Want to Know More About Some Cool Books?

Courtesy of "All Things Excellent" guru Sarah Batt: Click on a book title to learn more about that book, read reviews from other readers, and even check out some OTHER books readers of that book like. For example, if you loved "Gregor the Overlander", click on that title and see what other books people have read who also loved "Gregor", like "Charlie Bone", "The Ravenmaster's Secret", "The Prophet of Yonwood", or "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh".

There are even discussions amongst other avid readers about "Flowers for Algernon" (or any other book you could think of) that you can read. If you thought "Into Thin Air was a great non-fiction read about mountaineering, see what other non-fiction reads are out there that are along the same lines, in this case, "The Climb", "Left for Dead: My Journey Home From Everest", or "Ghosts of Everest".

If you've read, for example, "A Northern Light", click on the author's name and see what else Jennifer Donnelly has written, like "The Tea Rose", or "Humble Pie".

There is much more to see and learn. Hopefully that whets your appetite.

This is all on a pretty sweet site, www.librarything.com. EXPLORE!
