Tracy,
There are hundreds of new books coming in daily. They come from volunteers as
well as our our new publisher partners. Some publishers send in up to 100 books
a day.
To find what you like maybe you could search the catalog by category and sort
the results with the most recent titles at the top.

I don't try to keep up with new books, actually. Occasionally I'll skim the
new books page, but not very often anymore. Instead, I go searching by
category when I'm looking for something to read, or by author or keywords in
the title when I'm looking for something more general.
More often than not, though, I know what I want to read next, or what I need
to read for work, and I just search for that. Bookshare, BARD and other
sources all become a part of my search routine.

Sorry to be off-topic. Feel free to answer off-list, so as not to clutter

I am having a real problem keeping up with new books on Bookshare. I
don't have time to check every day, and, when I do, I look at 400-500 new
books, then I run out of steam. Do people have strategies for keeping up
with all the new books on Bookshare? I don't want to miss something
interesting, but there's so much!
Nice problem to have, though.
Tracy
