"A book recommendation is more than a casual suggestion," says Oyster in an email announcement to media, "It's a personal invitation -- from one person to another -- to share knowledge, stories, and experiences."
Book Lists are available to all Oyster subscribers and can be accessed through a user's profile page. Users can browse the most popular Book Lists on Oyster to discover titles or view specific lists created for them by their friends and family. Oyster has integrated these lists with the reading experience, allowing users to dive into a title directly from a Book List.
