DB Suitability: SQL or NoSQL

I have seen the question be asked a lot but I am genuinely stuck on this decision, anything would be appreciated. Thanks
As I understand it in NoSQL you avoid making joins or querying different documents to piece data to together. With my data I have my books. Which i want to searched by: title, category, collection, author, and subjects(eventually). So as I understand i would create collection for everyone of those? But then i will users as well and they will have a lists of their books: read, un-read and maybe custom ones as well. So would i end up copying the data of the books into documents, make nested documents? But the data as it linked below is ~10MB approx.
