I admit to being confused as well. I read nonfiction too, but never have
trouble finding both fiction and nonfiction, and have never used the
advanced search.
Honestly? I am pretending I did not just read terry's name. I might read
24 hours a day just going through those laughs.

I don't see what the problem is. Just go to the advanced search and check the fiction category or the fiction categories you are interested in and specify the sort order to be by date added and there is your list of fiction from most recent at the top to the oldest at the end of the list.

I used to find loads too, but not for the past few days. Maybe the
companies which are dumping will be done for a while, and we can get back
to getting good books. It's okay if you know the book or author you want,
but new books? Forget it.

Well, speaking only for myself, I have no issues finding loads of fiction
at Bookshare.
for me nls and bookshare can work in harmony as I find items in one that I
do not find in the other. further nls does not provide text and bookshare
does.
still, your idea of fiction and mine may be different. likewise our
methods of searching.
