Issues and Contribution

I wanted to read books with less pages and good ratings of a particular author, and I am super lazy to do it manually for all the books, that is undeniable. So python is here for the rescue.

If you have an issue, put up one, I will do it. Or if you have already done it, make a PR, happy to get you in.
