Overbooked

http://www.overbooked.org/

Today's site, created by librarian and bibliophile Ann Chambers
Theis back in the mid-nineties, is a splendid collection of
booklists, reviews and all-round what's-good-to-read information.
Readers thinking
about curling up with a cozy selection of enjoyable reading
material to tide them over until spring, will find the site a
haven of great suggestions.

"A web site for ravenous readers. Overbooked specializes in
literary and genre fiction information. Overbooked Originals
include author web pages, annotated lists of nonfiction, fiction
and mystery books which received starred reviews, themed
booklists, featured titles lists and hot lists of hard cover US
fiction releases. Check out the newish Author Connections - A
special section for authors to communicate information to readers
looking for good books and what to read next." - from the website

The site provides a wealth of reference material to keep up to
date with the latest offerings from the publishing world. Among
its features are lists of first novels and short story
collections and specialized
recommendations -- for readers who enjoyed "The DaVinci Code";
"African American Stars"; and authors who died during the
previous year, for example. Within its extensive resources are
links to even more information, such as authors' websites.
