[CC] Can We Trust the Story Graph’s Book Recommendations?

I tested The Story Graph's book recommendations features to see if they're *actually* good. In this reading vlog, I let The Story Graph pick my TBR and read four books from their Onboarding reading challenge and review them.

*Doing some research, it looks as if Mafalda's video *is* the original. But both came out around the same time. They're about two weeks apart lol
