Points: 5

What I meant was:

There will be a sidebar on the left of the page with a list of genres where if you click one it will show you ALL books from the API that have that genre

Testing criteria:

Clicking a genre shows books of that genre

Definition of done:

Clicking a genre shows books of that genre

Read through the Google Books API docs to see how this could be implemented. It looks like you can search volumes by subject https://developers.google.com/books/docs/v1/using#WorkingVolumes

I didn't see any endpoint to get the book API list of subjects unfortunately and I found this Stack Overflow post about it when I googled. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48660015/how-to-get-list-of-categories-in-google-books-api

The answer at the bottom had good info. It pointed to this google Support doc that explains where they got their subject list from (BISAC) https://support.google.com/books/partner/answer/3237055?hl=en#:~:text=mature%20audiences%20only.-,Subject%20or%20Genres,-Select%20one%20subject

https://www.bisg.org/complete-bisac-subject-headings-list

I am going to see if there is an API that exposes the BISAC list.
