Micro Social helps you manage your reading and discover new books using Micro.blog’s capabilities. It provides tools for finding recommendations and tracking your reading progress throughout the year.

The Books Tab

Enable the Books Tab in Micro Social to turn the app into your reading companion. This tab works with the three standard bookshelves every Micro.blog user has.

From the Books Tab, you can:

  • View all books on your bookshelves.
  • Move books between shelves.
  • Search for and add new books to your shelves by tapping the plus icon.

When you finish a book, mark it as finished to move it to your “finished reading” shelf. You can then choose to post about your achievement or keep it private.

Reading Goals

Reading goals help track your progress. At the top of the Books Tab, you’ll see:

  • The total number of books you’ve finished this year.
  • A progress bar showing your advancement towards your goal.

You can easily edit your reading goal directly in the app, and your progress will update accordingly.

Recommendations

If you’re looking for new reads, Micro Social offers a recommendations section that pulls books recommended by the Micro.blog community.

From here, you can:

  • See what the community is saying about a book.
  • Add a book directly to one of your shelves.
