Thank you! I'm an avid reader and have two library cards for ebooks — one uses Libby and the other SimplyE. If find that SimplyE has a larger selection of books than Libby, though sometimes I can manage to grab something on Libby that won't be available for over six months or something on SimplyE. I find book recommendations hard, though. I tend to be a really literary reader, though sometimes I like junk.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing that, Russ. I just tried out a couple of suggested phrases in that search engine ("Books about people whose hobbies develop sentience," and "Slice of life stories but everyone can read minds during meetings,") and already found a good new book recommendation! Thanks for the link!
Thank you for taking the time to create this. This is a wonderful resource and quite frankly, definitely in the top five emails. I’ve gotten in 2025.
Bookshop.org is a great way to buy online and support your local independent bookstore.
Agreed. Good alternative to Amazon. Thanks, Paul.

Check out this "book search engine" > https://en.app/
Works really well for finding new books like others you've enjoyed in the past

The VERY last people I will take advice from are Celebrities. The vast majority are out of touch and full subscribe to group-think.
