New Favorite is a webite that helps users find their next book to read. Users submit the title of a book that they love and their location to get book recommendations and the location of nearby bookstores or libraries. The website uses TasteDive and Google Maps APIs.
New Favorite is for bibliophiles who enjoy reading and want to make the most of their time. It uses titles that they love to make worthwhile recommendations. New Favorite also finds local stores and libraries so users can find a physical copy of the book today.
