If you're yet to use a book recommendation search engine like itcher, your reading life is about to be turned upside down (in a very good way!).

When you're a bookworm, reading is second nature.

Any moment spent without a book nearby feels odd, worryingly odd, and often you'll find yourself wondering when you can next slouch into your comfy chair and delve into a new book.

The only time your life as a bookworm can be problematic is when you feel as though you've run out of books to read.

Sometimes it's not even that there isn't enough books out there (there's plenty) it's just difficult to know which book to read.

And this, my fellow book lovers, is where itcher steps in.

What is itcher?

itcher is a recommendations app that gets to know what sort of books you like by allowing you to rate any books you've read. Simply rate 5 books whether you loved them or hated them, and itcher will spring into action.

From there, it's algorithm links you to like-minded people in order to generate community-powered recommendations.

And, because itcher's brain is incredibly clever, you'll find you love the books that are recommended to you.

Think of itcher as being like a friend who know your taste in books better than you do, always on hand ready to recommend something new.

Do I Have Time to Read More Books?

Of course you do!

Reading, even if only for 15 minutes, whisks you away from your everyday life into something much more compelling.

We're not saying book life is better than real life (although sometimes it is), but taking half an hour out of your day to satisfy your literary appetite is beneficial in more than one way.

What Are the Benefits of Reading More Books?

Firstly, relaxation.

Relaxation time doesn't count if you're just flicking through tabs on your iPad.

Sure, it's some much needed down time, but sometimes we need to switch off in order to relax. More books to read means more relaxation.

You can't argue with that can you?

Another great thing about reading more books is the aquring of knowledge in the most bizarre topics. What it's like growing up with a chimp, what life was like during the wars, what it was like to grow up in the 1980s - books offer up so much niche, compelling knowledge.

John Green's 'Looking For Alaska', for example, will leave you with a catalogue of famous last words.

You never know how a book is going to educate you, but more often than not it does.

Not only that, but the more books you read, the more fun you'll have chatting to someone who also reads a lot of books. Chances are, you will have more common ground with the more bookish members of society and let's face it, those are the best people to talk to.

Okay, I'm Sold. I Want to Read More Books!

We knew you'd come round. Books are just too addictive!
