@bookstodon Maybe everyone already knows this, but in case you don't: there is a great way to search for library e-books you might like.
If you have Libby, do a filtered search for whatever you like in general. While perusing the results, tap on any book you have already read and enjoyed. Scroll down past the description, and it will give you suggestions of other books you might like. This really helped me.
This only works in filtered search, not direct search.
@kimlockhartga@bookstodon My library uses Cloud Library, but I haven't thought of a general search like that. Normally it is a specific title or author. I have enough things to read, or are already aware of to need more suggestions.
@templetongate@bookstodon that's fantastic that you have all the book rec's you can handle. I am always worried that I'm missing out on some great book somewhere. 😁
@kimlockhartga@bookstodon I'm not opposed to getting recommendations, and I have found new favorites, but that usually comes from you or others I'm following on SM. Then I will investigate, but I don't feel the need to seek a "if you like X you should check out Y" sort of search. I have more than I will ever read already, a print library of at least 1500, maybe 1200 on Kindle, some of those being duplicates.
I will have to check to see if it will limit the search to books that are first in a series. I annoy myself when I figure out I'm reading book 4 in a series I would probably have enjoyed from book 1.
@killick@bookstodon omg, yes! That happens to me all the time. It is often unclear that a book is part of a series until you start reading it. Some can be considered standalones, but most aren't.
