Many thanks for all of the great responses to my request! Compiled, below: Booktube, Bookriot, Penguin, Bookbub, are just a few that I use. BookPage, reviews in B & T, my own listening to podcasts and news interviews (I order NF), B & T selection lists, Amazon and Goodreads reviews (if I'm on the fence, I'll read a few, see what people do and don't like about it), our own catalog - what else do we have by this author and how popular have his/her books been, our libraries' New NF lists (CADL's is especially good), "best of" lists online (best science books of 2020, for example) . . . really, my eyes and ears are always open to what's trending in non-fiction. Emery Pratt offers the CHOICE outstanding academic titles for the current year (2020) through their website. I like the Kirkus Reviews newsletter too. HTH and I hope you share the responses to your question, I can always use more CD resources too! Earlyword.com, Library Reads, Bookpage and Library Journal. Also Amazon Top Picks and Amazon reviews and NYT Bestsellers and Goodreads has reviews also. Since we don’t have a huge budget by the time I go through those and the requests we are pretty much set. The Earlyword website also has a great overview of all the Award Winners from every year. ! am in charge of youth collections and I generally use the publications we subscribe to (Kirkus, LJ, SLJ, PW) and I participate in a lot of free Booklist webinars. Additionally I subscribe to Book Riot and I'm in the Caldecott/Newbery groups on GoodReads. I also review the monthly new releases on the Baker & Taylor calendar and use their other publications as well. For popular fiction I have been using www.fantasticfiction.com. Thanks so much for your time and inspiration! -Sharon -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.
