I like this, thank you for building it.
My wish is that the book blurbs were better. For instance I click on Demon Copperhead to learn "What is this book about?" And what I see is "*A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION TWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE ..."
That's marketing garbage (in all caps, no less) that doesn't tell me anything about what the book actually is.
I imagine you're pulling this summary from the publisher's website or somewhere similar. Not sure how to automate a more useful blurb. FWIW, Goodreads starts "Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer..." which is much more what I was looking for.
- bwb 3y agoYa this is publishers :( I am working to fix this and have AI clean it up. Goodreads relies on an army of unpaid labor :), GoodReads librarians fix a lot of that type of stuff.
