Create a private circle
Invite only the people whose reading taste or book-club opinion matters to you.
Reading Circles
Make trusted readers part of the decision.
Create small private groups for close friends, book clubs, genre friends, or family. See what people you trust are reading without turning Riley Locke into a generic social network.
Compare a real book
Invitations keep the book and reason visible instead of dropping someone on a generic signup page.
Decide with context
See your fit, the book knowledge, and privacy-filtered friend signals in the same decision.
Private by default
Your reading activity is yours to share.
Joining a circle does not automatically expose your shelf. You choose whether that circle can see your reading activity, and you can hide individual books at any time.
