Bookstore Backend Application

This project is a server-side application for an online bookstore, where users can view books, search for specific books, and manage book reviews. The application is built using Node.js and Express.js, and it provides RESTful APIs for different operations. Authentication and authorization are implemented using session and JWT to ensure that only logged-in users can perform certain actions.
