bOOK rECOMMENDATIONS

Having trouble finding a book you like? 

Everyone has difficulty selecting a book to read sometimes. Even the best readers find themselves re-reading books rather than exploring new ones.  When librarians or teachers recommend books, they often start by asking about the last book that you read that you really liked (or movie or TV show). Unfortunately, that's not an easy question for most. So, what can we do about it?

The websites below use many different systems for finding a book you might like. Try one that may help you find your next favorite book. If the first one doesn't work for you - try another one! You'll be glad you did! 

Book recommendations from local librarians.

Goodreads is awesome. It's a social networking site by and for readers, but you do not have to join to use it. It focuses on reader recommendations. 

Add writers you like and get recommendations of other authors. It's very easy to use, and it might be my favorite for finding something new. (Gnooks also has a music application that I highly recommend.)

Recommends books by what you're in the mood for. You can look for books by Mood & Emotion, Character & Plot, where the book takes place, and other things that interest you!
