Love at First Site: What Should I Read Next?
The website What Should I Read Next? is exactly what it sounds like.
Users enter a favourite book title or author, and the site’s database is mined for a “similar” option. What Should I Read Next? is community driven: readers add their own lists, which in turn generate the recommendations.
Although my TBR list is already monstrously long, I decided to give it a whirl.
I intentionally chose a less-than-common novel:
A Glastonbury Romance
These are the suggestions I received:
Results, Part 1
Results, Part 2
I’m not sure how helpful those suggestions are. Middling? Surprising? It really doesn’t matter, because I could do this all day. As a time-wasting game, it’s pretty fun. If my TBR list gains a few new entries, that is delicious, fluffy icing.
If you give it a go, please let me know your results!
