Have Bookship extract a quote from a photo of a page you're reading. Create Groups & Calendars to manage your meetings. A mobile-first, camera-ready, emoji-friendly experience!
Whether it's reading a great novel with your best friend across the country or a neighborhood book club, or a business book with your co-workers, Bookship is your virtual book club companion. Build better relationships through books, and enrich your reading experience along the way.

A Wonderful Book Club App

VeraJ on

United States

Was looking for an app to have a “book club” with a few long distance friends. I tried a few different ones, but most were set up for in-person meetings, and I just wanted to discuss books long distance and have our chats separated by book. This app has been the perfect thing. It started out as a good structured way to recommend and talk about books with a few pals, but over the past year of using it it’s had tons of improvements and now offers supplemental readings about the books, has a nicer format, lets you invite people to read in different ways, and is really nice aesthetically. It is simple and easy to use, and fulfills the exact purpose I needed it for... sharing books I love with friends, and getting to hear what they think.

Can't import your own epubs

The concept is great, but the app is of no use to me unless I can import my own epubs and then share them with friends. Provide this functionality and I'll return with a much better review.

Perfect for Reading with Friends or a Book Group

BookShip is a natural way to share reading of any text. All the tools are there to communicate: photos, hyperlinks, excerpts and, of course, text. I’ve used it to read with large groups, small groups, long and difficult texts and shorter recreational reads. It makes group readings more fun and insightful.
