Overall, this appears to be a learning project for a middle schooler and his dad as well as a way for them to cover costs through affiliate links. While this might be a fun and useful way to discover new books, you should read the reviews and cross-reference your findings with parental or specialty groups like teachclean.com if you are concerned about the subject matter.

Yes. Thanks for sharing this. We have not even put any affiliate links. As you rightly pointed out - this is purely a learning project and at the same time a way to help others who were having the same issue as me (spending lot of time identifying good books to read).

Ah, I was mistaken. I noticed that the links were tagged with "ref=" codes, but I looked it up and apparently "tag=" is for referral codes on Amazon.

thank you for that answer, I will look..
