I get all my book recommendations from BookgroupOnline (see my sig for  a link) :)

I use this site for book reviews (useful especially for those of us who get newbooks mag and can't make up our minds which book to order!)

http://www.bookbrowse.com/

And Google book search (esp the Advanced Search feature) can be helpful for finding book titles etc:

aNobii

Let's you build your online bookshelf & then provides recommendations based on the books you have added. Also has lots other functions. Click the 'my online bookshelf' link in my signature to see it in action.

I tend to just use amazons recommendations as I've been building on that for years.  It would be silly for me to start somewhere else.

Have found this one quite good in the past for ideas - http://www.bookandreader.com/

Also sometimes browse the Daily Mail and You Reading Groups and their associated bookshop http://www.mailbookshop.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/catalog_10351_24001_100

I'm sure Andrew and Neil won't object to me giving another mention to my forum Book Group Online, which can be found - logically - at http://www.bookgrouponline.com. After all, Neil gave ReadItSwapIt a plug on my site when it was in its early days: http://www.bookgrouponline.com/forum/showthread.html?t=1905. Good to see it prospering when other book swap sites (some also plugged on BGO!) have foundered.

We're a very friendly forum, structured a little differently to this one. It would be good to see members from both going back and forth.

I have also used www.whatshouldireadnext.com in the past, although it is a bit hit and miss...

these are great thanks :)

This is a good one for historical fiction
