Tome, another Goodreads book-tracker rival, shuts down
Our take
Tome, a book-tracking app that gained traction within the vibrant BookTok community, has officially shut down. Designed to empower readers, Tome allowed users to chronicle and rate their favorite books while offering personalized recommendations. Its unique features included the ability to add photos, share favorite quotes, and create playlists that captured the essence of each book. Despite its innovative approach to book tracking and community engagement, Tome's closure highlights the challenges faced by platforms in a competitive digital landscape.
Built on the back of the sizable and influential BookTok community -- creators who discuss and review books on TikTok -- the app offered readers a place to chronicle and rate their books, get recommendations, and even add photos of things like favorite quotes or memes, or share playlists that match the book's vibes.
