It gives you book recommendations based on ✨vibes. ✨ You enter a search query like “funny scifi” and it returns a list of (hopefully!) good recommendations.

Tried a bunch of different searches and most were awful…

Interesting idea!

It’s a neat idea, but seems limited. Returns the same results each search.

For example: funny sci-fi fails to return Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, but does include “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” which is the polar opposite of funny.

A quick search for dark fantasy gave my a bunch of books with “dark” in the title, and many of them were Dark Tower ones

Although dark tower is a bit dark, no?

I’ve heard it is, haven’t got to it yet. But I meant that it should give only one result for dark tower, not dark tower #1, dt #2, etc

Yea I’ve only read the first one myself. You did bring up a valid issue with the search function, I was just joking around :P
