NovelNook - A book finder inspired by my love for reading and my stuggle to find books to read.

💡 - About this project

NovelNook is a website designed to make it easy for book lovers to find their next great read. The website was created with the idea that book lovers (like myself) shouldn't have to spend hours searching for their next book. By using the NY Times API, NovelNook generates a list of books and their descriptions. Users can then add these books to their personal library, which is saved to a supabase database. With its simple interface, users can streamline the process to find their next best read.
