How do you find your next read?

Congratulations to last week's raffle winner, Gail T! Enjoy your treats! 😀


And congrats again to Lisa S., who stopped by to pick up her raffle bag and take a victory photo!

With just under three weeks left (where has the time gone?!), we're up to 2501 books read by 266 participants. Great job, everyone!

These numbers are from Monday morning, so they've certainly gone up since then.

How do you find your next read?

First of all—how do librarians find their next reads?! It depends on who you ask! Carrie listens to podcasts like Currently Reading and What Should I Read Next? As for me, I catalog every adult book that the library orders... so you can imagine how long my TBR list has gotten. For a similar experience, you can sign up for our weekly Wowbrary new books newsletter. For author and book read-alikes, NoveList is our go-to tool (and you can use it, too!)


NPR's Books We Love is a classic resource for the best-of-the best, as is the New York Times Best Sellers list. You may have noticed we took down the Best Sellers list when we repainted—it will be going back up soon!


If you're looking for a new favorite author, one of my favorite—and most unique—tools is Literature Map. Type in an author's name, and the site will generate a cloud of similar authors for you to try.


Not sure what the new BookTok thing is about? Vox takes a deep dive into how BookTok makes money, while NPR provides a neat overview with examples.
