Share Books. Build Your Reading Circle.
BookMingle is a free book sharing app for borrowing, lending and discovering books nearby. Now with Groups, friends, families, colleagues and book clubs can bring their books together in one shared library, chat and organise exchanges in one place.
Introducing BookMingle Groups
Read together, even when you’re apart. Create a private or public reading circle for the people you actually swap books with — your friends, family, housemates, office colleagues, neighbourhood or local book club.
One Shared Library
See every book your group owns. Lend, borrow or give away titles directly from your group shelf.
Group Chat
Talk about books and coordinate pickups without leaving the app, with updates when books are added.
Private or Public
Keep your book group invite-only, or make it public so nearby readers can discover and join your circle.
Local by Design
Pin a location so members know where your group meets and keep physical book sharing practical and local.
Create a Book Group in Three Steps
1. Name and describe it
Give your reading circle a name and tell members what it is about.
2. Choose visibility and location
Make it private or public, then pin where your group is based.
3. Invite people with a code
Friends and colleagues can join instantly using a simple six-digit group code.
A Book Club App That Also Shares Real Books
Traditional book clubs are great for conversation. BookMingle Groups adds something practical: a shared view of the physical books your circle already owns. That makes it easier to discover your next read, borrow from someone you know, reduce duplicate purchases and keep good books moving.
Use Groups for a workplace book club, a friends’ reading group, a family library, a university society, a neighbourhood book swap or an existing local book club.
