Hi All,
Are there sites that describe/list new releases and future releases, not
just for specific genres (e.g. mystery, science fiction), but all types of
fiction? Our reserves clerk wants to know of web sites she can refer patrons
to so they are aware of upcoming publications (It wouldn't hurt if the
library staff knew about them too:)). I know someone can help.
Thanks in advance.
Ellen

The best web site for forthcoming books is overbooked.org. I think the
webmaster of that site is on this list--Ann Theis!

At The Bookdragon Review website, I usually list the current month and one
month in advance. Subscribers to the e-zine (it's free) receive the full
forthcoming titles list once a month and can access the archives.
Currently, I list as much forthcoming fiction of all genres as I can find;
it's not limited to one genre.

My current list has already crossed over into 2002. I'd love for anyone
interested to surf by http://www.bookdragonreview.com for a visit.

Overbooked has lists of hot books. Last year their hot books for 2000 was
for the whole year, many of them way ahead of when they were to be
published.. So far I don't see one for 2001. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I have a page that links to most of the excellent sources mentioned
earlier, it also includes the latest PW spring book announcement link
(which does a nice job of providing very brief descriptions of a variety of
major forthcoming titles).http://www.overbooked.org/newbks.html (includes a
link to the Overbooked 2001 lists)

Thanks to the very nice folks who mentioned Overbooked as a resource, it
has been a rough week and y'all perked me up a little!

Hi Christine,
I use bookbrowser all the time for mysteries. I completely forgot about using
it for other genres. Thanks for the reminder.
