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

  1. Open More → Reading Preferences.
  2. Under Genres I Love or Genres to Avoid, tap Edit.
  3. Tick or untick genres, then tap Save.

Authors and books you love

  1. Open My Books → Loved.
  2. Choose Authors and tap + Add an author, or choose Books and tap + Add a book.
  3. 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.
