Crowdsourced Book Suggestions
want to contribute? join my newsletter!
Looking for a good read from people you can trust? The fantastic people on my newsletter list are dedicated readers, and they send me lots of suggestions for quality reads. I wanted to share them here on my website so that they are readily accessible whenever you are struggling to find something good! There is so much available, especially via ebook, that it's hard to know if something is going to be worth our time. And even making allowances for personal taste, even if you don't care for a certain book/author/genre, none of these will be bad books, for sure. Because they're offered up with love and enthusiasm by people just like you and me.
Forgive me if the below table is a mess, because I'm experimenting with different ways to organize the suggestions. Also, there may be affiliate links in here, where there are purchase options. Don't worry, the affiliate links don't cost you anything; they earn me a few cents from the store if you make a purchase, and they help me to learn which stores you get your books from. Please try your local library app, also! With older books you may be able to get copies more quickly than with newer releases.
Note that you can search in the search box for genres, authors, etc. Also, you can filter the order of the entries with the up and down arrows next to the column titles.
