Ugh, books are great and all, but the discoverability sucks! Like, why is it so hard to find a novel I want to read? Or even just a database I can properly search by both genre and keyword?!

@garrwolfdog Bookreads should be that but tends to get poisoned by dipshiterry.

Meaning fan stuff like AO3 ends up far more organized. which is kind of hilarious

@Doephin yeah, Goodreads can have it's moments, but you can't seem to use the search within a genre or tag. so you can searchf or a specific book really easily, but if you wanted to get results for epistolery horror, or novels inspired by creepypasta, then it give you nothing. There's no way to just grep the actual data, and I hate it! XD
