The bot has two purposes. Make book searching easier, and support a ranked voting system for book selection. As both purposes are fulfilled, future updates will primarily consist of refining the bot. Searching uses Google Books, and the ranked voting system works by allowing readers to vote for their most preferred book, followed by their second, third, and so on.
I hope this simple bot can improve your book club experience! For feedback, questions, or comments, email me at: amrojjeh@outlook.com.
