I included all the big ones (Hugo, Nebula, etc.) and also more obscure awards that I like such as SF Site Editor's choice. Once I had all the awards in there it was easy to start creating a New Book list based on award winning authors.

    All books mentioned on the recent Ask HN best books thread▲9

    I spent a lot of time going through the recent thread: Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read?

It gets the comments using the HN API, uses the Open AI API to extract book names, and then the Amazon API to find the book on Amazon.
