Goodreads! The answer to "What do I read next?"

We've all been in that position where we've run out of books in a series or gone through everything an author has written - leaving us with the dilemma "What do I read next?"

Well, Eastern Regional Libraries has joined Goodreads to share what's at the top of the best sellers every month and help answer that question so you'll never be out of a good book ever again!

What is Goodreads?
Goodreads is a social cataloguing website for books. You can create your own bookshelves, share reviews, keep up to date with what your friends are reading, join discussion groups and receive recommendations based on what you have read yourself. 

Eastern Regional has currently been creating bookshelves for our Top 10 Reads every month, as well as staff and customer hotpicks, and a listing of author visits we have lined up throughout the year.

Eastern Regional has also become part of the "Librarian's Group", who are responsible for keeping the information regarding book details up to date and accurate (now, who better to curate books than actual librarians?!). So you can rest assured the info on good reads is top notch - because we're on the case!

So come and friend us on our Goodreads page to find out all the latest reading updates. Besides, we like having friends, it makes us feel loved!

Calculated in Death by J. D. Robb

Genre - Mystery

LT Eve Dallas LAPD’s top homicide cop in the bitterly cold winter of New York looks into a supposed mugging gone wrong. The setting is in the future with vintage cars ala 2060 models and very interesting lifestyle of police and public. Drones do sweeps of crime scenes, forensics are far more advanced, and holocaust programming comes into all walks of life, including vending machines with drinks in the form of chew bars etc.

Eve’s side kick Detective Peabody who always is outlandishly dressed with quirks and all. A powerful read, not too gruesome and extremely interesting to find yourself in a futuristic reading mode. Unlike Robb’s last book, which was not for the feint hearted, this book is one worth reading and certainly a book you could read again.

Genre - Mystery

In the pretty cold scenic Norfolk area, a group of archaeologists investigating coastal erosion unearth six bodies buried at the foot of a cliff. Ruth Galloway just back from maternity leave (archaeologist) and seconded to the Police as an expert in forensic tests, finds out that the bodies have been buried for over 60 years.

A fascinating world into archaeology and forensic science combines a gripping story with more than just buried bodies, and lives at stake.
