I have way too many books to read on my list now!</p> <p>@mrbee: This is cool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2020619 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:55:04 +0000 MaryM 2020619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll occasionally mark stuff on goodreads. Otherwise I have a few friends whose recommendations I always like so I check with them. </p> <p>But really, I own enough books that I rarely come across a point where I don't have something that I could pick up and read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2020578 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:34:08 +0000 psw27 2020578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I use Goodreads or friends recommendations. Surprisingly, I think People magazine has good suggestions too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2020570 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:30:32 +0000 meredithNYC 2020570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find that visiting a good independent bookstore and getting recommendations from the staff is your best bet. In Brooklyn I love Book Court and in Manhattan, McNally Jackson in Nolita is my favorite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2020554 Mon, 12 Jan 2015 14:26:59 +0000 Bao 2020554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually ask friends! Goodreads also gives me recommendations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2008139 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 17:04:22 +0000 winter_wonder 2008139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I like Tanya French!

It's a flyer/magazine that comes out monthly. Most of the libraries I've been to have copies to take home. Otherwise I go to their website. <a href="http://bookpage.com" rel="nofollow">http://bookpage.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2008130 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 16:47:53 +0000 Skadi 2008130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read <i>The Bees</i> a few months ago, and I can second their recommendation. I'm actually reading <i>Shades of Milk and Honey</i> right now and, although it is no Jane Austen, it is "endlessly diverting." :)</p> <p>I'll have to check out <i>A Natural History of Dragons!</i> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2008127 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 16:44:31 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2008127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2008063 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 15:26:33 +0000 .twist. 2008063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually read recommended books/series. I do look on Goodreads to find their top books. </p> <p>That website is pretty cool! I'm going to add a few books to my to-read list!</p> <p>ETA: I added Fatale by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips &amp; The Dublin Murder Squad Series by Tana French to my to-read list! I hope they're good. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2008055 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 15:20:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2008055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nprs-book-concierge#post-2008038 Sat, 03 Jan 2015 15:01:29 +0000 mrbee 2008038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Came across this site... it's a pretty neat way to find book recommendations!</p> <p><a href="http://apps.npr.org/best-books-2014/" rel="nofollow">http://apps.npr.org/best-books-2014/</a></p> <p>I'm looking for new books to read...
