How do I change my favourite genres and authors?
Edit the genres you love or avoid, and add authors you love, to tune your recommendations.
Genres
- Open More → Reading Preferences.
- Under Genres I Love or Genres to Avoid, tap Edit.
- Tick or untick genres, then tap Save.
Authors and books you love
- Open My Books → Loved.
- Choose Authors and tap + Add an author, or choose Books and tap + Add a book.
- Search for the name or title and tap it to add it.
What else Spines learns from
- Books you grab or pass on.
- Authors you already have two or more books by.
- Books you import from Goodreads or StoryGraph.
Your For You picks update as you go, so the next shelf you scan reflects the changes.
