@bookstodon I am making a very long list of suggested book pairings, and I wondered if you all had any interest in them? These are read-alikes specifically in the sense of "If you liked this book, you 𝙢𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 also like this other book." I plan to alphabetize them by the titles of the first books in the pairings, so you can easily look for your favorites.
My criteria are my own (I even match up traditional books with graphic novels or short story collections) and it's super subjective, just by definition. But, you would be able to add your own book pairings as well. Books can be alike in (sub) genre, style, subject, thematic elements, even in ways that are not readily apparent.
@kimlockhartga@bookstodon It might be interesting. LibraryThing offers this feature, but I feel like there's a lot of pretty obvious suggestions there - like if you liked this epic quest adventure, you might like this other epic quest adventure.
@kimlockhartga@bookstodon The first pairing that comes to mind is, if you liked Becky Chambers' The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet, I am sure you would like The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Older.
