bookmate

Fellow literature lover

A bookmate is someone who shares your reading interests or reads alongside you—a companion in literary pursuits.

The term parallels classmate or roommate, suggesting a bond formed through shared books: My bookmate and I swap recommendations every month.

Bookmate also names a digital reading platform and subscription service.
