One of my goals has been to increase my reading time, which means I am constantly trying to find good books to read. I can be picky about what I read, although I do like a variety of genres. Several years ago I found out about a free email book club that sends a short sample of a book directly to your email address.
The book club is run by Suzanne Beecher at DearReader.com. Every week she highlights one book in each of these genres: Nonfiction, Business, Fiction, Good News, Horror, Mystery, Prepublication, Romance, Teen, Science Fiction, Audio Books, along with a few others. Everyday, she sends you a 5-minute sample from a book, and by the end of the week, you’ve probably read a chapter or two. Then if you want to continue reading, you can go find the book at your local library or bookstore.
I have found several good reads through Suzanne’s suggestions, and that works for me!

From one reader to another, thank you so much for this great tip!
I love to read, so this tip would definitely work for me, too. Thanks!

I get her recommendations in my e-mail too.
I highly recommend it. Another one is http://www.nancypearl.com. She’s a librarian from Washington. I like to listen to her on National Public Radio too and she has great recommendations in all genres.
