BookMood
BookMood is an app to discover your next read. Readers now have a way to filter their book search...by how they want to feel, not just by genre or rating.
Context.
The idea for BookMood came from personal experience. San Francisco was in serious lockdown during the Covid-19 pandemic and we had no idea when things would open again. It was such a scary and uncertain time and, like everyone, I was STRESSED!
So many of my group texts were filled with book recommendations. But there was always a caveat..."this one is heavy", "beautiful story but it will haunt you", "don't read if you’re already feeling hopeless."
Problem.
In the area of book recommendations, I suspected that readers have trouble finding a book that matches them to a preferred mood when they have self-care in mind.
