Your shape
Discworld, as a shape
Every world sits somewhere on the mood plane — this is where that one sits, against the whole catalog. So does everything you read: discover by how a book feels, not only by the shelf it was filed under.
Bright and intense: 97% of this universe's placed works, the catalog's 44%.

What is in it
Look around first
AtlasConstellations of worlds that read alikeYour voyage
Your reading as a sky
Every book you finish here is kept with the date you finished it. Once there is a shelf behind you, it plays back as a sky of your own.
Your finishes fall as a river of stars. Each book lands in the month you closed it, so a year of reading is one picture.
Your series become constellations. Every figure lights in reading order — and turns gold when you reach the last book.
Your authors become suns. Sized by how much of them you have read, coloured by how those books feel.
And a card at the end

Your year in one card — brightest month, longest binge, the series you finished. Yours to keep, or to post.
The sky above is an example, drawn from an invented shelf. Yours is drawn from your own.
