How it works

A sheet where you read a line from a book and leave yours. The lines come from readers you will never meet: they appear word by word, stay a few days and dissolve to make room for others.

About Frasy

Three unhurried moves:

1. Tap a line to open it: you will see its book and the city it came from.
2. If it moved you, underline it to keep it on your shelf. Or write a line that stayed with you from a book.
3. Let it go. Lines fade and dissolve; nobody will know who you are.

Nobody knows who wrote a line: it is always shown without your name, even if you have an account. Only an approximate city, based on your connection, and an anonymous identifier from your browser are stored, to limit you to five lines a day.

Privacy policy

Because things end. A line lives about three days and dissolves so others can arrive. If a reader keeps it on their shelf, it lives one more day on the sheet and its copy stays on that shelf.

Not to read or to post. With an account (email, password and a username) you can keep lines on your shelf, which you can make public or private whenever you like.

A line of 3 to 280 characters: a short quotation from a book, how it made you feel, or text of your own, like a poem. The book is optional and can be one with no ISBN yet or not published. Avoid copying long passages from protected works.

Terms of use

Every opened line shows its book and author. If one catches your eye, you already know where to start reading.

Yes, and ad-free.

Open the line and press “Report”, or write to us from Contact with the exact text of the line. We review copyright claims and remove the line, also from shelves.
