Read first. Reveal later.

Swipe through anonymous excerpts from books by modern authors across a wide range of genres. If a passage grabs you, reveal the book and its author, save the title for later, or follow a link to learn more. Not interested? Simply swipe left to discover the next excerpt.

2,500+ book excerpts to discover

There’s always something interesting to read. Explore excerpts from recent and upcoming books across literary fiction, thrillers, fantasy, romance, memoir, history, science, and more.

Made for curious readers

Paragraphus is for readers who enjoy sampling books and unexpectedly finding something great.

It’s ideal for:

• Avid readers searching for their next book
• Casual readers looking for quick reading moments
• Readers who want recommendations beyond bestseller lists
• Book club members searching for interesting new picks
• Anyone who prefers to judge a book by its paragraphs, not its cover

Whether you have twenty minutes or just a minute to spare, Paragraphus lets you spend that time actually reading instead of endlessly searching for something to read.

Excerpts are selected to be engaging and comfortable to read on a phone while still giving you a taste of the full book. Because excerpts come from published works, some may contain adult themes, strong language, or challenging topics similar to those found in a general bookstore.

Discover your next favorite book, one excerpt at a time.
