The website What Should I Read Next? is exactly what it sounds like.
Users enter a favourite book title or author, and the site’s database is mined for a “similar” option. What Should I Read Next? is community driven: readers add their own lists, which in turn generate the recommendations.
Although my TBR list is already monstrously long, I decided to give it a whirl.
I intentionally chose a less-than-common novel:
A Glastonbury Romance
These are the suggestions I received:
Results, Part 1
Results, Part 2
I’m not sure how helpful those suggestions are. Middling? Surprising? It really doesn’t matter, because I could do this all day. As a time-wasting game, it’s pretty fun. If my TBR list gains a few new entries, that is delicious, fluffy icing.
If you give it a go, please let me know your results!

That’s why I’m steering clear 🙂 My TBR mountain is about to topple 🙂

Mine toppled years ago. My solution was to say, “Screw it!” and keep piling ’em on!

Ah, that’s pretty much my bedside pile too… I never make any inroads these days.. one down, three more on top!

Same! I cannot read fast enough to make the pile go down.

I’m sort of down with that, though 🙂

THIS IS FABULOUS!!!! Thank you!
I’ve been entering all kinds of books and getting fascinating results – books I’ve never heard of or books I’d never consider reading. I’ve bookmarked this site for the next time I want something completely random to read. I love it!

You are welcome! When I come across a neat book-related site or product or “thing” I feel obligated to share it with everyone. 🙂
