Fantastic Fiction
Have you ever read a book and thought, I wonder what other authors write in a similar style? Well I found a website that does just that. It’s called Fantastic Fiction. You can search by author, book title, book genre, new books, popular titles, book series, and books coming soon.
If you have a favorite author, you can read their bibliography, find out what awards they have received, find all the book titles they have written, descriptions of all those books, authors they recommend, plus where you can purchase all the books. And my favorite part, it tells you authors who write in a similar style.
One of my favorite authors is Anita Shreve. I discovered that she has a new book out, Testimony. I also found out that she has written quite a bit of non-fiction and has received several literary awards. I checked the similar authors list and found many I already read, but some new ones to explore. I’m loving this site! Hope you have fun with it too.

Wow – this sounds like a great idea as a lot of times I find myself wanting to read books in a similar genre but don’t know which ones to choose.
I’ve never read Anita Shreve but I may have to check out her writing one of these days. I see you list Nicholas Sparks over on your sidebar and he is most definitely one of my favorites!

I can’t wait to have a look. What a great way to find a favorite author’s new book.
By the way, I’m having problems with my custom domain and blogger, so I had to publish my blog back to it’s original blogspot address until I get this mess straightened out.
