What’s your happy place? This is Mine. On the beach with a great book.
But it’s hard to find those great books. The ones that really matter.
The Problem is getting worse!
Indie Publishing phenomena

Publishers aren’t the gatekeeper anymore
Here’s how we find great books you’d never find on your own.

Things you’re interested in
=> Books! (and book news!)
My recommendations page. I like Spy novels and historical fiction.
Tightrope, cool new spy novel, written about in the Seattle Times.
Topical book-related news, like that GRRM is late with Winds of Winter.
Stories often mention books together – if you liked Game of Thrones you’ll like The Iron King by Druon (in fact GRRM himself recommends it). These co-occurrences become a factor in recommendations.
