This is the reading app I always wanted but could never find. Thanks so much for taking the time to develop it. I absolutely love the stats section. One feature that I think would be cool to have would be a way to not see recommendations from a specific author. Like a sort of personal blacklist. Also, the ability to customize what appears in the browse section would be great. subgenres may also be helpful, like Christian instead of Religion broadly. I love what you do and will be recommending!

It's all right but very time consuming to try and keep updating. Probably good if you need suggestions for what to read next.

Hi Eileen thank you for the feedback. Bookist does work better at individualised recommendations if we know more about your reading preferences and it does take time to give us this information if you've read a lot of books. Importing your reading history from a different platform can sometimes help.
