After months and months of hard work, I’m so excited to announced that the highly anticipated “black bar” special feature has launched!!!! It’s called the Aestas Book Database, or as I affectionately like to call it “BookDB”. The name came up by random chance as we were working on it. Saying “Book Database” was a bit of a mouthful, so we just started calling it “BookDB” and the name stuck. So here it is!!! It’s LIVE!! You can enter it right here!
It has over 4000 books, 850 authors, 800 series, and 215 lists of books in every category I could think of!
BookDB is basically an extension Aestas Book Blog that provides a personalized and custom-designed book-themed search engine, tailored lists of books in specific categories, an innovative advanced search feature, categorized lists of books, and an interconnected network of books, authors, and series. This site is different from sites like Goodreads or Amazon because the books here have all been carefully and individually selected by me (Aestas) as ones I think sound good, or that I’ve personally read and loved. This all started because I get asked so many times each day by readers, “Hey, do you remember that book where…” or “What was that book that had a….” etc and while I love answering these questions, I also wanted to build a search engine that would help readers find the specific books they were searching for faster, accurately, and easily. So, the Aestas Book Database was designed and launched!
Ready to try it??

I have to say for months I’ve been wondering what this new feature could be and I am so pleasantly surprised! What a fantastic idea! Super helpful for finding new mood-right stories. Thanks for taking the time to build it!

You’re so welcome!! 😀 Haha I kept telling people who were asking when it would launch to just trust me, they’d understand why it took so long when they saw it. I’m really happy that it’s helpful for you!!

This is so cool. I have been using Goodreads to find books and sometimes it drives me crazy, but I love it. Have great hopes for BookDB
