Library web sites are almost always good places to start. Many brilliant librarians have already done much of the work for you.

 

Fiction Booklists (includes lists by subject/genre generated by members of CoRAZone and printable for patrons)

 

Nonfiction Booklists (includes lists by subject generated by members of CoRAZone and printable for patrons)

 

If you liked lists can be found on many websites. Also known as Read-alikes.

 

Publishers provide helpful lists, suggestions, and bookclub advice.

 

Bookstores are excellent sources of booklists for the Readers' Advisor.

 

Blogs will help with staying current with new or interesting titles.

 

Subscription Databases are also available for Readers' Advisors.

 

Gimmicky Fun Selection Sources are an interesting way to get the "computer" to select titles for patrons.

 

We will also be looking at Genre Fiction such as Romance, Historical Fiction, Science Fiction, Christian fiction, Mysteries etc.

 

Bookclubs can be a Readers' Advisory Service as well.
