Sona

Sona is an AI book recommendation assistant that sits inside Read This Twice, a website of verified book recommendations. It introduces itself as a book loving assistant and uses its knowledge of books to suggest a fitting read based on what a reader says they want. The job it does is simple: it turns a loosely worded request into a specific title to pick up next. Readers type a description of their mood or interest into the Ask Sona box on the page. The example prompts span fiction and nonfiction, including dystopian novels, fantasy, science fiction, mystery and romance, as well as topics such as the history of yoga, the science of happiness, the psychology of persuasion, the social impact of technology, healthy relationships and the history of the U.S. Civil Rights movement. It suits general readers who want a starting point without browsing long lists, and anyone who would rather describe a feeling or subject than search by author or genre. Sona works alongside the rest of Read This Twice, which also offers sections for books, people and libraries, along with author pages, book series, Books Like This, quotes and a guide to BookTube. The site is available in Spanish and Russian as well as English, and it takes part in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, so links to Amazon may earn the site a fee. The Sona page does not state a price, and it does not say whether an account is required to ask for recommendations. A Sign in link appears in the site navigation, but the page does not explain what signing in adds.
