ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Readers' advisory

Okay, let's imagine you're in a library and you want to find a good book to read. You might ask the librarian for help, and that's called "readers' advisory". The librarian will ask you questions about what kinds of books you like, what you've read before, and what you want to read about. Then they'll give you some recommendations, or suggestions, for books to try. It's like a personal shopper for books! The librarian wants to make sure you find a book you'll love, so they ask lots of questions and use their knowledge of different books to help you choose. And if you don't like the first book they suggest, they'll keep trying until you find one that you really enjoy.
