This is my first post for my new blog What to read? A blog about Reader's Advisory.

 
I have always been interested in Reader's Advisory. Working at the Lincoln Public Library it is my goal for everyone to leave with a book.

So when I hear the words... I have read every Catherine Cookson book and now I have nothing to read and what should  I do... Here is the answer....  Readalikes


What you may ask is a readalike? It is an author that writes similar to another author or has similar settings or characters.


So back to Catherine Cookson question...
