It’s alive it’s alive it’s ALIIIIIIIIVE! We’ve been working on it since September (which is about when people start asking about it) and now the 2020 Book Concierge is here! And we say this a lot, but this year it really IS bigger than ever, with 380+ books picked by our staffers and critics to help you find your next favorite read, or holiday gifts for the family, or something for your book club -- whatever your reading needs, we’ve got you covered!
If you haven’t experienced the glory of the Concierge, it’s a giant matrix of book covers (though you can also look at it in list form) with a list of clickable, stackable tags down the side, like Realistic Fiction or Book Club Ideas or Ladies First. So, if you want a realistic novel for your book club that focuses on women and women’s experiences, you’d click those three tags, and the Concierge would return the books (15 of them this year) that match all those tags -- each one with a blurb from whoever recommended it, links to our coverage, plus ecommerce and library links.
Readers spent a cumulative EIGHT YEARS with the 2019 Concierge; want to see if we can beat that record? Check it out here!
