What a great tool. This could easily be used to find recommendations for students that liked a particular novel or idea in history on science class. I always struggles when a students asks me for recommendations on string theory or quantum mechanics. I can really only recommend books that I have read but this will allow me to input the books that I have read and come up with a more relevant recommendation for them at their level.
The books that I put in were fairly popular with about 20,000 of the 90,000 subscribers having read the books. Of course some of the books that I input barely had a a 100 readers (I have strange tastes in reading). I input a lot of the books that I preview for my older son. He is nine and gets bored with nine year old "picture books" so I read older books to make sure that they are not traumatizing before he does. I also signed up to be a previewer of new books. Apparently each month library thing receives numerous books before they are published and you can request that they be sent to you. All the ask you to do is post a review about the book for others. Usually about 600 people request the 50 books so the odds aren't great but you may get a book before it is published
Here is a link to my books. I will add more later as I am interested in what it has recommended for me.
