At the Harris County Public Library we have been participating in a Book Hunters program for a couple years now. It is great fun trying to match titles to readers tastes.
Readers fill out a detailed interest form and provide a few authors and titles that they like. For example one customer liked fantasy fiction, historic fantasy fiction, and well written history. She said that she likes trilogies and series and these are her favorite authors: Robert Jordan, Terry Brooks, Robin Hobbs, and David Eddings.
Here are a some of the titles suggested to her:
Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman
The Magicians by Lev Grossman
Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Blackout by Connie Willis
Shadowmarch by Tad Williams
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Cold Magic by Kate Elliott
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
Well of Darkness by Margaret Weis
