What is BooksAffair?

BooksAffair is a social reading platform that connects authors and readers around books. People use it to discover titles through reviews, ratings, and recommendations; to follow authors; to join book clubs; and to find literary events near them. Authors use the same site to list or claim books, share updates, and answer reader questions. Unlike a storefront-only catalog, BooksAffair is built as a community: BookBites, BookVerse lists, and a directory of publishers, agents, and other publishing professionals sit alongside the catalog. The project's stated mission is to revive reading culture by making the people behind books easier to find and follow -- who you read with, not only what you read. Readers can browse by genre, language, and country; most community features are free with an account.
