book recommendation

What to read

A book recommendation is a suggestion to read a particular book, offered based on someone's tastes or needs.

Recommendations come from friends, librarians, algorithms, or curated lists: I'm looking for book recommendations for my vacation.

The phrase often appears in requests: Any book recommendations for someone who loved that series?
