If You Like . . .

Do you have a favorite author?  One that you are just WAITING for their newest title to be available?  I have several (perhaps more than several, but we won’t go there right now).  So, what do you read when the newest Louise Penny book isn’t due to be released for a few more months, or maybe you’re FINALLY caught up on Sue Grafton’s Alphabet Series, and since she has passed away, you just have no idea what to read next!

Have we got an idea for you!  We have created several lists of suggestions.  “IF you like . . . ___ You might like~” lists or bookmarks are currently on display at the library.

No, we don’t have suggestions for EVERY author out there, but we have many of the most often requested authors and some suggestions of new to you (and me) authors.

An example ~

Louise Penny has a new Armand Gamache book coming out later this year, but I want it NOW!!!!  What or who can I find to read until then??  I’ll check my handy list!  There are 16 authors on the list.  The thought behind the list, is that there is some similarity between Louise Penny and one of these authors.  Perhaps he or she writes a detective series ; or maybe the characters are part of a small town community ; or there is a connection to Canada ; or ; or; or . . .

Whatever the “or”, I now have several new authors to try.  I may find someone I love, I may find a new series, or I might find something that, to me, is a dud.  No matter what I find, I now have an opportunity to select someone new, find a new author and make a new friend.

Enjoy, and Happy Reading!
