I have found that NPR allows you to browse a large list of genres for suggestions. It also has author interviews and reviews of books.
The customers at RE really like the new stuff. They enjoy the new popular fiction and like to look at the new book cart before we can shelve it. I find that reading "People" helps to give me a heads up on what our customers may ask for. Some customers even bring in their list of books that they saw on the Best Sellers list. Even though they like the new material, they are willing to read something older if it is recommended by us. As a whole, I can say that we have a diverse group of readers whose interests vary from person to person. I like that "Early Words" includes "People Magazines Book Review Index". I find that I will probably use this again.
The anticipated title for 2013 that I choose was "Fly Away" by Kristin Hannah. It is expected to be popular because it is a sequel to "Firefly Lane" and should appeal to readers of the original title. It is a slow paced book of families, friendship and life experiences.
