In my first try on the www.whatshouldireadnext.com <http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/> I typed in Harry Potter by J K Rowling. It then asked me if I meant Half Blood Prince Poster. One of the replies for a similar book was Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving. I'm not too sure about this site.

I decided to give whatshouldireadnext dot com a try. I put in Alex Rider and Horowitz as my search (great favorite in my Middle School). One of the suggestions was Skinny Dip by Hiaasen... I don't think it's one I want to recommend to my MS boys. Marcia Marthy LMS A.D. Oliver Middle School Brockport, NY mmccarth@bcs1.org >>> Alma McDermott <Sunshinealma@AOL.COM> 11/13/2007 7:20 PM >>> Thank you so much to the library geniuses out there. I got "hooked up" with 2 sites, and found one in the archives. Here is the info. for those who asked for a hit. Again, thank you to those who responded. Below is my original request, followed by the responses. Alma Is there a site that will give me information on books that are similar to popular books that have "ended their run"? For example, if a student liked the Stephenie Meyer "Twilight" series or Harry Potter series, etc. this site (if it existed) would contain books I could direct them to read because of their similarity to their past favorites. Thanks, The responses: 1) Do you have access to Novelist? It is a database paid for by our state. There is at least one other really good website that I believe is free but I am totally blanking on it at the moment. 2) http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/ Here it is--What should I read next? 3) _http://nancykeane.com/rl/#Readalikes_ (http://nancykeane.com/rl/#Readalikes) You are the best!
