Book discovery
Find your next book by mood.
Tell Reedr what you feel like reading: an atmosphere, a setting, a pace, or something you want to avoid. Explore the suggestions and save the books that interest you.
Open DiscoverSign in or create a free account to search by mood.
Start with a sentence like this.
“A quiet mystery in a small town, with an autumn atmosphere and very little violence.”
This example gives the search a genre, setting, feeling and boundary. You can be just as specific about wanting something funny, hopeful, unsettling or fast to read. It is an example request, not a saved recommendation.
From a feeling to a reading list.
- Open Discover and describe the reading experience you want. Include an author or book you already enjoy if it helps explain your taste.
- Read the suggestions and open a book to see more about it. Refine your request when the first set is too broad.
- Save a book to your to-be-read shelf. When you start it, keep your progress and private thoughts together.
Mood, genre and your own taste.
A genre gives you a broad kind of story. Mood adds the experience you want from it: a romance could be comforting or heartbreaking; a mystery could be playful or bleak. Your request can include both.
AI suggestions can miss the mark. Mood descriptions are subjective, and a request to avoid a topic is not a verified content warning. Check the publisher description and other reader information for anything that matters to you.
If you know exactly which two books capture the feeling, try mixing qualities from two favourites. If you want to choose from books you already saved, use Read Next on your own shelf.
