About Reedr

Book discovery

Find a book by mixing two favourites.

Choose two books you love and one quality from each. Reedr looks for another book that brings those qualities together, and explains why it could fit.

Try a personal mix

One personal preview, with no account or payment card needed.

Keep the parts you loved.

  1. Find the first book in the catalogue and choose what mattered to you, such as its atmosphere or characters.
  2. Choose a second book and a quality from that one, such as its setting or pace.
  3. Read the suggested book and its explanation. Treat it as a starting point for your own choice.

For example, the atmosphere of The Secret History and the setting of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell can point towards Babel: an academic world in a magical, historical Britain. This is an editorial example of the connection, not a promise that every reader will enjoy the same book.

Two books you love. Somewhere new to go.

Mix what you loved.
Find your next book.

The atmosphere of one book. The setting of another. See how Reedr brings them together, then try a mix of your own.

A shared example changes each week. Your own preview is one personal mix, with no account or card needed.

Robin Swift studies translation at an Oxford where language powers magic. His place among its scholars brings him into conflict with the empire their work supports.

About this book

Why this could fit

The closed academic world of The Secret History meets the magical, historical Britain of Jonathan Strange. Babel brings those interests together through scholarship, power and the cost of belonging.
