The vast majority of readers select their next book based on what they're in the mood for and talk about books in relation to the feelings they evoked.
Yet there's no easy way to search for books along this dimension.
What do you feel like reading today?
On The StoryGraph, you'll be able to find books and review them against a list of moods.
After a couple of rounds of Alpha testing and lots of Bookstagram (the corner of Instagram dedicated to books) user research, the working list is:
Adventurous
Dark
Emotional
Hopeful
Humorous
Informative
Light-hearted
Mysterious
Reflective
Relaxed
Sad
Tense
If you have more than one minute and are so inclined, please do hit Reply and give me your initial impressions of the list.
Does it make sense to you? Is anything missing?
This week
Progress was slow last week as I spent most of it in Spain for a friend's wedding.
My goal this week is to complete the flow for easy onboarding from Goodreads, as well as start with the tools that allow a user to better organise and search through their TBR (to be read) list.
