Curation Service ShelfJoy Suggests Daily Reading Recommendations
Alyson Wyers — June 30, 2016 — Business
This curation service for books is here just in time for summer vacation. If you plan on getting lots of reading done this season, whether at the beach or just as a general interest, this startup offers book suggestions to you. Rather than sending them via email, you will receive the ShelfJoy reading recommendations through Facebook Messenger.
ShelfJoy is a startup based in the UK that provides "handpicked book suggestions for your shelf, delivered daily on Messenger." The curation service recommends one book everyday, but also allows you to see other books on the same 'shelf,' or a different curated list all together. The shelves contain a wide variety of subject matter, from books on California wines to books written by the survivors of the 2004 tsunami.
