How Swiping Works

Four simple steps to your next great read

01

Read the Description

Each card shows a spoiler-free description that captures the mood, themes, and writing style. No titles visible until you decide - just the story's essence.

02

Swipe Right to Like

Intrigued? Swipe right or tap the heart. The book is saved to your reading list and the title is revealed - ready for you to buy and read.

03

Swipe Left to Pass

Not your style? Swipe left or tap the X. We learn from every pass too - so future recommendations get sharper with every swipe.

04

Build Your Reading List

Every liked book goes to your personal list. Track what you've read, rate books, and buy through Amazon when you're ready to dive in.

Discovery Without the Noise

We strip away everything that gets between you and the right book

Spoiler-Free Descriptions

Every book description is carefully crafted to convey tone, themes, and style without giving away plot twists, endings, or major reveals. You'll know if a book is for you - without ruining the experience.

No Cover Bias

Book covers are hidden during the swipe phase. You judge books purely by their stories - not their design budget. This levels the playing field and helps you find hidden gems you'd normally scroll past.

Genre-Based Filtering

Set your preferred genres and exclude the ones you don't enjoy. Only see books that match your taste - from literary fiction to sci-fi, romance to thrillers, and everything in between.

Recommendations That Learn You

The more you swipe, the smarter it gets. Here's what shapes your recommendations.

Smart, Not Pushy

Unlike store algorithms that push bestsellers and paid placements, Novelly's recommendations are purely based on your taste. No sponsorships, no promoted books - just honest, personalized picks from a library of 62,000+ titles.
