Monthly New Book Lists

 
 

NoveList Plus

NoveList Plus is the premier readers' advisory database, offering descriptions of hundreds of thousands of fiction and nonfiction books. You can find recommendations by searching by author, title, theme, genre, and time period. Through NoveList's Appeal Mixer, users can find books with certain blends of storylines, tones, writing styles, and characters. NoveList also provides book group discussion guides, genre outlines, and award lists. And with NoveList K-8 Plus, children's books are placed front and center with all of the same great features!

NoveList is available at the library and also everywhere you go just by entering your library card number.

 

What Should I Read Next?

Looking for book suggestions? This site lets you type in a favorite author to generate a list of similar writers and works. If the reference librarian isn't available, this is the next best thing for book recommendations!

 

Fantastic Fiction

Looking for an author's work in its entirety? This great website is for fiction only, and the best place to see all of an author’s series, including upcoming publications.  Please note that the library may not own all of the books included on this site.  But, we'd be happy to get them for you!
