I appreciate the diversity of reading lists EarlyWord provides and the convenience of having them all in one place. Links to publisher blogs or Library Journal help me keep up with trends and highly-anticipated new releases. Lists from amazon and Entertainment Weekly let me know what people are reading right now. Viewing these sites give us a snapshot of multiple genres and can clue me in to books that I wouldn't otherwise see because they're held up by patron requests. Knowing these helps me help customers find the titles they heard about.
I expect these lists will come in handy when patrons start looking for good vacation reads. For now, we at Towson are helping readers find titles for school projects and book reports and the Goodreads lists are very helpful for that.
