Tip the Librarian
Found Your Perfect Book? Say Thanks! 📚
Just like tipping your favorite barista or leaving a note for an exceptional librarian, this is a way to say "thank you" for recommendations that hit the mark.
Why Tips Help Everyone
Keep Our Service Free
Your optional tips help us maintain and improve our recommendation service without charging users or compromising our editorial independence. No subscription fees, no premium tiers—just great recommendations for everyone.
Support Our Mission
Every tip helps us:
- Expand our curated book database
- Refine our mood-matching process
- Keep our recommendations unbiased and honest
- Maintain the personal, human touch you love
Show Appreciation for Great Matches
When a recommendation changes your week (or your month!), a small tip is a perfect way to let us know we got it right. Your feedback—and your gratitude—keeps us motivated to find the perfect book for every mood.
How Much Should I Tip?
Whatever feels right to you! Here are some suggestions:
$2 - "Thanks, that was helpful!"
Perfect for when we found you something good to read. Like buying your librarian a coffee.
$5 - "You nailed it!"
Great for when our recommendation was exactly what you needed. You saved time and found something you love.
$10 - "This book changed my week!"
For those magical moments when we connected you with something truly special—the kind of book you'll recommend to all your friends.
$20+ - "I'm your biggest fan!"
For readers who want to make sure this service stays available for everyone. You're helping us build something special.
Remember: Tips are always optional and never expected. We're genuinely happy when you find a great book, whether you tip or not.
