On Goodreads, I recommended The Shadow of the Wind to Joe Patron.
On the Library Newsletters, I subscribed to the following:
LFPL E-News
Fiction Bestsellers
New Fiction
I will probably be signing up for more. I have a lot of patrons at Shively who are very dedicated to certain authors. They seem to know ages in advance when someone has a new release. While I may not be able to play quite the same game, these news letters will at least keep me more well informed than I am right now.
Because I love literary thrillers, I was pretty happy to see a section just for those on Novelist. There were several recommendations that I have already read, but many more that I plan on reading in the future (Sherlockian by Graham Moore, for example). Tools like Novelist are amazingly helpful. No one reads everything. I read some history and biography, and that is about it for me and nonfiction. I am pretty specific about the type of books that I enjoy. With tools like Novelist, you can make a recommendation for anyone regardless of what you really enjoy reading. I also use the website "Fantastic Fiction". I enjoy that most author pages list the author's recommendations for similar books or authors.
