You Asked, We Answered!
Question: Do you have some tool I can use to figure out what I should read next?
Answer: Yes! Give Novelist Plus a try. It's free with your library card and available 24/7.
You can search for a book, author or series that you love and then you can click on read-alikes to see if there are new books, authors or series to explore! You can also search by appeal, genre or theme, which helps readers find titles that are more their style.
There are also recommended reading lists that you can sort based on interest or age group. Our librarians love NoveList and we hope you do too!
