Marginalia

Marginalia means "writings left in the margins of a book."

The thoughts you leave behind while reading gather to form your own personal library, which leads to the next book.

■ A record completed in seconds

Simply search for the book title, and the cover and genre will be automatically populated.

Choose one of the options: "I want to read," "I am reading," or "I have finished reading."

For books you have finished, you can leave the date you read them and a star rating (in half-star increments).

■ A library built with cards

Books you record are placed in your library as a single card.

Each book is attached with an atmosphere tag that captures its subject matter, writing style, and sentiment.

You can retrieve them at any time by searching by title or author, or by sorting by date read or rating.

■ Notes left in the margins

Try leaving notes on thoughts that come to mind while reading.

You can use those notes as material to create book reviews,

and discover other books that resonate with yours.

■ Your Taste Revealed as Your Records Accumulate

Monthly reading volume and ratings by genre are organized into charts,

and you can read a "Taste Report" to see which books resonate with you.

At the end of the year, the "Bookshelf of the Year" opens, allowing you to reflect on your reading throughout the year.

■ Reading Groups

to browse members' libraries and saved books, and schedule meetings together.
