if you type in a topic and click generate, it can take between 10-30 seconds to provide you with your results, they will appear just beside or just under where you typed in your topic on desktop and mobile respectively.

It looks like this was happening because the book is too far down the list on that site so the algorithm assumes its unimportant. I'm improving the algorithm now to account for these cases.

I've just been working on this over the last 2-3 weeks so it's only optimized for the USA at the moment. I'm planning on have some popular regions such as UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, and India, functioning before the end
