This is so cool! I've been meaning to do something like this! I also wanted to add a randomizer button so that I could pick from a specific shelf. Ex: If I wanted a tbr nonfiction book I could pick the nonfiction shelf and it would pick one from that.

Thank you! And yes, I totally agree with a randomizer button, it would be cool to be able to pick a book with more specific limitations. I also thought about doing some additional things like only returning books that have been released since I know I've got at least a handful of ones that aren't set to come out for a few months.

True. I think I have a couple like that from favorite authors but I'm so bad at keeping up with new releases. There's so much you can do with it!
