What ReadStreakBot does
ReadStreakBot addresses a specific, common problem: knowing you want to read more but not having a book lined up and not sticking with it once you start. Choose a genre and a difficulty level, and it suggests specific titles along with short annotations to help you pick something that actually matches your mood and reading level, rather than a generic best-of list. Its name points at the other half of the concept — helping build and maintain a reading streak, similar in spirit to habit-tracking apps for exercise or meditation but applied to books. That combination of discovery plus a habit-forming nudge is a different angle from a pure search or recommendation bot: it is trying to help you actually finish books, not just find them. It is a small independent project with public documentation on Telegra.ph and a companion blog channel for updates, rather than a bot backed by a publisher or bookstore — so treat its title suggestions as one enthusiast's curation rather than an exhaustive licensed catalog, and it does not provide the actual book files or audio itself.
