Favorite Features
- Non-toxic Social Media Platform: We’ve heard time and again how much readers love Fable’s social media platform and we have to agree. You can openly share and talk about books you love without any of the distractions that other social media platforms have. It truly is a wholesome experience.
- Curated Book Clubs: Fable has some of the best book clubs led by authors, influencers, and thought leaders. You can join some without paying the annual membership, but you can gain access to many more offered by booktokers to authors by paying the $69.99 annual fee and we think if you can swing it that it’s worth it.
- Interactive Annotations: The highlighting, annotating, and sharing notes features of the reading app improves upon the book club experience and makes you feel like you're connected with other readers.
- Daily Reading Goals: This is a great feature built into the app that helps you stay on track with the reading habits you want to build.
- Diverse Library: The bookstore, although you have to purchase on the web like most other bookstores to avoid the app marketplace gee, offers pretty much any book that you could ever want.

Participate in Discussions: Fable is all about the social aspect, and if you want the most out of it you have to actively engage in book discussions.
