This is a recommender system that lets you enter a paranormal romance book and get back a list of 20 hair metal songs as a soundtrack. I looked around for an app or website that would let a reader create a playlist based on a book, but there weren’t any. Every recommender I found stayed within the same mediums: book to book, music to music, etc. So I thought I’d have some fun and create my own.

This project will incorporate pieces from several other repos dealing with book data to build a personal library. I have a large personal library that includes books, ebooks, and audiobooks. For several years, I’ve used a free program called Calibre to manage my ebooks. Recently, I’ve thought about including my audiobooks and physical books, as well, but I’m still trying to find the best way to include everything I want.

My grandson asked me about setting up a webpage or app with a dashboard for NCAA or NBA stats.

Data For this project, I scraped data from basketball-reference since it had a table with MVP data that was easier to scrape.
