May 2012

I just chose an author at random (Ken Follett), and found out that he has written books under several other names. I have read almost every book he has written, but none of the books written under the other names. This will be fun!

I might spend a lot of time playing over there!!!

My library used to have posters with "If you like _____, you might like _____" and I found several new authors this way. I wish they still did this. Maybe this site will help, but I am always skeptical of endorsements by authors---I have a feeling it is all about money and not so much about the excellence of the author or book.
