How to Find Great Books to Read

We all love that feeling of tearing through an awesome book and the bittersweet feeling when you finally reach the last page. It’s nice to have a queue of good books lined up, so you can sustain that reading momentum when you finish a great one. If you’re having trouble finding solid reads to add to your list, try these tips for finding good books.

Ask an Expert

There are people out there who dedicate their lives to books. Why not turn to one of these experts for a little inspiration? Your first stop should be your local library – yes that archaic temple to actual, physical books. Librarians possess degrees especially in literature and library science and are likely to have more than a few titles in mind based on your reading tastes. Check out www.librariandegree.org/ for more information about the skills librarians possess. You can also stop by your local independent bookshop. Most employees here are book lovers by nature and there’s likely someone on staff who likes similar titles as you do.

Read Book Blogs and Book Reviews

Besides Book & Movie Dimension a Blog, there are many other blogs and media sources that chronicle good book titles. Some blogs like Bookslut, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and “The New York Times’” ArtsBeat cover all types of books. Other blogs specialize in a particular area, such as fantasy or young adult.
