Whichbook

Whichbook is a completely new way to find books you might like to read. Whichbook lets you build a description of the kind of books you like and then matches that description against the books in the database.

Your description can be built either on a choice of moods, or on specific plot elements. The books that most closely match your requirements are then returned as a list.

What a great site! I don't know if there is one like it in the US. I tried to connect to the openlibraries link, but it was under construction. How would an author connect to whichbook to suggest a title?

They have a feedback link on their site, guess you could send them an e-mail and ask them.

That's what your Kindle is for, silly!! You send a sample of the book to your Kindle -- and then, when you have time to start reading the sample (and you actually like it), you buy it then. Saves money over buying books in advance and never getting around to being in the right mood.
