Finding Good Books


One of my excellent sources of good reads (for myself and for library patrons) is Bas Bleu,
champion of the odd little book ...
Of course, when trying to outwit the demand that will eventually hit our library ... this week or next month ... The New York Times Book Review (and the bestsellers lists), is a must. Other great sources are BookSense, the website for independent book stores (it becomes IndieBound.org on July 1, 2008. and Bookpage. Other great sources for demand from patrons is Oprah Magazine's book lists - here are the Summer Books 2008, and NPR's lists, including the Summer Reads 2008.
