lost a book site
 
I must have had a memory deletion, there was a book site I used where I could type in the authors name and get a listing of all their books and series. It even remembered your past searches so if you started typing David then David Eddings would pop up. I thought I had it in Favorites but it's gone and I just can't remember it's name. Any suggestions?

My "go to" site for finding out series information. Wonderful resource!

You might want to try the ISFDB site as well. I currently use it on a daily basis.:D

Thanks for the reminder on that site. It's been a long time since I looked at it. I see that they have forthcoming books. Most excellent!

I use Goodreads for that purpose, but I don't believe it remembers past searches.

I hadn't heard of Fantastic Fiction before - it looks like I great resource. I often use Goodreads for a similar thing but this is a little more stripped down - in a good way. Will definitely be using it for information from now on!

FictionDB.com is also a good site to use.

Unfortunately what "stripped down" means for me is "Some Australian and small press books that I read aren't in the database". Which is why I have ended up sticking with Goodreads!

Oh no! I checked a couple of smaller press books to see whether they had them, but I must just have been lucky in the ones I picked I guess. That is annoying. I use Goodreads all the time anyway so I think I'll just use this as a supplement.

The one that pops up when I do a Google of "Wiki author_name". :)

en.wikipedia.org
