Welcome to BookBuddy!
+
+
What is this place?
+
Book Buddy is a digital book tracking web application created to remove
+ the social aspect of other reading applications such as Goodreads or Hardcover.
+ All other book tracking applications focus so much on
+ “what others are saying” about a book. This website is not for finding the
+ hottest new books. It's about tracking the books YOU have or YOU want to read.
+ We here at BookBuddy believe that this allows you to feel less guilt for not following
+ the trends of the hottest books. Reading is all about consuming books that you find
+ interesting, and you should be able to read books that you want to without
+ feeling the fear of missing out or guilt that comes with not reading the hottest new books
+ people are talking about.
+
But what if I still want to find new books
+
No Problem! just ask a Buddy™
+
With our Ask a buddy feature, you can get personalized book recommendations
+ based not only on what you read but also on how you read. No two readers are the same,
+ and whether you read for the thrill of a good story, something to wind you down for
+ the night, or to learn something new, Our Buddy has you covered.
+
+
But I already have a digital library elsewhere
+
Wonderful, bring it on over!
+
We love big libraries here.
+ Bring your digital library over with ease with our library uploader.
+ Simply bring over a copy of your library's CSV file and we will handle the rest
+
+
What's a CSV file?
+
Don't worry about it!
+
A CSV is just a spreadsheet, and in this case one that contains your books.
+ Here are a few tutorials on how to obtain
+ your library CSV from other websites!
