Just a gentle reminder that you can find as many (if not more) great books to read on the backlist, as on the bestsellers list.This blog, Shelfrenewal, was started by Karen Kleckner and Rebecca Vnuk, a couple of librarians (and readers advisory experts) in the Chicago metro area, who felt kind of sorry for all those neglected books that weren't on the front burner of media attention anymore (if they ever were to begin with). Plus, like most librarians I know (myself included), they were really excited about the idea of letting readers know about some seriously overlooked books.
So (though this pains me as a person who wants to sell books), I hope this site will help you find some really interesting gems you might not otherwise know about.
(Sigh. Like I didn't have enough choices already??)
