OneBookList is a platform dedicated to sharing book recommendations with personal stories. It focuses on the concept of asking people to recommend just one book that truly changed their life, creating a curated collection of meaningful reading suggestions.

The platform allows users to browse books sorted by recency, likes on their stories, or story count. Users can explore books across various categories including Fantasy, Personal development, Biographies & Memoirs, Business & Leadership, Fiction & Literature, Guides, History & Politics, Mindfulness & Mental health, Personal finance, Sci-fi, and Tech & Computer Science. Each book listing includes cover images and affiliate links to Amazon or Audible.

Users submit books by signing in with Google and clicking "Add a story." They share their one life-changing pick and the personal story behind it. While users can add multiple books, only one can be marked as "the one" that changed their life the most. All submissions are reviewed by admins who add covers and affiliate links.

The platform provides a way to discover books that come with authentic personal recommendations rather than generic lists. It creates a community-driven collection where each book has a meaningful story attached, helping readers find books that have genuinely impacted others' lives.

The target audience includes readers looking for meaningful book recommendations beyond traditional lists. The platform integrates with Google for authentication and uses Amazon and Audible affiliate links for book purchases.
