Re: HIT: Alternatives to V.C. Andrews

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@orednet.org>]

I've found a nifty service online that I use when looking for
"alternatives to..."

First of all, I do NOT work for Amazon.Com ... I'm just a
regular (and happy) customer. But www.amazon.com - a very
complete online bookstore - has a recommendation center
that allows you to do the following searches:

1.  . BookMatcher
            Do you love Poe, but loathe
            Thoreau? Live for histories but
            yawn at mysteries? Tell
            BookMatcher what you love--and
            hate--and it will predict books it
            thinks you'll like. Magic? Truth be
            told, it's just math mixed with fun.
            Give it a go!

2.   If You Like This Author . . .

           If your favorite author is on their list
           of favorite authors, it will try to match
           you up with books by other authors that are
           similar or may appeal to you...

This won't be perfect, sometimes it will recommend,
of course, newer books we may not have yet ... but
it is nifty and my kids like to check it out...
