Your next read, with a twist

Keep what you loved. Change what you wanted more of.

Choose a book you know, then turn up the mystery, ease off the romance, or find a faster pace. Book Mixer compares nine editorial scores and gives extra weight to the qualities you change.

The scores describe a reading experience; they are Book Review Guide judgments, not customer ratings. Recommendations begin with standalone books and series starting points. A sequel can still be your reference.
