A private journal for readers who feel too much.
Instead of giving a book stars, you record what it did to you — which feelings it pulled, how hard, and how it left you. After 5 books, your shelf starts describing you back.
Log what a book did to you, not how many stars it earned. Tag from 18 emotions. After 5 books the engine reads your patterns back to you as an archetype — worked out from what you actually recorded, never a quiz, and never something you pick for yourself.
The Grief Romantic. The Midnight Arsonist. The Comfort Architect. One of 8, and the one you get is the one your reading earned.
Free. No ads. No data selling. The journal is end-to-end encrypted, so we can't read it either.
Goodreads is a catalogue and a social network: stars, rankings, page counts, yearly goals, followers. Bibliome is a private mirror. There are no stars and nothing to be popular in — no page counts, no reading goals, no streaks, and nobody can follow you. It records how a book made you feel; Goodreads records that you read it.
A private journal for readers. Instead of rating a book, you record what it did to you — which of 18 emotions it pulled, how strongly, and how it left you. After 5 books it reads your patterns back as a reading archetype.
Yes. You log each book against 18 emotions grouped into five families, with a strength for each, instead of a star rating. Over time those emotions become a picture of you as a reader.
Yes — free, with no ads, no third-party analytics or tracking scripts, and no data selling.
No stars, no rankings, no page counts, no yearly goals, no streaks, no followers. Bibliome records how a book made you feel; Goodreads records that you read it.
The StoryGraph analyses mood and pace to recommend your next read. Bibliome is not a recommendation engine — it is a private emotional record of the books you have already read, and it turns that record into a reading personality.
Yes. Export your library as a CSV from Goodreads or The StoryGraph and upload it; Bibliome imports the titles and reports how many parsed, imported, and were skipped.
The private journal is end-to-end encrypted in your browser before it is sent. Bibliome cannot read it — not from the database, not from a backup, not if compelled. You can export or delete everything yourself.
Reading DNA is the profile Bibliome builds from your emotional patterns — the feelings you reach for, the ones you avoid, what shows up together. A reading archetype is the human-readable summary of it: one of 8, such as the Grief Romantic or the Comfort Architect.
Five. After 5 logged books the engine offers a first insight or two and usually an archetype — one of 8, assigned from what you recorded, never a quiz and never something you pick.
Examples include the Grief Romantic, the Midnight Arsonist, and the Comfort Architect. There are 8 in total, each assigned from the emotional patterns in your own reading.
Yes. Each profile has a shareable card at its own link that anyone can open without an account. Nothing else on your profile is public.
In one narrow way, called Resonance. When someone else has recorded the same book with almost the same feelings at almost the same strength, Bibliome offers you a single way to say so — you write a note first, they see the note and not you, and if they write back you both learn who the other is at the same moment.
Only on a shared book and the emotions you both recorded for it — never on anything social. You get at most three suggestions at a time, you cannot search for people, and a decline is silent.
Yes, through Collections. A collection is a curated set of books you can keep private or open to any signed-in reader, and you can invite specific people with a link. Each book in a shared collection has its own discussion page.
No. Nobody can follow you, and there are no counts on anything — no followers, no likes tallied, no leaderboards. It is built so it cannot become a social feed.
Echoes are Bibliome's one small public room: short notes about what a book did to you, in a chronological feed that ends with “you're caught up.” There is no path from an Echo to someone's profile, and you can block, mute, or report.
Bibliome is a web app that installs to your home screen on phones and desktops, works offline for reading, and can send push notifications. There is no separate App Store or Play Store download.
No. No page counts, no reading-speed stats, no yearly challenges, no streaks. The only thing it measures is how books made you feel.
