Here are three more sites / sources I like to use to find recommendations / suggestions for book purchases.
1. Kirkus- This is a great source to find out vast amounts of information about the best books out. I especially like the book reviews, and the Kirkus star given to exceptional books. I find if I concentrate on the stars ( although I like to read all the reviews ) I can get a good cross section of books .
Tabs with quick links also lead to Best of 2014, Best sellers, contests. and Kirkus TV. There are author interviews , tops of the lists, and an email newsletter. There are also Author services to help authors promote their books.
2. Library Media Connections .Com is a great source for staff looking for children's and Ya books. There are reviews which are brief . The best part is the rating system: Highly Recommended, Recommend, and not Recommended.
Also you can find a few featured articles and hot news that will be beneficial to school librarians.
3. Booklist Online also offers some reviews on line even for those who not subscribe. I like the best of lists that they provide.
There is also a lot of content you can view. I find this extremely helpful when doing book orders.
