A shape, not a list

Tune your taste.
Find your next book.

Your Reader DNA is the shape your library makes — six dimensions of taste, re-averaged with every book you finish and rate. Suggestions are matched against that shape, not a genre tag.

How it works

A shape, tuned to you — re-averaged with every finish.

I

We average your shelf.

Every book you finish and rate is scored on six axes — pace, atmosphere, prose, plot, emotion, cerebral. Your rated library averages into a single shape: your Reader DNA.

II

You tune the dial.

Drag a handle on any axis to push for more prose, less plot, more cerebral. Pick a reading mode — Craft, Emotional, Reading mode. Skip a finished book to find what's next to it.

III

We surface the matches.

A handful of suggestions are scored against your shape — near it, stretching it on one axis, or filling a gap your library is missing. The list updates with every change.

Four kinds of pick

Suggestions, the way a good bookseller would put it.

I

Near your shape

Books that sit almost on top of your Reader DNA polygon. The safe centre — what you'll like with high confidence.

II

Stretch one dimension

A single axis pushed above your usual. Same shape on the rest. The shortest path from comfort to growth.

98 match
Blood Meridian
III

Fill a gap

Drawn from a corner of your library that's thin — a genre, a region, a decade. Picked precisely because it isn't already on your shelf.

23% Capitalism
IV

Anchor to a finish

Skip to any book you finished and we'll surface what sits next to it — the conversation that book was part of.

The Shining
The card

Every suggestion comes with its own radar.

So you can see, at a glance, exactly where the book matches your shape and exactly where it stretches you — before you ever open it.
