What Should I Read Next

We have all been there.  You get to the end of an amazing book and you think," I will never find anything as amazing as this book." You spend a few days looking through your shelfs never really finding anything that perks your interest.  Slowly you either go into a reading slump, or find something completely different to entertain you for a while.

If you are like me, more times than not, you find yourself in a reading slump.

I recently found this site that changed everything I thought I knew about finishing an amazing book.  Before now I always went on Goodreads, reviewed the book, and than searched threw my shelfs to look for something that might look interesting.  Now I no longer need to do that (although I will continue to always post my reviews and rating on Goodreads).

What Should I Read Next is a great site that allows you to search any book and find others similar to it.  This site has any book you could think of with tons of recommendations.  While the user interface is a little hard to use, overall a little playing around showed me how to navigate between my list of books and books similar to ones I was reading.  I also find that many of the books I read have similar recommendations, but fortunately there are TONS of books recommended so I can just skip the ones I keep seeing (or take a hint and read the ones I keep seeing).

Overall I am very happy with this site.  It gives me hope when I finish a book that I can read something just as good again.
