Add book genre field

Open FinixFighter opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

It would be nice to have a "Genre" field, for specifying the book genre. It should be a multiple value, since for example we could have a book which is a "Fiction","Thriller" and "Mystery". Then, it would be quite easy to implement a filter to show books of a specific genre (or also additional kinds of statistics etc..)

Good idea, i think the open library API probably has some of this info too

Yes, it calls it "subjects". Theare are usually a lot of subjects for a book on OpenLibrary, but users can always edit them and leave just the preferred ones.
