Project 1 - Book Finder

User Story

When the user arrives on the Book Buddy application, they will see a header, brief introduction, and a dropdown menu of genres to select from. When the user selects a genre from the dropdown and clicks "Go!", a selection of books matching their selected genre will populate after a bit of loading time.

Each search result is contained on its own card and includes a cover of the book, the title, the first sentence, the number of page, and a button linking the user to an Amazon link to purchase.

If the user would like, there is a second filter option available. This second filter allows the user to choose a maximum number of pages for their selected genre. This way, the user can further limit their search results, making it easier to select their desired read.

Description

This book finder was built using HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Bulma.

As a book lovers, we wanted to create a simple, easy to navigate way to discover new books. The search results provide title, number of pages, the first sentence of the book, cover art, and a link to buy, making it the ideal tool to use when we want to quickly discover a new read.

As a book lover, I want to go to my Book Buddy application, select a preferred book genre, filter by number of pages, and see the titles of several books matching my filter criteria. Upon receiving my results, I want to easily be able to purchase one of my search results via an Amazon link.
