Not sure what to read next? Let’s help you find a book that actually fits your vibe!
Finding your next read doesn’t have to be stressful. Start with what you already love, then let the catalog guide you toward something new.
First, start with what you already love:
What games do you play?
What shows or movies do you binge?
What music or podcasts do you vibe with?
What TikTok or YouTube rabbit holes do you fall into?
Now try this:
🔍 Search our catalog: acl.bibliocommons.com
Type in keywords that match those vibes:
"revenge" "sports" "survival"
"found family" "magic" "funny"
"apocalypse" "romance" "thriller"
Or try words that match your interests or the mood you're in.
See something that catches your eye?
If it’s in our collection, go grab it!
If it’s not, we can request it from another library (even outside Allegheny County!)
Judge books by their covers, not people.
Read the first page; if it grabs you, continue.
Try graphic novels, audiobooks, or novels in verse for shorter reads.
Books are like playlists: skip what doesn’t vibe, save what does! 🎶
