 For Book Lovers ~ A Reader's
Advisory
Readers' Advisory is
about matching a reader with
his or her next good book. The
resources below can help connect
you to your next author, title,
series, or topic.
Book Lists
One of our favorites is the annual
listing by the American
Library Association. Each
year the ALA picks 25 notable
books for adults published that
year.
We also find ourselves continually
reading, recommending or discussing
books on the Modern
Library's list of best novels
and non-fiction. Editors' and
readers' recommendations are
provided (400 total).
