Dear Readers, Isn’t it the greatest time to read a spooky scary book this month? This version includes the following additions: - Roadmap, where we show off what we are working next. The package used for it was made by legends Jordi Bruin, Hidde van der Ploeg and Antoine van der Lee - Book Genres: you can now mark the genre of a book.

Dear Readers! This update addresses one of the biggest pain points our users had: finding books. We’ve added an additional data source that’s much larger - especially when it comes to non-English titles, such as German, French, and Italian books. This specific update now also fixes an issue when searching for books by scanning the ISBN. If you’re still having trouble, let us know. We can always add books manually too. Happy reading!
