In case you haven't "heard," National Public Radio is now in the readers' advisory business. Sure they frequently had Nancy Pearl on for guest spots to review books, and they've run lists of best books since at least 2008. But for 2013 and 2014 they have an interactive service called "NPR's Book Concierge."
There are 27 filters that can be used and combined to narrow the recommendation. It's a fun little tool to use whether you're looking for a good read over the holidays or finding something recent that matches a patron's interests. (Remember that NoveList is one of our databases that will also help you find books with very specific interests.)
It would be a great project to compare NPR's best list with GPC holdings and send a list to Angiah for collection development. Anyone interested?
