A read, as it appears on Marginaly
What you get
Everything here is built to serve the reading itself.
Three ways to write
Jot a note when a page makes you think. Keep a passage you want to come back to. Or leave an honest review with a rating. Each one stays with the book it came from.
A shelf that fills itself
Mark a book finished and it takes its place on your shelf, cover and all. Over time your profile becomes an honest record of what you have actually read.
Streaks worth keeping
Read a few pages, share a thought, or sit down with others and the day counts. Your streak builds in roman numerals, with your best run always there to beat.
Reading rooms
Open a room and read alongside other people in real time. A shared timer counts down, everyone's page ticks up, and a soft chime marks the end. Company while you read.
Follow what you love
Star the genres you care about and browse shelves of readers and reads by tag. Your feed holds what the people you follow wrote, in the order they wrote it.
Reading is personal
Make your account private and approve each follower yourself. Ask other readers questions they can answer in their own time. Your shelf, your notes, your call.
Three minutes to your first read

Pick a handle and a face
Choose your name and an avatar. They come with names like Night Owl and Margin Scribbler, and one of them will feel like you.
- II
Say what you are reading
Search for the book on your nightstand and set how far along you are. Your profile comes alive straight away.

Share your first read
Write a note, keep a quote, or post a review. Short by design, so it takes a minute rather than an evening.
The margins are waiting.
Bring whatever you are reading right now. That is all you need to begin.
