How Yonderbook Works

Turn your Goodreads want-to-read list into free books in 5 steps. No account needed.

1

Connect your Goodreads shelves

Authorize Yonderbook to read your Goodreads shelves, or upload a CSV export instead. No account required.

Why two clicks?

The first click sends you to Goodreads to authorize Yonderbook. The second, once you are back here, completes the connection. Goodreads deprecated their API in 2020, which broke the automatic redirect between those two steps.

Would rather not? Upload a Goodreads CSV export instead and skip connecting altogether.

2

Choose a shelf to search

Pick which shelf you want to check -- your want-to-read list, or any other shelf.

3

Enter your zip code

Tell us roughly where you are so we can find the libraries near you.

4

Choose your library

Pick your library from the ones serving your area.

5

See what you can borrow

Yonderbook checks every book on the shelf against that library and shows you what is available now.

Do I need an account?

No. You can connect Goodreads, search your shelves and see what your library has without one. An account saves your connection so you do not have to reconnect each visit, keeps your imported shelves between sessions, and is required for BookMooch imports, which act on your behalf on another site.

What else can you do with Yonderbook?

Analyze your reading

See statistics about your reading habits: author gender breakdown, publication year distribution, your rating patterns, and more. Discover if you're reading as diversely as you think.

Search any shelf

Not just want-to-read—search any Goodreads shelf including your "read" shelf to find books you might want to re-read, or custom shelves you've created.

Multiple libraries

Have library cards for multiple systems? Search different libraries to maximize your chances of finding available copies.

BookMooch integration

Automatically add books from your Goodreads list to your BookMooch wishlist. Get notified when books you want become available for trading.
