I am constantly on the look out for new books to add to my Amazon wish list. I rarely read a book that I haven't already read numerous reviews on or have had someone personally recommend to me. And I've found that the best way for me to find new books to read is either through Amazon or magazines.
My go-to magazines for books are typically Entertainment Weekly, People (for chick-lit), Time, and any of the other 5 magazines that appear in my inbox on a monthly/weekly basis. Another resource that I'm finding valuable is GoodReads.com. It's a combo social networking / book review site. People register books they've read, want to read, give reviews, and there's even a function that allows you to set up book swaps with people from across the US. I prefer to keep the books that I really like, so swapping books isn't really my thing - but I can see how people get into it.
ANYWAYS, here's a list of books that I'm really looking forward to reading (with a tiny description of each):
I Think I Love You / Allison Pearson
A young girl's obsession with David Cassidy
The Book Thief / Marcus Zusak
A story about a young German girl's relationship with her foster family, friends and books.
Before I Fall / Lauren Oliver
(Young Adult book) A popular, mean girl dies and gets to relive her last day and reflect on how she could have made better choices.
The Radleys / Matt Haig
A vampire family is trying to live a mainstream life (but their kids don't realize they're vampires, so it puts a kink in their plans.)
Call Me Irresistable / Susan Elizabeth Phillips
ROMANCE NOVEL! Best author in this genre! No description will do the book justice. Just go read it.
Blameless / Gail Carriger
3rd book in the Parasol Protectorate series (see earlier post)
