APPS WE LOVE

Fable

Chat all things books with like-minded readers.

With Fable, reading doesn’t have to be a solo experience. Dive into hundreds of dynamic discussions with fellow book lovers.

What we love: The range of book clubs there are to join. Search by moderator, such as actor LeVar Burton’s Book Club, or by genre (“for lovers of mystery, suspense and jaw-dropping plot twists!”). Once you’re in a club, check out its schedule to read along with others at the same pace and share your thoughts on the club’s chats, all organised by chapter.

Keep track of new and old favourites via your Bookshelf. After you join a club, head to the Discussion tab to say hello in the Club Lobby.

Quick tip: Fable’s built-in e-reader lets you annotate books and share passages with others in the app or friends via iMessage. Just highlight a quote, tap Share and select a background for your custom quote card.

Meet the creator: “I grew up in a small town in India where books were my refuge from boredom and stress,” says founder and CEO Padmasree Warrior. “Reading is a powerful tool to improve mental wellness. I started Fable so that all of us can fill the micro-moments in our hectic lives with stories.”
