BookNook is an application designed for book lovers to discover new books and efficiently organize their reading materials. With this application, users can create personal bookshelves, manage their reading lists, and interact with various APIs to enhance their reading experience. This project was completed in a two-week timeframe and I look forward to continue adding to and improving upon it.
