It works well if you remember book titles and author names more than genres and plot points.

Separate your books by author: contemporary or classic
Organising your books by contemporary or classic is useful if you have a diverse collection of old and new books.
You can define contemporary and classic as you desire, for example, living and deceased authors, books written before and after a certain date, or books published in specific periods.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
