   thank you! I'm not planning on making the code available rn, but I definitely want to make it easier for people who don't use Goodreads to use Project TBR. Thanks for letting me know about bookrastinating, I will look into it

   if you have an Android, then you'll need to go to Goodreads on your browser, bc the Goodreads Android app doesn't have a way to get a link to your profile as far as I could tell. If you have an iPhone there's a little snippet

    Nope lol. Can you give me an example of a search that shows physical book availability? I’d definitely be interested in figuring out how they do it bc it seems like people are interested in this!

    unfortunately the API I'm currently using only searches audiobooks/ebooks. I'll definitely consider doing this in the future though! It's just not trivial

    does this link work for you? https://projecttbr.com/?goodreadsProfile=9499790-brian&libra... I assume you'll have to change the library -- I'll try to repro and fix that issue! That shouldn't happen and t
