How to Use Reading Appeal Factors to Find More Five-Star Books

Appeal factors are the characteristics that engage the reader and include the book’s pacing, the level of character development, the types and complexity of language used, the mood of the story, and the book’s overall tone.

I'm excited to try out some of the tools they link to. Right away I see so many new-to-me interesting titles on whichbook.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll for sure be going through this and checking out the suggested sites. I imagine it will help me add more books to my pile of books to read that hopefully I’ll get to some day. I’m not even mad though. I love the challenge.

This is great!!!

Great resource! It's so hard to find books that deal with complex themes these days and aren't afraid to let their readers explore the world a bit.
