Hey Buzzers! Did you guys know that we recently launched a book recommendation app called Bookscout? It's a new book recommendation app we're housing on Facebook that generates book recommendations for you, depending on the books you "like"!
How does it work? It's easy, just sync your Facebook account with Bookscout and then just start adding books to your shelves! Currently you can sort books into "want to read", "have read", or "currently reading" - but Bookscout bases its recommendations depending on what you "like".
Check out the interface below! Just click on the photos to see the larger versions!
We think Bookscout could be a fun tool to generate which book you should read next when you're in between reads or sick of looking at your TBR pile, but an app is only as fun if you have friends to play with, so invite your friends to join you and compare books! We even set up an activity for those of you who already have Bookscout accounts, so check it out here!
What do you think of this new app, Buzzers?
