What are YOU reading this summer?

If you’re like me, you get frustrated deciding what to read from the hundreds and thousands of wonderful books out there. Well, we’ve got something that will help. Turn to our Books & Reader’s Advisory databases! There are several wonderful databases that you can search through for help in deciding what to choose.

Click on Fiction Connection where you can do a specific search by title, author, topics or ISBN. OR you can explore topics, genres, settings, characters, locations and timeframes. When you click any of the exploration areas, you’ll get a huge list. Click on any item within the lists and you’ll get a great, long variety of book titles that fit your specifications. So, if you’re wanting to read that trashy romance novel this summer, click on Genre, then Romance and voila! A long list of romance novels that will meet your, ahem, desires.

You can also click on Good Reads, a collection of lists created by Austin Public Library Librarians. You know they’re good if a Librarian picks them out. There are lists of Notable Books, Lists put together personally by our Librarians, great links to Reader’s Tools and, if you want to read with others, links to local, online and teen book clubs!

This summer can’t be beat if you use our Books & Reader’s Advisory databases in choosing YOUR perfect book. Enjoy!
