#bookout

     oddly enough, the end of the day was not something newt scamander      ever really looked forward to. then again, one could describe almost      everything about the man as odd. including his affinity for children, even      when they were screaming and crying — they always made him smile.      besides, kids were much easier to talk to than adults.

          “miss goldstein, haven’t we talked about this?” he said, though there wasn’t            any power behind his voice as he scrunched up his eyes, letting the little            girl paint his face blue. “everyone else is going home, it’s time to fetch your            bag.”

In the app, you can add books you have previously read, and you can add your own books (including cover images) if the isbn isn’t recognized. I’ve also been reassured by the developers that a future update will allow me to edit cover images for previously added books. Currently Bookout is only available for iOS, but hopefully other platforms will be supported soon. The only downside I have found so far is that sometimes my phone isn’t near me when I want to start reading and I have to walk to the other room 20 feet away, but, in reality, it’s rare for my phone to not be with me 24/7. If the developers see this, maybe they can make a way to manually add reading time after the fact… batteries die y’all.

If you’re like me and are in need of some new motivation in your reading life, or maybe a new mindset about tracking, I’m here to recommend Bookout to you.
