+## Project choices and reasoning
+
+A choice we have made is to drop creating a favorites page where only books that you have
+saved as a favorite would be shown in a grid similar to the one on the "front page" ("search page").
+We made this choice because we found that the API did not support fetching multiple
+specific books at once, which would have required an unnecessarily large number of API calls to
+achieve this without saving data - something the project description specified that we should not do.
+
+Another choice we have made is to include some external icons. All of these
+are found on [https://lucide.dev/icons](https://lucide.dev/icons), which is a well-known open-source icon library.
+We think this is a nice addition to the plain CSS the app is otherwise built with.
