Want help picking a new book?

The first place to look might be the first blog post on this page.  You friends are writing down the books they are reading now.  Browse through what they have to say about their books.  There are also lots of really good websites that you can use to help you find a book.

One good website to use is Good Reads  it will give you lots of useful information about the novels you are curious about.  People also post their comments/opinions about the novel there as well.  The editors are really good about including the words "Spoiler Alert"  so that the book is never ruined for you. 

Another good place to look is Novelist. Remember, this is the place we looked at with Mrs. Werner in the LC?  You can search for books, but you can also start with a book that you like and click on "Title Read-Alikes" or "Author Read-Alikes" for books that are similar.  How cool is that?  I hope that the link works, but Novelist is a website that we pay for, so I don't know if you can get there with just a link.  If not, just go to the virtual library, click on quick links, and go to the Novelist area in the middle of the page.
