Book Roulette is a Chrome Extension that shows you a new, hopefully interesting, book each time you open a tab. It also shows you a few recent articles from around the web that mention the book.<p>There are a few other Chrome extensions out there that do this. 100 Million Books, for instance, is very nice. The reason I don&#x27;t care for it is the books are completely random, and often super esoteric.<p>Book Roulette uses the backed from the book recommendation engine The Hawaii Project which scans over a thousand book review websites to see what people are talking about. Book Roulette pulls from the more popular books on a given day so the results are likely to be topical some way.<p>Enjoy! (It&#x27;s free, but the Amazon and Bookshop links are wired to my affiliate account so if you buy I do get a commission).
