Obviously if it’s a big name the results are predictable, but I’ve found some amazing books this was (especially through illustrators). I also like like looking at independent children’s book publishers of other nations... Canada, Australia etc. Niche publishers can have great books too, even if you nominally aren’t part of their target audience, such as Waldorf publishersetc. I found the Fairchild Family Series in a Christian homeschool publishers. I’m not christian, but the book isnt either...the family in the story. is just very wholesome and wonderful.

Thank you for some wonderful new links to explore!

I use a combination of Pinterest and LibraryThing, which is like Goodreads. I do wish I was a little more organized about it. I usually put a book on hold at the library as soon as I hear about it.

You don't use Goodreads for that? As a new homeschooling mom and a fellow (but restrained) book (and list) addict your blog is a godsend and you are opening up my world. My kids won't know what hit them. Now if I could just get them to listen to my recommendations instead of just following the current book trends.

The presenter went through each book and why it was so great. We were told the big book stores are paid to present certain books. This is why when you look at the presentation shelves you see celebrity authors etc. I do wish I had an independent books nearby. I agree with following Amazon lists and who buys books. I often will order books from the big stores, go in to read and then only purchase those I deem worthwhile.

Hurrah! Long may it stay at least somewhere near the top...
And marvellous links for a newbie blogger like myself.

That's particularly helpful for finding books for older kids that have preferences.

Thank you for sharing your strategies, and I LOVE that you posted about libraries and librarians. I'm a teen services librarian and I review books for School Library Journal, so I'm really glad you find library resources useful.
