**Description of your request or bug report:** I think it would be fun to have a ‘random book’ button in browse and the user library to help choose your next read. It would be great if it could pick a random book from your owned list, for example, or from a filtered selection of books in browse. **Trello link:** https://trello.com/c/IW2NR2fu.html ---

I think filters for such a functionality are a must. Maybe even after tags are implemented, so you can fine tune it and narrow it down to what you are looking for while keeping some randomness. ---

I feel like “random” would likely return stuff that you wouldn’t like 🤔 On top of the comment from @Megumin , I feel it would help to get, say, 10 random books, organized in a grid, rather than just one. ---

This I use it from time to time: ![imagen](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/8/84370900f0f168f0561671096d5feb64ffaad0c5.jpeg) So I think something similar might be useful. But as I mentioned, tags need to be there first. Otherwise it’s going to be too random. ---

If we’re going for filters, then number of books would be a good one for something like that ---

@bibliothecary I like this idea, reminds me of Google’s “I’m feeling lucky” 😆 Yeah agree with the others we probably need filters before such a feature makes sense, but it’s good to get it requested! Let’s approve as speculative. Edit: @暁のルナ that filter sounds useful but probably fit for another request 🙂 ---

> [@brandon](#): > > Edit: @lunacodes that filter sounds useful but probably fit for another request 🙂 That’s not really a filter, just a drop-down saying how many random suggestions you want to get at once, so it does fit the request, I think. ---

oh you’re right! I for some reason thought @暁のルナ was talking about number of volumes in a series… that’s what you get when you respond just after waking… ---

Ahhh glad that’s clarified… I was so confused for a moment 😅. I can see why you’d want an extra request for something like that tho. ---

@Megumin this is approved as speculative.
