Tell us about your recent favorite books, movies, TV shows, podcasts, music, authors, creators, or interests! Are you looking for something similar to these favorites or something completely different?*

You can also share more about your mood as a reader, viewer, or listener. Are you in the mood for something cozy and comforting, or something thought-provoking that tugs at your heartstrings? The more you tell us about your taste, the better we can tailor your personalized suggestions — whether you like to stick to favorite genres, choose based on mood, or if you’re looking to step outside your usual favorites!

We want to hear about your dislikes too! Understanding what books or media you don't like helps us determine what to avoid when selecting materials just for you.

Do you have a least favorite author? A book that didn’t interest you? A movie that you never want to watch again?

Is there anything specific you'd like to avoid?

We will make every effort to avoid the subject matter(s) noted; however, we cannot guarantee that the suggestions will be free of material you may find unacceptable.
