What is a randomiser? The link just leads me to a string of alphanumeric.

MJ | 1613 comments Hmmm, I tried again about 10 times and it kept leading me to random books... as you might have guessed ;)

Problem is, they truely are RANDOM in the largest sense of the word. Bizarre titles and not one of them had a rating or review.

Is this just a string of bad luck? Were you getting anything that might come close to interesting?

It should bring up a random book page.

I get a wide range of stuff, some with no ratings or shelvings, some with dozens or thousands.

Yes, they do seem completely random.

MJ | 1613 comments Cool, thx. I’ll keep trying. It’s a great idea. I’ve ended up reading heaps of random books to cover challenges and enjoyed trying outside my norms. This should be similar
:)

Dee (austhokie) | 638 comments yep i've seen it before - we used it as a basis for the reading challenge last year - you had to read a book that shared a word with one in a title of a book you got at random
