About Litsy

Where books make friends.

The only thing that matches the joy of reading a great book is sharing that joy with friends.  That’s why we created Litsy.  

Litsy is the place to share and discover your favorite books with your favorite people. As readers, our favorite books are recommended by people we respect, not algorithms.

The Litsy community is a groundswell of passionate readers, authors and influencers creating short posts about their "reading moments." These posts are made of blurbs, photos, quotes and reviews, and each post is linked to one book.

Since enjoying a book has no end, Litsy is 100% mobile and allows you to capture whatever bookish thoughts you have, whenever you have them. Litsy also makes it easy to “go down the rabbit hole," browsing your feed while on the go. When you find your next book, it’s easy to add it to your stack for future reading.

Talking about books is a feel-good activity. It shares a piece of yourself, and it helps others. To recognize this, we thought it would be fun to invent the world’s first “Litfluence” scoring system. Litfluence is our way of showing that what you say about the books you read matters.

It’s fun.  It’s simple.  It’s rewarding. It’s spoiler-free and free to use. And it’s all about the book.  

Sign up and get a little Litsy.

We recommend iOS 9 or newer for the best experience.

In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when our developer was busy fixing bugs and adding find-a-Litsy-friend from contacts on your phone, two and two had to make four.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of push notifications, it was the epoch of new sticker packs, it was the season of being able to edit a comment, it was the spring of accessibility options for voiceover and text sizing, it was the winter of a cool feature to swipe left on posts to get book details, we had everything before us with this new iOS release, including an ability to discover and follow users from hashtag and book profile pages - in short, the period was, in the superlative degree, bookishly awesome.

Taking pictures misbehaves with os10.
Also woes with logging in.
So we decided to release again!
1.5.1
Sep 21, 2016
It was many and many an update a go,
In an app store by the sea,
That we promised cleaner looks,
Faster loading, new tools, a better ability to see;
And the Litsy team lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by thee.

So we quickened the speed and made
Sticky headers — better scrolling for you and me.

And we’ve changed the looks of Reviews, less green,
More handsome, we hope you’ll agree;
Copy a comment, refresh your page,
We’ve squashed more bugs and set them free.

For the moon never beams without bringing us dreams
Of the future of beloved Litsy,
And the stars never rise but we feel the bright eyes
Of our book-crazed community.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is that you can now find me with a hashtag search, and read a whole summary about me, and stack me up in your stacks, and if that’s not enough you can suggest other books you might like more than me to the new Litsy Librarians, and find all those David Copperfield kind of books, but I don’t feel like going into it too much; you’ll have to download the update if you want to know the truth. In the first place, Litsy has these photos which will now save to perfect squares, and in the second place, the little square pictures can now be saved to your “camera roll,” but I won’t sneak around with what’s in there. That’s pretty personal. I can just tell you about this madman stuff that happened pretty recently with a storage issue, but now Litsy is taking it easy and there’s no more of that extra bulk. Oh, I just read this terrific book called Fahrenheit 451, in case you never heard of it. I liked it so much that I told Litsy all about it and they decided to change their character limit to 451 for their post. 300 character posts? Don’t even mention those to me anymore. But what really knocks me out is all the good stuff coming – push notifications, explore tools, a new rating system that lets you tell what’s phony and what’s not – every time Litsy does something pretty I can’t help but fall even more in love with it. It’s really something. I love it so much I could cry, I could stack all the books in the whole world, I could read into the next century or something. I don’t exactly know what I mean by that, but I mean it.

First Developer: When shall we three meet again, in thunder, lightning or in rain?

Second Developer: When the hurlyburly’s done, when the bugs are lost and none.

Third Developer: That will be ere the set of sun.

First Developer: Where the place?

Second Developer: Upon the App Store!

Third Developer: There our app emerges, free of stubborn crashes.

All: Fair is foul, and foul is fair: go the the App Store and download there!

There is a place where books make friends
And there the updates begin,
And there the photos are high-res and bright,
And there your thumbs can double tap to like,
And there the @mentions will now take flight
And a new search by ISBN.

Let us leave this place where the loading is slow
Your live stream of books will coast.
For now there is a new version for iPads to go,
where users can share out and edit their posts.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the Litfluencers go,
For the users, they read, and the App Store, they know
The place where books make friends.

And as in an iPhone thought he stood,
The iJabberwock, with bugs of shame,
Came whiffling under Litsy's hood,
And caused crashes as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through
Our vorpal developers gave the code quite a thwack!
They left the bugs dead, and with a click and a clack,
They submitted this release and went galumphing back.

(In other words, plenty of bug fixes.)

Alice was a little startled by seeing the Cheshire-Cat sitting on a
bough of a tree a few yards off. The Cat only grinned when it saw her. "Cheshire-Puss," began Alice, rather timidly, "would you please tell me what's new with Litsy?"

"In that direction," waving the right paw 'round the iPhone, "are better stacking, a new currently reading status and improved comments, and in that direction," waving the other paw on the screen, "are faster image loading, better book search, and a number of mad performance improvements."

"That's very curious!" said Alice. "I think I may as well go on Litsy at once."

ONCE upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,--
I found a quote, started clapping, pulled out my phone and started tapping,
As if Litsy was my way of clapping, clapping about books I adore.
“But what’s new,” I muttered, “in this release, for all these books that I adore?”

- @mentions to tag people in comments
- Easier search
- Better profile views
- A ton of usability enhancements
- More image editing options

Only this, and nothing more.
