I've been in a bit of a reading slump for the past few months, and while I have a Goodreads TBR, going through 100+ books feels overwhelming. So I decided to oursource the task to Tailored Book Recommendations!
TBR (Tailored Book Recommendations - mytbr.co/) is a service where you can sign up for three book recommendations once a quarter. You complete a profile sharing what you do and don't like to read (including your Goodreads profile), and then your bibliologist (someone who reads A LOT) will recommend three books they think you'll like.
Here I share my experience trying the service for the first time, including registration, receiving my reading recommendations, and what I thought of the books themselves.
