You may have seen the Topics Tracker in the Book Scout app. If you haven't allow me to introduce it to you:

The Topics Tracker allows you to give it words or phrases you care about. Then every time you visit a book for analysis, it takes those words/phrases and asks AI:

Hey, are these items found within this book?

— Book Scout, probably

Then you get a very smart and powerful reply letting you know if those topics are found within the book you're looking at.

These might be topics you’re especially drawn to—the ones you love seeing in books.

Think like:

• Dragons
• Found family
• Unlikely friendships
• Epic battles
• Court room drama

And these topics can also be things that you may not like:

• Characters who are Mary Sue
• Toxic parents
• Gore
• Torture
• (insert any hot button topic)

It will also let you know if those topics are present within a book.

These topics don't represent who you are as a reader, but more so they're just a list of topics that matter to you for one reason or another.

Whether you're on the hunt for dragons or dodging dystopian torture scenes, the Topics Tracker helps you spot the things that matter to you. It goes beyond surface-level themes, giving you sharper, more personalized insight every time you browse a book. Try it out next time you’re book hunting—you might find your next favorite (or avoid your next DNF).
