Whats your happy place? This is Mine. On the beach with a great book.
But its hard to find those great books. The ones that really matter.
The Problem is getting worse!
Indie Publishing phenomena
500% growth in # of books published in last 5 years
Publishers arent the gatekeeper anymore
Heres how we find great books youd never find on your own.
Authors you love
Books youve read
Publications you like
Things youre interested in
=> Books! (and book news!)
My recommendations page. I like Spy novels and historical fiction.
Tightrope, cool new spy novel, written about in the Seattle Times.
Topical book-related news, like that GRRM is late with Winds of Winter.
Stories often mention books together if you liked Game of Thrones youll like The Iron King by Druon (in fact GRRM himself recommends it). These co-occurrences become a factor in recommendations.
