Frequently asked questions
How does this book recommendation quiz work?
The quiz asks 6 quick questions about your mood, whether you want fiction or non-fiction, your preferred pace and length, how much reading time you have, and what you want to get out of the book. Your answers are scored against a hand-curated pool of widely loved books across genres, and the 3 best matches are shown. Everything runs in your browser, so there is no signup and nothing is sent anywhere.
What should I read next if I am in a reading slump?
Pick something short and fast-paced that matches your current mood rather than the book you feel you should read. In the quiz, choosing a short length and a fast pace will surface page-turners like And Then There Were None, The Midnight Library or The Psychology of Money, which are all easy to finish and great for rebuilding momentum.
Is this book quiz really free?
Yes. The quiz is completely free, there is no email capture, no account, and you can retake it as many times as you like. It exists because we make booksense, a free iOS reading app, and helping people find and finish books is the whole point.
Can I save the books the quiz recommends?
Yes. Download booksense for free on iOS, add your picks to your shelf, and track your progress with a built-in reading timer, streaks and goals. If you already track your reading on Goodreads, booksense imports your whole Goodreads library, including ratings, reviews and shelves, so your picks land next to your existing books.
How were the books in the pool chosen?
The pool is a curated mix of about 28 widely loved books: thrillers, fantasy, literary fiction, romance, memoir, science, business and self-improvement. Each one is tagged by mood, pace, length and payoff, so the quiz can match books to how you actually feel like reading, not just to genres you have read before.
