## What is BookRecs?

Everyone has a book they will never forget. The hard part is finding the next one. BookRecs is your personal AI librarian, built for exactly that moment.

Tell it what you loved and why. It learns your taste and goes deeper than a bestseller list, understanding the feeling you are chasing, not just the genre on the spine. Under the hood it matches the meaning of what you love against thousands of books, then tells you why each pick belongs on your shelf. You are not guessing from a cover and a blurb. You get a reason.

It is like the friend with impeccable taste who always knows what you should read next, except this one has read everything.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Describe your taste or a book you loved, and get recommendations that actually fit
- Read a clear AI explanation of WHY each book matches what you are after
- Discover reads across every genre, not just the current bestsellers
- Start free: add as many books as you like, then get 3 reading plans a month and 1 library recommendation a day. Describe what you're in the mood for and get 3 books to swipe through, saved as a reading plan
- Build reading plans instead of a random pile of titles
- Keep a history of your recommendations so you never lose a good one

HOW IT WORKS
BookRecs turns what you love into meaning, not just keywords, and searches thousands of books for the closest matches. Every recommendation comes with a reason, so you can trust the pick before you commit.
