The two ladies who run the site just had a book out this year called Beyond Heaving Bosoms,which I highly recommend(particularly if you possess an offbeat and adult sense of humor)<br /><br /> My latest fav is Awful Library Books,a site that's been getting a lot of love lately for good reason. Oh,and there's a webcomic called Unshelved,which is a hilarious look at libraries and for their Sunday strips,they do a full length book recommendation.lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-25494881739761505972009-12-11T08:30:50.109-06:002009-12-11T08:30:50.109-06:00Love Bookmarks.

Oddly enough, aside from reading Amazon's Omnivoracious and a ton of other book blogs, I tend to get my book recommendations from book stores themselves - just by browsing around. . . <br />I checked out a few of those sites, though.
