Goodreads reimagined

I thought to reimagine Goodreads as a more visual app, focused more on the journey of finding the next read, based on the 'to read' lists of your friends. This way, picking a new book, becomes a more social activity. Global suggestions stay on the left.

I started by simplifying the menu, and reducing redundancy of links in the different sidebars. I tried to visually recall the concept of shelves, with a horizontal layout, packing books by friends, and giving more weight to covers, rather than words. Typography, branding colours stay the same.
