Coolest Thing Ever...For book lovers...

So you type in your favorite books, and they give you a list of new books that you should like based on your past reads...Very Cool!





I Typed in some of my favorite books:

Dealing with Dragons-Patricia C. Wrede

Uglies-Scott Westerfeld

Princess Academy - Shannon Hale

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - JK Rowling

Then I got this HTML listing:


The WhatShouldIReadNext.com website suggests items you might like reading based on real readers' recommendations.
These
were the results:

THE SILVER CHAIR. (Check)
- CS. Lewis

Wicked Lovely
- Melissa Marr

Prince Caspian (Check)
- CS Lewis; Pauline Baynes
Talking to Dragons (Check...loved this one)
- C. Wrede Patricia
Among the Imposters (Love this series...haven't read this one yet)
- Margaret Haddix
THE CHRONICALS OF NARNIA (Check)
- C S LEWIS
Tantalize
- Cynthia Leitich Smith
High Wizardry
- Diane Duane
Alt Ed
- Catherine Atkins

Charlotte's Web (Check)
- EB White; Garth Williams



I have already read some of these, but there are some new ones that I am looking forward to trying out! You should give it a try!



Another really interesting one for literature is Literature-Map.com Enter the name of your favorite Author and you'll get a display of writers' names, with your pick at the center. The idea: The closer a name sits to your favorite author, the greater likelyhood that you'll enjoy that authors work.
