What the title says. I’m looking for some books to fit my mood and I’m having the hardest time. It’d also be fun to be able to search outside of the box sometime and widen my reading scope.
I saw a post with people joking about what books they’d swipe left on, but that made me wonder if there were actually any good apps for recommendations?
I’ve tried asking Reddit (some great insights but no luck with that I’m looking for atm), browsing the bookstore in person like the olden days, a few websites but they were all pretty lacking. I heard ChatGPT is helpful but I haven’t found any good ones that let you ask without paying.
Anyway, how do you find your next favorite reads?
Believe it or not, the soulless algorithm also known as Amazon has actually been tossing up good recommendations for me lately, as well as having good holiday sales in the Kindle store. If you like fantasy and/or YA, bookriot.com is another good source. And finally, several news outlets are releasing their top 100 lists from 2023. NPR and Time magazine have lists from a wide variety of genres (including literary fiction) this year.
