Finding our next reads

We share how we find new books to read, strategies for managing our holds queues at the library, and what influences the kind of book we want to read next.

Links mentioned:

• Sarah and Abby on Goodreads
• Shelf Awareness and Maximum Shelf newsletters
• Booklist newsletters
• Reading the Past (for historical fiction)
• Smart Bitches Trashy Books (for romance)
• Tor (for science fiction and fantasy + good ebook deals)
• Libby (app) / Overdrive (web-based)
• Hoopla
• A note about the Nashville Public Library: Sadly, since we recorded they have decided not to offer library cards to folks outside of their area.
