The main function of the api is the search endpoint, responsible for searching the books of your interest. You can also tag a book as a book, you own, love, or want to read and search by these tags too. Ideally these preferences are stored by user, but for the testing purposes of this exercise everyone is considered to be the same user (UserId = 1).
