(I am fully aware this is bound to be a controversial opinion, I don't mean to target any comment or user in any way, I deeply wish to hear the general feeling about this)

As someone who has been occasionally using the PB app for around half a year now, it's more than common to see new people coming and asking for recommendations on a specific niche Great, amazing, let's get the education starting!

The community is growing and people are loving it here But every other recommendation post that I see is often met with some polite rejection and links to a number of lists>> Now lists are great and there are many for every taste but they don't always work for a personalized recommendation. First of all there is already a huge chunk of them for one person to see them all of they don't have the time to spend too much time on the app. The most popular ones are also pretty overcrowded with more than 50 books in there which can be overwhelming or just not helpful if someone wants something specific

And as the experience grows you get familiar with the app and the users, you will find people who you connect with their tastes and trust their judgment or see their posts 💗 For now (at least to my update of the app I don't know if there is a feature available overall) personal messages are not an option, posts like these are often how users get better involved with the fandoms and others. I just feel like the experience gets a little shaky when all the comments are gesturing to a list without recommending even a book from there. The intention might be good and to be completely honest I have found many of my favorite lists through chat. Thanks for reading all that if you did btw
