Hey all! Thanks for the introductions and hope to hear from the rest of you soon. Feel free to introduce yourself in the comments section, if you havent' already. So I know a few of you are still debating what to add to the book club jar. Never fear - here are some websites to help:Book Lust
booklust.wetpaint.com
The world's most famous librarian - Nancy Pearl - started a site to not only list books she recommends for clubs, but lets others post what they recommend.
NY Times
www.nytimes.com/pages/books
Check out the book section. They list bestsellers and staff reviews for whatever is hot off the press.
Barnes and Noble
www.barnesandnoble.com/
Go to the index on the left hand side of the page. Scroll down until you see the "Special Features" header. There are several helpful links under that - Book clubs, great new writers, new releases, etc...
Amazon User Book Lists
www.amazon.com
Okay, I'm not sure if they have a directory of lists, but I do know you can bring up a book you like on the website. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page, where it should show a link to any lists other people who liked that book placed it on. Say for example, that I look up "Pride and Prejudice" At the bottom of the page are lists titled: "fav fab books" or "Books to cozy up with on a rainy day " amonst others. I can click on those lists and see what other books someone else who likes Pride and Prejudice recommends.
