Books recommendation and retail platform Litalist goes live
Litalist, a platform that allows readers to recommend books based on how they make them feel, has launched today.
People can also buy directly from independent booksellers, and select a Click and Collect option.
Seni Glaister, Founder of Litalist, says: “As a voracious reader, I know how wonderful it is to receive a book recommendation from someone whose taste you really trust.”
“With Litalist, we have created a platform that helps you find just that – recommendations from people who react to different books in a similar way to you. This not only helps you build a community of like-minded readers, it may just lead you to your next favourite book.”
Glaiste, who is the Co-founder and former Chief Executive of The Book People, adds: ”In addition to being a positive environment where you can share the books you love and find even more, Litalist is also a passionate supporter of bookshops, allowing booksellers to sell direct to you, even providing the option for you to collect your purchase in-store. It helps readers discover books and booksellers discover readers. Everybody wins!”
To celebrate its launch, Litalist has announced a new chart featuring the bestselling titles sold outside of Amazon and supermarkets.
This will appear weekly on Litalist, with the bestselling books of 2021 available to view on the platform now.
The venture will also be giving the first 500 users to sign up to the platform a free book from their wishlist shelf, as well as exclusive goodies.
