this to my TBR" means "I want to read this".
Yes. Ever After Books (everafterbooks.uk) has a free TBR and reading tracker: save any book to your Want to Read shelf, organise your library, track what you are currently reading, and mark books finished. It works in any browser, installs as an app on your phone, and is run by a real independent UK bookshop.
Keep it in three layers: a short priority list of 3 to 5 books you genuinely plan to read next, themed shelves for the rest (by genre, mood or season), and a wishlist for books you do not own yet. Review it every month or two and delete anything you no longer fancy. A TBR is a menu, not a debt.
There is no correct number, but an unbounded TBR causes decision paralysis. A useful rule: keep your active TBR under 20 books and park everything else on a someday shelf. If a book has sat unread for a year and no longer excites you, remove it guilt-free.
Give the pile structure and stakes: set a yearly reading goal, join a reading challenge that maps to books you already own, or start a buddy read so someone else is expecting you to finish. Ever After Books has free reading challenges, buddy reads and book clubs built in, plus LitCoin rewards as you read.
Yes. With a free Ever After Books account your profile shows your shelves and reading activity, friends can see what you are reading, and you can pick a shared book for a buddy read straight from your TBR.
Your TBR is one piece. Track your stats, find your people, and never run out of recommendations.
