Est. Shelf
A quiet place to curate the books you mean to read.
Your to-be-read pile, kept like a private library instead of a chaotic list. Add a book in seconds, shelve it by mood, and let the day pick your next read for you.
How it works
Three steps, then it stays out of your way.
Add a book in seconds
Search a title, scan a cover, or paste a link. It lands on your shelf with the cover art already in place.
Shelve it by mood
Tag themes — gothic, slow burn, comfort reread — so the right book surfaces when the mood strikes, not just the newest one.
Let the day choose
Can’t decide? The list of the day pulls one book off your pile and hands it to you. Rate it, review it, move on.
Meet the creator
Ruth
Creator of My To Be Read
“Step into my realm of morally grey High Lords and slow-burn magic. What's taking over your TBR? This is MyTBR.”
I built this coven for those of us who live for the plot, get carried away by fictional men, and need a space to swap ideas with our best friends, sisters, moms with phones at their faces during school pick up and drop off and not be bound to Amazon. I wanted a haven where we don't just read these worlds but live in them together. Whether you're here to brainstorm your next chapter or obsess over character arcs with a community of women who get it, consider this your official invitation to the reader's table.

List of the Day
A different book influencer, every day.
Each day we feature one person who does this for a living — a librarian, a teacher, a reviewer with a following — and the books they are actually pressing on people right now. Their bio, where to follow them, and their picks.
Tick the ones you want and they land on your shelf, credited to whoever recommended them. No feed, no algorithm, just lists worth stealing.
