Our Story

Building bridges between readers and the books that will change their lives.

How Krabi Bookings Began

Krabi Bookings was founded on a simple belief: that the right book at the right time can fundamentally transform a person's life. Our founder, an avid reader and former literature professor, noticed a growing disconnect between readers and truly meaningful literature in an age of algorithmic recommendations and overwhelming choice.

What started as informal reading recommendations to friends and colleagues has grown into a dedicated service that helps readers across the UK discover books that resonate with their personal journeys, challenges, and aspirations.

Today, we continue to operate with the same core principle that guided our first recommendation: every reader deserves thoughtful, personalized guidance in discovering literature that will enrich their life.
