A book recommendation tool from

PBandJ

The Arizona Cardinals have been having an atrocious season. Coach Kingsbury chocks it up to his players not focusing at practice. Likely because they keep stopping to ask him what he has been reading lately or to give him recommendations. He asked for an app that keeps track of his reading so that players can focus on practice and start winning again!

Search for Books

• We would be able to search for books in two different ways.
• On one side we would be able to search via the Author.
• The Genre would be from a dropdown. Utilizing the dropdown would avoid input errors if it was typed in incorrectly.
• Within the search results we would be able to click on the book in order to populate the center portion. This would display the book image and the book details.
• Due to unforeseen circumstances we are unable to demonstrate that portion.
