Hi there book suggester or suggestee! This is one of your new mods here 🙂
For a long time, this subreddit used u/goodreads-bot to make it so that people could easily link to books in their comments, until it unfortunately went offline three years ago. We were recently made aware of someone having created a new version of it based on a platform that does still have a public API: u/hardcoverbot! We are very happy to be able to implement this on the subreddit – do have a look at the pinned comment to see what it looks like, and of course feel free to use it in your book recommendations!
from the devvit page:
What it does
A Reddit bot that comments Hardcover data when summoned. As an homage to the original bot, this bot will respond to comments that are prepended with h{{ and ending with }}.
Example:
If someone makes a comment like:
I think you would like h{The Hobbit}
The bot will add a comment with a Hardcover link, author, number of pages, year published, top genres, and a link to a prepopulated search for "The Hobbit".
If someone makes a comment like:
Maybe you should check out h{{Dark Matter}}
The bot will add a comment with all of the information listed above AND the Hardcover description.
If you want to specify the author, you would do it like:
Look at h{Recursion by Blake Crouch}
or
Look at h{{Recursion by Blake Crouch}}
thanks to u/Bechimo for the suggestion in modmail and of course to u/hardcover-bot-dev for creating this bot!
