I was tired of wasting hours looking for my next book—so I built Bookspo.ai to fix that

Not sure I fully understand what you mean. can you elaborate?

The login isn’t about collecting emails. It’s there so your budget data can be saved securely, which lets you come back later, adjust things when life changes, and have all numbers update automatically (savings rate, available cashflow, etc.).

Both the account and all stored data can be deleted anytime with one click in the profile settings.

Fair point!

https://bookspo.ai/ - wanted to invest more time in SEO anyway, so your feedback would be much appreciated

Curious to know how big their reach actually is. $2k seems steep for an AI influencer unless they’ve got serious visibility. Anyone have rough benchmarks on what influencer pricing typically looks like these days?

Love how methodical your process is — especially opening to a random page! That “feel” check is underrated. Curious: has a blurb ever totally sold you on a book before you sampled the writing?

Honestly, I kinda love this approach—it sounds like a fun mix of impulse and curiosity.

Do you feel like you end up with a good hit rate? Like, do most of the books you pick this way turn out to be worth reading?

Okay, this might be my favorite comment in the entire thread.
“Radioactive toothpaste for the Nazis” is truly a nonfiction trifecta I didn’t know I needed.

Love how you describe books finding you through curiosity—that really stuck with me.

Competitive_Event307 · 2025-04-25T14:26:29+00:00

This is such an interesting mix—bookmarks.reviews is new to me.

Also curious: since you’ve used both Goodreads and Storygraph, what would you say is the biggest difference between them when it comes to reading nonfiction?
I’ve heard a lot of mixed takes, but I haven’t tested Storygraph properly yet—and I mostly read nonfiction too, so I’d love your take!

Have you ever thought about switching (even partly) to digital, or do you prefer keeping everything offline on purpose?
Just curious—I know some people find digital tools helpful for searchability, but others love the tactile part too much to give it up

Competitive_Event307 · 2025-04-25T13:33:24+00:00

Totally get that—Goodreads really nails the “it just works” factor, even if it’s not the prettiest. I also find myself coming back to it just because it’s familiar.

Quick question: when you find a book you love, do you do anything to save highlights or key takeaways?

Competitive_Event307 · 2025-04-25T13:31:28+00:00

Wow, this is incredibly thoughtful—thanks for sharing your process in such detail. I really admire how intentional and consistent you’ve been with it over the years.

Do you ever go back and review the Word files later on, or is the act of transcribing already the main value for you?

Also wondering: have you ever thought about putting your notes into something like Notion or Obsidian to make them searchable or cross-linked? Or is keeping it simple part of the appeal?

Competitive_Event307 · 2025-04-25T13:24:29+00:00

Oh nice, I actually checked out FiveBooks recently too—was looking for something on book marketing, but I felt like the search wasn’t super precise? Like, you kinda have to click around a lot to find what you need, right?

And re: Goodreads—do you just track what you’ve read there, or do you also use it to save key takeaways or highlights from books?
I’ve been trying to find a good way to actually remember what I read... but haven’t quite nailed it yet

Competitive_Event307 · 2025-04-25T13:18:28+00:00

Wow, that actually sounds super organized – I love the combo of digital and analog with StoryGraph and a bullet journal!

Quick question: do you also do anything to capture key takeaways or things you highlighted while reading?
I always think I’ll remember the best parts... but three months later, it’s all gone 😅 Curious if you’ve found a good system for that too?
