I have started looking, each week, at the New York Times Book Review section. I look at it through the online Newsline version. Not only are there individual reviews, but there are also lists of books that are recommended, both hard cover and paperback, and best seller lists. When I see a book in which I might be interested, or when I hear about one on NPR or from someone, I search for it on Bookshare. It's usually there.

I am sorry to say that I am having trouble finding new and interesting books to read. I have tended to be a user of the New Books List; however because that list also lists so many professional titles and educational titles which I am glad to see Book Share providing, I am having difficulty finding new fiction. Does anyone know of published lists of new and good books for pleasure reading. I may not have all the techniques of searching the BookShare collection; but I am feeling a little as though with publisher inputting to the system, Book Share itself is losing control over how we can find things. Maybe what we need is "New Book" catagories instead of that one huge list of everything which comes in.. I'd like to be able to look for New Mysteries, New Biographies, New fiction and nonfiction. I feel as though we are getting a lot of republishing of old titles; and I find it confusing. Any suggestions or techniques others may find helpful would be extremely helpful to me. I just don't know what I am missing in use of Advanced Search. If I use some of the catagories, I get lists which are in Alpha order without the ability to move to other letters of the alphabet easily. I love and appreciate Book Share dearly, but am feeling I will need to weigh the benefits versus cost if finding material continues to be sodifficult. Anyhelp offered will be greatly appreciated.
