About TookBooks™
A focused reading network for young-adult books.
What is TookBooks™?
TookBooks™ is a community for rating and discovering young-adult books. Give books a 1–5 star rating, write reviews, build shelves, and find readers who share your taste—without ads cluttering the core experience.
It is built to be clean, friendly, and genuinely useful when you are deciding what to read next.
Who it's for
TookBooks™ is made for readers 13 and up who love YA fiction—whether you devour a book a day or are just getting back into reading. There is a self-attestation age gate at signup, and the community is moderated to stay welcoming.
Smarter discovery
Find your Book Twin, browse by mood and trope, and get recommendations from readers who actually rate books like you do.
Honest content warnings
Crowd-sourced, moderated content labels help you know what is inside a book before you start—something most book apps ignore.
Ratings that mean something
One rating per reader per book at the work level, so scores reflect the story rather than a specific edition.
Made to share
Turn your year of reading into a shareable Reading Wrapped card and show off your reader type.
How it works
Rate and review books at the work level, organise them on private or public shelves, and follow readers whose taste you trust. Book details are often sourced from Open Library and cached locally.
Written reviews may be checked by automated safety tools and moderators before they appear publicly, so discussion stays respectful.
Our promise
No ads in the core experience, opt-in public profiles, and privacy-first defaults. You decide what is visible, and your shelves are private until you choose to share them.
