Recommended Daily Allowance of Books

I really like book recommendations…a lot. Can you tell?

How about you? Do you like getting lots of suggestions for new books to read? What sources do you like?

Here’s 2 new-to-me sites I’m trying:*

  • Last week I started getting the “Daily Dose” delivered to my email. The “Daily Dose” is from Powell’s Books (powells.com). It’s a contest and a service in one: “To enter, write a short review of any item on Powells.com that you think we should tell Daily Dose subscribers about.”
  • Today I read about “The Book Calendar.” It introduces “you to a different book everyday!”

And, for a monthly set of suggestions, try the Libraries’ BookNews newsletters. You can read them online, have them sent to your email each month (around the 15th), or subscribe to them by RSS.

*I read about both of these on LISNews.org: here and here.
