Book Seer - Fun Application for Recommending Books

Santa Barbara's Cold Spring School Librarian Janet Seer alerted me to Book Seer: "You just type in the title and author of a book you (or your students) liked and it will give you suggestions for other titles you might also like." See http://bookseer.com/ It compares recommendations from Amazon.com v.s. LibraryThing. Amazon is huge, but LibraryThing is cool. It also suggests: "Of course, you could go ask your local bookshop or your local library."

Fill in the blanks...
Child! I've just finished reading by . What should I read next?

This application is just one of many cool tools (literary web project) created by Aptstudio.com

Another new, cool application is Enhanced Edications for the Apple iPhone. Here is a promo for the Death of Bunny Munro:
