Kindread: Book Recommendations

Kindread recommends books that share a soul.

Tell us one book you loved – and Kindread finds titles that feel close to it in mood, theme and style. Mostly by other authors – not just the usual "more by this author" lists. And every recommendation tells you why it fits your book.

HOW IT WORKS The AI has a feel for stories; a book catalogue keeps an eye on the facts. That's how Kindread recommends real, existing books – never invented ones. Suggestions appear as you type, so you find your book in seconds.

MOOD, NOT PIGEONHOLES What are you in the mood for? Something comforting, magical, haunting or clever? Search by feeling, discover the theme of the day, or go on a blind date with a book. The title stays wrapped in parchment until you decide to open it.

YOUR SHELF IS ALIVE Your TBR pile gets a say, too. Its oracle answers the hardest question of all: What should I read next?

And when you finish a book, it isn't simply ticked off. Kindread celebrates the moment with gold dust, a ribbon, and a question: how did the story feel to you? Your reading year and your personal reading goal keep you company, page by page.

YOUR READING WORLD MAP With every book you finish, your reading world grows. Each country turns gold – for where the author is from, or where the story is set. Zoom in, find the blank spots, and ask for a book from exactly that part of the world.

TELL ME WHEN Some books just need a little more time. Watch a title and Kindread lets you know when it's out in paperback – no account needed.

BOOKSHOPS NEARBY Kindread shows you the bookshops nearby. Your next favourite book might already be waiting in a shop window around the corner.

BRING YOUR BOOKS ALONG Your reading history is welcome here. Import your Goodreads library in minutes.

SCAN A COVER Sometimes the right book is standing right in front of you. Scan the barcode or take a photo of the cover. Kindread recognises the title and finds books that are kindred in mood, theme and style.

PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. Kindread only processes what's needed to recommend books you'll love. Your reading world stays yours.

Kindread is for everyone looking for the next book after the last one they loved.

WHAT MAKES A BOOKSHOP Some have creaking floorboards. Others smell of paper. And some have a cat. In Kindread, she's called Sadie. The shop window is her favourite spot – she sleeps the nights away there and stretches with the morning. Sometimes she sits by an empty shelf and waits with you for the first book. You don't have to do anything for her. She's simply there.
