I like to read book reviews on Christianbook.com, on Amazon, in the newspapers and in World magazine. I read the book, "Infidel" because of an article about the author in World magazine. I also have a sister who has recommended many books to me. In fact many people in my family read. The best series I have read in a long time was recommended for months to me by my daughter-in-law and although I listened, secretly I thought it would be a boring series because of the time period it was set in. She finally gave up telling me about it and simply brought over her set of books. I then parked them by my bed and one night several weeks later I thought I would give them a try just because I truely love my daughter-in-law. I read the whole book...it was almost 2 am before I fell asleep and I had to be up by 6 am...it was a very long week. I read a book a night and came straight home from work, made supper, cleaned up from supper, told my husband good night and went to bed to read. Fortunately he likes to read and was reading something as well. I'm glad there were only 5 books in that series...I was wiped out. I then bought a brand new set for my daughter-in-law and proceeded to loan out this set to others...so far 3 people have read them and loved them, my husband is currently on book #2 and I have a couple waiting to get them next. I have also ordered 4 used copies of book #1 of the series on amazon to be sent to friends and children who love to read to give them a "taste" of the series. The friends will have to buy the rest on their own, the children I will continue to supply them with more books in this series.
