Finishing a great book is bittersweet. Will you find something to fill the hole it leaves? Tell us about the written worlds you’ve loved, and we’ll plot a course to the next one.
Each star is a book, lovingly mapped across 22 dimensions like pace, humour and tone. The bigger the star, the better its ratings. Hover over one to trace its constellation, paths to its closest written neighbours bloom. Click it to explore its world. You can drag and scroll the sky to navigate through its genre regions.
Search a title to find its constellation, or an author to set out from their best-loved books. Stack adds a book to your search; two books together find the cosmic path between them. Or describe what you’re after: Victorian ghosts, funny fantasy, even a cosy apocalypse.
Filter by the facts, like era, length or genre. Then drift along any of 22 scales until you land where you want: an intimate story, a warmer tone, a meditative pace, whatever suits your mood. All the scales come from real books: a 5 for pace reads like The Hunger Games, a 1 like Gilead.
Visit classic galaxies of books: Dark Academia, Epic Fantasy or American Myth. Dark Academia is seeded by The Secret History, Ninth House and Babel.
